Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ)

The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH has been working in South Africa since 1995. A country office opened in Pretoria in 1996.

GIZ partnered with WWSOSA as part of The Inclusive Violence and Crime Prevention programme (VCP) which was recognised for its exceptional approach to promoting gender equality in the GIZ Gender Competition 2024.

The VCP programme scooped second prize in the GG1 Category at the awards for its submission, “Mobilising and capacitating the Faith Sector as a credible and effective stakeholder in addressing and preventing gender-based violence in South Africa”, as implemented by We Will Speak Out South Africa in partnership with the Inter-faith Faith Action to End GBVF Collective in South Africa.
