Partner

As partners we refer to the major institutions that support and promote our work with third-party funding – such as the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union (EU) or the Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria. The institutional donors and our partners from the private sector only give their grants to organisations which can prove the high quality of their work – DAHW enjoys great confidence in this respect. The most important pillar of our work in the countries where we are active on the ground is our cooperation with local organisations, some of which have been running for decades. They pursue the same strategic and operational objectives as DAHW and often offer the ideal complement to our fields of competence with their expertise. As partners at eye level they make a decisive contribution to coordinating our work in the countries and to implementing it at a high quality level. In the context of larger programmes we increasingly work in consortia of several partners. In some cases, we only gain access to affected people and regions thanks to our long-term partners.
