The Association of German Development Services (AGdD) is the umbrella association for the development service providers recognised by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). Our members place or send professionals who want to work in projects initiated within the scope of development cooperation or the Civil Peace Service. The Development Workers Act (EhfG) provides the basis for our work. The Act was adopted in 1969, and the German Government has been offering financial support for development worker assignments ever since.

The Reintegration Programme, which we run from our office in Bonn, provides advice and supports professionals in making career decisions when they return from their assignments. This programme is available to professionals from all seven development service providers.
