DEVELOPING A STRATEGIC ORIENTATION FOR MAINTAINING AND BUILDING ON RELATIONISHIPS TO THE EU-INSTITUTIONS AND PARTNERS IN BRUSSELS

Sector:
STRATEGY DEVELOPMENT

Country/Region:
EU

Client:
Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

Date:

Background: Following a workshop discussion, the GIZ representative office in Brussels was commissioned to draw up a site experience report since the implementation of bauhaus15. The experience report served to prepare a basis to decide whether the Brussels representation should be commissioned to lead the development of a strategic paper on the location (and the appearance of GIZ in) Brussels or an EU strategy.

Objectives and Results: The objectives the EUSG attained regarding the strategic orientation served to improve EU-related knowledge, competence and capacity within the GIZ in three areas: providing advisory services, optimizing GIZ support of the German federal government and the EU Commission, and making GIZ a preferred partner of the EU, offering “European solutions” to global challenges.
