Municipal partnerships are enriching in so many different ways: Whether it’s new economic contacts, the exchange of know-how or personal meetings, these partnerships enable municipalities in Germany and in the Global South to learn how to successfully confront the global challenges at the municipal level. Municipal players can initiate mutual solution strategies for many issues faced by municipalities and, along with their expertise, expand their intercultural competencies. Our task is to accompany and support them along the way. We are thrilled to encourage this cooperation between cities and communities that mutually bear the responsibility for the sustainable development of our world.
