Cooperation

The Technical Cooperation has not been solely confined to governments and Ministries of Education. Cooperation with non-governmental organisations (NGOs) as well as with national and international development agencies is on the rise and becoming more and more important.
In the field of Education and Conflict Transformation GTZ aims for cooperation with German, national and international partners with the aim of

• jointly developing concepts and strategies,
• coordinating and more effectively implementing activities at the operational level.

Currently, GTZ has cooperation agreements with the following organisations:

• Interagency Network for Education in Emergencies (INEE)
  The INEE serves a unique purpose in reaching out to education practitioners around the world working in situations of emergencies and crisis. In view of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the EFA Declaration and the Dakar Framework, INEE promotes access and completion of education of high quality for all persons affected by emergencies, crises or chronic instability.

• International Bureau of Education (IBE), UNESCO
  IBE works on three main lines of action: organizing the sessions of the International Conference on Education as an international forum for dialogue on educational policy; collecting, analyzing and disseminating educational documentation and information; and undertaking surveys and studies in the field of comparative education.

• Institute for Peace Education, Tübingen
  Since its establishment (1976) the Institute for Peace Education has consistently pursued the goal of bringing the problems of peace and conflict into the forefront of public consciousness. The work in this area is based on the efforts to bring the results of scientific study – in particular peace research – combined with practical work, which is relevant for peace education into the public eye.
