The Role of the Länder and Municipalities in Development Cooperation
The Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) regards the 16 federal states, or Länder, and the municipalities, of which there are around 11,500 in Germany, as important partners in shaping German development policy. Their activities in the field of development information and education make a major contribution to raising the public's awareness and understanding of development cooperation. Their programmes and partnerships in developing countries also reflect their commitment to development.
