About GIZ

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a global service provider in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development dedicated to shaping a future worth living around the world. As a public-benefit federal enterprise, GIZ sup ports the German Government – in particular the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) – and many public and private sector clients in achieving their objec tives in international cooperation in around 120 countries.

Since 2004, GIZ has been a reliable and trusted partner of the African Union (AU) to enhance inclusive growth and sustainable development on the African continent in line with the AU’s Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want. With more than 200 staff, GIZ African Union cooperates with the AU Commission, as well as the AU’s specialised institutions and agencies, such as the Development Agency AUDA-NEPAD, at continental, regional and national level in more than 35 member states. Key areas of engagement include Peacebuilding and Conflict Preven tion, Governance and Migration, Sustainable Economic Growth and Employment, as well as Health and Social Development.

In the last decade, illicit financial outflows from Africa have reached a level almost equivalent to the combined total annual inflows of official development assistance (ODA) and foreign di rect investment (FDI) received by African countries. This vast volume of capital generated and moved illegally not only jeopardises the integrity of financial systems and the continent’s socio economic development by stripping countries of much needed resources, but also has a dev astating impact on countries’ governance, the rule of law and collective security. The EU Ac tion on Combatting Illicit Financial Flows and related Transnational Organized Crime in Sub Saharan Africa is part of the AU-Programme on Strengthening Financing for Development through Combatting Illicit Financial Flows and Effective Debt Management in Africa. The EU Action will be implemented by GIZ at national, regional and inter-regional levels in Sub-Sa haran Africa with other implementing agencies; it is a building block of the continental Team Europe Initiative to support Africa in Combatting Illicit Financial Flows.
