The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is fully owned by the Federal Republic of Germany, represented by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). GIZ is Germany's leading provider of international development cooperation services.
As a federal enterprise, we support the German Government in achieving its objectives in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. We are also engaged in international education work around the globe.
In Nigeria, we support the Nigerian government to articulate, negotiate and implement its ideas for reform and sustainable development. As agreed between the Nigerian and German governments, GIZ’s activities are focused mainly on Sustainable Economic Development, Employment, Renewable Energy, Agriculture, Peace, Reconstruction, Security and Migration.
In addition to our bilateral cooperation with Nigeria, we also support the ECOWAS Commission towards the improved management, implementation and monitoring of ECOWAS policy decisions in the areas of economics, trade, peace and security.
A distinctive feature of GIZ’s activities in Nigeria is the high level of financial contributions obtained from other sources - primarily the European Union (EU) and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. This has made it possible to broaden the scope and intensity of the GIZ Nigeria & ECOWAS portfolio, thereby boosting the effectiveness of German Development Cooperation.
