Working efficiently, effectively and in a spirit of partnership, we support people and societies in developing, transition and industrialized countries in shaping their own futures and improving living conditions. This is what the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) is all about.

With the German Palestinian Police Partnership (GPPP) Programme, GIZ will build on the legacy Germany has established with the Palestinian Civil Police throughout the ten years of partnership.

The programme will continue to ensure that the Palestinian Civil Police is empowered to provide security and order in its jurisdiction to the Palestinian population.
