In many projects, competence development is a specific goal. It is the key to effective and long-lasting changes. To this end, we also use digital learning formats.
Strategic competence development is one of our core tasks. Competencies are the key to effective and long-lasting changes. Strategic competence development refers to the learning processes of individuals while also reflecting the interaction between individual, organisational, and societal levels.
Through close dialogue with partners, this approach helps build sustainable structures that enable effective, results-oriented learning at both organisational and societal levels.
We support professional learning as part of broader capacity development processes. Strategic competence development is especially effective when combined with other GIZ services:
We bring together technical expertise, management skills and methodological know-how. In this way, we shape demand-driven learning processes that are strategic, results-oriented and practice-oriented. Depending on the specific framework conditions, we make use of digital learning formats that enable quality-assured, standardised and inclusive learning. The digital learning platform atingi helps us make digital learning scalable and accessible worldwide.
We view learning as a continuous process and primarily rely on a combination of different learning formats (the blended learning approach). To this end, consider all levels at which competence development can have an impact and analyse:g:
Then we decide in dialogue with the partner to what extent it makes sense to use digital tools and methods, and which are most suitable. Based on this analysis, we design learning spaces that are integrated into partner structures and mainstreamed there on a long-term basis.
atingi is the digital learning platform established by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ. Since 2019, atingi has enabled digital learning for young people and adults in partner countries worldwide. All learning formats are available in multiple languages, comply with data protection regulations and are available online around the clock.
There are more than 300 courses and learning formats in 31 languages covering subjects such as digital competencies, health, artificial intelligence, entrepreneurship and tourism. Our projects can develop their own e-learning modules more quickly and cost effectively, and make them available via the platform.
atingi stands for equitable, digital education that is scalable, sustainable and effective. In this way, we work together with the platform worldwide to provide access to knowledge and promote individual competence development that is effective at the organisational and societal level.
