The Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ)

BMZ is the primary State developmental body in Germany; its guiding principles are the protection of human rights, including the right of all people to live in peace and freedom, and a world free from poverty. Through partnership with governments and NGOs, BMZ aims to: improve access to education for all; help create an inclusive health system in the developing world; promote rural development and food security; and promote good governance and sustainable economic development on a global scale through effective multinational agreements.
