To ensure its programmes and projects are optimally implemented GTZ cooperates closely with KfW Entwicklungsbank (KfW development bank) and Centrum für internationale Migration und Entwicklung (CIM), a joint working group of GTZ GmbH and the German Federal Employment Agency (BA).

CIM is also active in Montenegro, where it places highly qualified specialist and management personnel with local employers. This promotes sustainable development and also encourages capacity development among the partners.

A co-financing project is in place with the Austrian Development Agency (ADA) that aims to develop a sustainable tourism sector for Montenegro. There is very close cooperation and coordination with the EU, the United Nations Development Programme, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and the World Bank.
