GIZ has operated in the Russian Federation since 1993. Since 1996 we have maintained our own office. A total of 20 staff members are currently working for GIZ in Russia. Our work, which was originally geared to supporting the ethnic German minority in Russia, today also embraces projects that we are implementing on behalf of the European Union and various German federal ministries.
On behalf of the German Government, projects and programmes are supporting national minorities, providing manager training and spotlighting environmental issues.
In Russia, GIZ IS operates primarily in the fields of environmental protection and legal and judicial reform.
