The project „Experts Fund for Municipal Partnerships Worldwide (Experts for Partners)” is a joint project of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Service Agency Communities in One World (SKEW) of Engagement Global.
As a project of German development cooperation, “Experts for partners” supports municipalities in Germany and partner countries in boosting their partnerships. The project assigns international and local experts and thus, makes a contribution towards improving the ability of municipalities to deliver services and demonstrate good local governance, making the cooperation structures of partner municipalities more viable and expanding the commitment of civil society and other relevant stakeholders.
