To bundle knowhow for optimal results, GTZ cooperates closely with other organisations committed to development policy work. GTZ also works successfully with the political foundations, the major German churches and other non-governmental organisations. PPP interlink the interests of development-policy institutions and those of commercial enterprises in a way that helps both sides to achieve their goals with greater effectiveness, speed and economy.
All sides profit from the partnership.
In 1999 and 2000 GTZ initiated more than 100 partnerships of this type, focussing on partnerships with small and medium sized companies.
