GIZ in Bangladesh Germany was one of Bangladesh’s first partner countries after it gained its independence. Today, the two countries can look back on more than 40 years of successful cooperation. Working on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and other bilateral donors, including the UK’s Department for International Development (DFID), the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), GIZ has focused on the following priority areas in Bangladesh since 2014: • renewable energies and energy efficiency • good governance, rule of law and human rights • adaptation to climate change in urban areas. In addition to these priority areas, GIZ is implementing projects which focus on health, environmental and resource protection, disaster risk management and reconstruction, and the promotion of resilience at community level. GIZ cooperates with other German implementing organisations, such as KfW Development Bank, and is involved in a number of development partnerships with local and international companies.
