Spotlight on governance

BMZ outlines structural reform

The attention good governance deserves

04-30/ The German Ministry for Economic Development and Cooperation have published their roadmap for structural reform this month, result of a broad internal decision-making process. The claims for the coming decades titled "BMZ 2030" set out to put stern emphasis on human rights, governance and anti-corruption throughout partner countries of German bilateral ODA. This means putting key factors for successful development on the agenda. From the start of our business ECO Consult has worked for integrated concepts to link up ecological demands with conducive societal frameworks and has supported states in adopting democratic reform into their policies. Partnerships with private agencies, civil society and multilateral initiatives are an indispensable trigger for effectiveness and efficiency.  > GOVERNANCE
