About GTZ

GTZ China –             
German Partner for Sustainable Development  

The federally owned Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, an international cooperation enterprise for sustainable development with worldwide operations, has been working in China for more than 25 years.

Today, GTZ fosters China’s reform process as outlined in the 11th Five-Year-Plan, to build a harmonious, resource-saving society and strive for a balance between economic growth, social equality and environmental protection. The challenges surrounding resource efficiency and climate change issues feature highly on GTZ’s agenda.

GTZ China works primarily for the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). It also operates on behalf of other German ministries and international clients, such as the European Commission and private enterprises. GTZ works on a public-benefit basis.

Currently, GTZ provides policy advice in China to upper level decision-making institutions and is holding international dialogues with national decision makers promoting the many aspects of sustainable development. It offers technical advisory services for pilot projects in both the public and private sectors.

At present in China about 30 seconded experts and 110 national personnel are involved in 22 projects and in 12 public-private partnership (PPP) initiatives.

GTZ China focuses on:

• Economic and Social Reform
• Legal Advisory Services
• Financial Sector Development
• Vocational Training and Labour Market Policy
• Environmental Policy
• Energy Management
• Natural Resources Management
• Sustainable Urban Development
• Corporate Social Responsibility

In China GTZ operates in fields where German participants have solid experience and competitive advantages. By virtue of the longstanding nature of its cooperation and the expertise of German specialists, GTZ has developed close ties with Chinese networks and is building upon this relationship to foster German-Chinese cooperation. This makes modern technical cooperation an effective and valuable component of German policy, which sustainably supports Germany's interests in China.
