Introduction

As a provider of international cooperation services for sustainable development and international education work, GIZ - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit – is dedicated to building a future worth living 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. Of our 18,260 employees in some 120 countries, almost 70 per cent are national personnel working in the field.

As a public-benefit German federal enterprise, we are committed to meeting our clients’ high standards with regard to transparency and accountability. German and European values are central to our work.

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 benefit from our services, too.

The project is financed by the EU and BMZ and implemented by GIZ and provides local governments, communities and the private sector on both sides of the border with opportunities to improve and diversify livelihoods through a combination of strategic and administrative consultations.

The overall objective of the project is to address the drivers of migration and strengthen the populations’ resilience to instability and displacement in the borderlands of Benishangul Gumuz in Ethiopia and Blue Nile State in Sudan.

This will include investments in enhancing and diversifying livelihoods, including livestock, agriculture and fisheries; strengthening basic service delivery; natural resource management; and promoting cross-border cooperation and coordination, trade and private sector development as well supporting conflict management and resolution capacities.

The intervention logic and proposed action has been developed by the EU and BMZ in a consultative process with their partners, the governments of Ethiopia and Sudan as well as IGAD.
