Engagement Global gGmbH – Service for Development Initiatives

Engagement Global gGmbH – Service für Entwicklungsinitiativen is the central contact agency in Germany for development policy initiatives, both at a national and international level. Since 1 January 2012 Engagement Global unites under its roof institutions, initiatives and support programmes of developmental work with the aim to actively promote a fair global coexistence.

Engagement Global is the first German central contact agency that offers a multitude of options for development policy commitment, information service and educational work, - and all this through just one telephone number, one address and one website.

Engagement Global informs about current projects and initiatives in Germany and worldwide, advises individuals and groups on development projects and also offers financial support. We provide the necessary qualification at a needs-based level, unite individuals and institutions and support the commitment of civil society, of municipalities, private operators and institutions.

Our wide range of developmental information service, educational work and financial support options strengthens the active commitment of the civil society – both at home and abroad in the partner countries of German development cooperation.

The services we offer to interested citizens, associations and non-governmental organisations, economic enterprises, municipalities, teachers and pupils comprise:

  • Information: Engagement Global informs about possibilities for development policy commitment – either within an organisation, in terms of projects or educational work, irrespective of whether it is a limited in time or a long term commitment, either at home or abroad.
  • Consultancy: From the initial consultation up to the final evaluation – Engagement Global provides advice to individuals and groups, as well as to organisations and municipalities regarding their plans of getting actively involved in development policy and on the sustainable implementation of projects. Our regionally competent and professional experts will advise you on the contents and formalities from the moment of generating ideas, via the application formalities and up to the implementation and evaluation of the project.
  • Further education: Engagement Global offers possibilities for needs-based further training and education. We link the global learning institutions and initiatives with learners and educators. We also organise information, learning and qualification events on development policy issues and offer comprehensive literature and learning material on a broad range of topics for every age group.
  • Financial assistance: Engagement Global assists you in obtaining funding for the implementation of projects and initiatives. We support you during the application process for financing and advise you on how to comply with the funding criteria.
  • Networks: Engagement Global links individuals, groups, organisations and associations with each other at an international level and promotes cooperation aiming at a globally sustainable development across borders.

Engagement Global is commissioned by the German Federal Government and funded by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development. Engagement Global shares the Ministry's goal of getting more citizens actively involved in development policy initiatives.

Engagement Global is a non-profit organisation with limited liability (gGmbH). Our headquarters are in Bonn. We also operate offices in Berlin, Düsseldorf, Hamburg, Mainz, Leipzig and Stuttgart.
