What we offer

Sustainable forest management, forest policy advice, certification
We help to formulate and implement forest policy processes and strategies for forest conservation and use. This can involve integrating forest-related themes in poverty reduction strategies, developing management methods and certification mechanisms, and carrying out basic and further training activities.

Conserving nature, preserving biodiversity
We provide training and advise our partners on policy formulation, environmental conventions, strategy development, agrobiodiversity conservation, long-term financing and modern information management.

Managing water catchment areas and mountain regions
Our objective is to make water resource management socially, economically and ecologically sustainable.

Further services provided by GTZ in the field of natural resource management:

• Promoting sustainable tourism

What you can achieve with us

Our approach aims to bring about a balance between the needs of human society and those of the natural environment. We aim to enhance political frameworks, identify cross-sectoral perspectives for resource use and reconcile the divergent interests of social groups in relation to natural resources.

How we work

We deliver results that are measurable in terms of concrete development progress. We achieve our impacts through our strong methodological competency.
We perform services precisely where they are needed and adapt them to the specific situation, country, and task at hand.
Our activities follow the principle of sustainable development: social equity, economic viability and ecological sustainability.
