Around the world, we have over 50 years of experience in a wide variety of areas, including rural and economic development, education and employment, energy and the environment, and peace and security. Together with our partners, we work to deliver flexible, effective and cost-effective solutions that offer people better prospects and sustainably improve their living conditions.
As a public-benefit German federal enterprise, we are committed to meeting our clients’ high standards of transparency and accountability. The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is our main commissioning party. European Union institutions, the United Nations, the private sector and national governments also benefit from our services.
In Ethiopia, GIZ has been implementing development programmes on behalf of the German government for over 40 years together with our national partners. The focus of our work in the country is on vocational education, sustainable use of natural resources, land management and food security, biodiversity and forestry.

The GIZ project supports the Institute for Peace & Security Studies (IPSS) at Addis Ababa University. It forms part of a GIZ programme which supports the African Union in the prevention and management of violent conflicts and peace consolidation within the framework of the African Peace and Security Architecture (APSA).
By offering applied research, trainings and forums for policy dialogue, the IPSS contributes to the capacity development of relevant actors and the development of practical peace and security strategies in Africa.
