GIZ Mali

About us

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in Mali since 1960. Its office is located in the capital, Bamako.
GIZ primarily works on behalf of the German Development Ministry (BMZ) and the German Federal Foreign Office in Mali, with financial support from Canada in some areas. It focuses on the following priority areas:
-  Good governance, peace, stabilisation, displacement and migration
-  Agriculture and resource conservation
-  Environment and energy
To adapt agriculture to the effects of climate change and strengthen the resilience of the population, GIZ promotes environmentally friendly farming methods and innovative and agroecological value chains. To achieve this, it focuses on the resource-efficient expansion of irrigation systems and greater profitability in production.
GIZ also works to make sanitation in Mail more environmentally sound by advising local institutions on developing a circular economy and by supporting the environmentally friendly expansion of municipal electrification using climate-friendly technology.
