Global challenges do not stop at borders. The same goes for climate change, migration and political conflicts. Overlapping crises have an impact on Europe and on Germany, too. At this year’s annual press conference, Thorsten Schäfer-Gümbel, Chair of the GIZ Management Board, explained the triple impact of international cooperation. First, GIZ achieves results in the partner countries for every individual person that it supports. Second, it achieves results in around 120 countries, by creating prospects and more stable conditions. Third, the results that GIZ achieves around the world have a medium and long-term impact in Germany. In 2023, more than 25,600 people from 152 countries worked for GIZ. Business volume in 2023 was EUR 3.96 billion. This press kit contains the 2023 Integrated Company Report, the speech given by the Chair of the Management Board and the corresponding press release.
