The individual players (selection)
Senior Expert Service
The Senior Expert Service (SES) is a non-profit organisation. The SES makes it possible to harness the technical experience of individuals who have retired from professional life for development cooperation. These SES experts concentrate on resolving acute technical or business problems in small and medium-sized enterprises. However, its clients also include public institutions, local authorities and non-profit bodies. Through its work, local personnel can also receive training and further training. Since it was founded in 1983, the SES has conducted more than 20,000 assignments in 156 countries.
An SES assignment generally lasts at least three weeks, but never more than six months. The client in the partner country is, as a general rule, expected to pay the costs of the assignment. If this proves impossible, BMZ funds can be used to pay part of the costs. In 2008, the BMZ contributed some 5.8 million euros to support SES assignments.
