GIZ Mission Statement
Seite 6
Vision Our actions are guided by the principles of sustainability. We believe that only by combining social responsibility, ecological
balance, political participation and economic capability will current and future generations be able to lead secure and dignified lives.
Conflicting goals and interests have to be resolved fairly among all stakeholders. Negotiation processes of this kind must be professionally designed if development is to be sustainable.
In particular, we: advocate respect for human rights, equal opportunities and integrity; support the rule of law and civic participation and are committed to
ensuring fair negotiation processes, both within and outside the company;
promote a market-oriented, ecological and social economic order and observe the principles of corporate responsibility in our work.

GIZ‘s understanding of capacity development
Sharing information and toolkits for advancing sustainable developmentNovember 15, 2012
Capacity development is process through which individuals, organisations and societies mobilise, retain, adapt and extend their ability to make development sustainable.
support delivered by external partners is a key instrument of development cooperation that enables people, organisations and societies to develop and expand their proactive management capacities.
Capacity development is fundamentally a process which must be driven by stakeholders themselves
External partners can support the development of ownership and can temporarily assume a share of the responsibility during these processes.
