Triangular cooperation has been recognized by the Government of Germany as an effective tool to foster partnerships, mutual understanding and trust between those involved. The Fund for Triangular Cooperation with Asia is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ).The Fund seeks to promote sustainable development in developing countries via triangular cooperation by creating a support mechanism that encompasses three fields of action:
- Implementation of Triangular Cooperation projects (based on joint agreements and calls for proposal)
- Policy Dialogue
- Capacity Development
