Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (Yemen)

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) in Yemen is the German government's organization responsible for conducting development cooperation initiatives in Yemen. GIZ works to provide swift and flexible assistance during a time of civil instability and unrest, adjusting their development aims and approach to suit the key needs of the Yemeni people in the midst of a catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The current priorities include sanitation and drinking water supply, as well as developing capacity for local water utilities; teacher and administrative staff instruction, development of schools, and psychological assistance for pupils; promoting food security and providing assistance to internally displaced persons and communities where they reside; and other fields of engagement such as health, economic growth and employment, administration, and peacebuilding. Poverty alleviation, human rights, and gender equality are all integrated into GIZ projects and programs in Yemen.
