Details The federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft fr Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH supports the German Government in achieving its development-policy objectives.

The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) is its major client.
The BMZ contracts implementing organisations with the concrete realisation of the development-policy projects and programmes of the German government. KfW Entwicklungsbank and the Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft (DEG), a subsidiary of the KfW Group, are responsible for Financial Cooperation.

The company also operates on behalf of other German ministries, the governments of other countries and international clients, such as the European Commission, the United Nations and the World Bank, as well as on behalf of private clients.
