Overview

A better life for all and meaningful work for its employees – that’s GIZ recipe for success. For more than 50 years, the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), a German government company, has supported the global implementation of development policy goals. Together with partner organizations in 120 countries, GIZ is involved in a wide variety of projects. If you want to make a difference in the world and develop yourself in the process, you’ve come to the right place.

Area of activity

The Global Fund for Innovation in Agriculture and Food (i4Ag), part of the Special Initiative on the Transformation of Agriculture and Food Systems (SI AGER), promotes gender-sensitive and user-centered innovations on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Since June 2022, the i4Ag Fund has been implementing the large-scale EU/BMZ/Netherlands co-financed single measure “Sustainable Agriculture for Forest Ecosystems” (SAFE). SAFE supports partner countries in implementing the new EU regulation on deforestation-free products to protect forests and indigenous forest communities.

Specifically, relevant stakeholders in 10 selected partner countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America (Brazil, Burundi, Ecuador, Indonesia, Cameroon, Democratic Republic of Congo, Peru, Zambia, Vietnam, and Uganda) are being supported in minimizing deforestation caused by the expansion of agricultural production through jointly developed measures. The project supports the development of partnerships at the regional and global level, in particular the implementation of the new Team Europe Initiative (TEI) on deforestation-free agricultural supply chains.
