12 About the GTZ Profile and Structure The German Government established the (GTZ) in 1975 as a government-owned, but privately organised corporation for international cooperation. GTZ s aim is to help positively shaping the political, economical, ecological and social development to improve the living conditions and perspectives of people in developing and transition countries. GTZ supports complex development and reform processes. GTZ is the major interface between the political steering of the German Federal Ministry for Economic and Development (BMZ) and the implementation of projects and programmes in partner countries. The BMZ is the main financing organisation of the GTZ. GTZ also operates on behalf of other German ministries, the German Federal Foreign Office, partner-country governments, national and international development cooperation organisations and international clients such as the European Commission, the United Nations and the World Bank, as well as on behalf of private enterprises. GTZ operates in 63 countries. The GTZ offices coordinate the regional and sectoral networking of the projects in the country concerned. GTZ works closely together with the German embassy. Over 10,000 employees are working worldwide in over 130 countries. Some 8,500 of them are locally-contracted nationals. Around 1,000 employees work at GTZ Head Office in Eschborn/Germany. GTZ is currently supporting some 2,700 projects and programmes worldwide and its fiscal turnover reached in 2002 a total of USD 1033,4 million. In the seventies the focus of the GTZ was on building the technical skills of individuals, while in the eighties the priority shifted to the development of organisations, in particular state organisations, in partner countries. In the early nineties, began to focus on the importance of political and institutional frameworks for development. Over a period of almost thirty years, the GTZ has gained a wealth of knowledge and experience in this field, has been able to develop its own advisory competencies and has devised a range of services. GTZ s consultancy services span a wide range of activity areas, from economic development and employment promotion, through health and basic education to environmental protection, resource conservation and regional rural development. Government advisory services have become increasingly important in recent years. GTZ is now supporting numerous partner countries in their efforts to introduce comprehensive reform processes and to initiate the necessary changes in the policy, economic and social frameworks. Further information about the GTZ is available in the Internet at: GTZ Department of Transport Transport is the key to development. Transport shapes social, economic, ecological and political structures. Transport is what makes economic development, communications and access to education and health care possible. Sustainable development relies to a large extent on a well-functioning transport sector. Transport is a major political challenge. Economic growth, rapidly expanding populations, and growing consumer demands are exposing developing countries to substantial supply and maintenance problems for transport infrastructure. In the coming decade, the need for transport-sector services is expected to double in many countries. The transport sector remains one of the most important areas of bilateral and international development cooperation. GTZ's advisory and consultancy services address sectoral-policy-makers, administrations, industrial managers and specialists, governments and consulting/planning institutions, on both the demand and the supply side. GTZ's consultant activities in the transport sector: - Organization and financing of road maintenance (with the Road Management Initiative RMI) - Private sector participation in and commercialization of infrastructure - Eco-efficient management of ports - Efficiency in the rail sector - Transport logistics and Development-Oriented Emergency Aid (DEA) - Dangerous goods transport and transport safety 12
