Winds of change driving the energy transition in the Cape

To bring about a Just Energy Transition (JET), you have to take everyone with you and get them actively involved. On behalf of the German Government, GIZ supports a number of South African partner organisations as they embark on this journey. We interviewed a wide range of people about the changes they see happening in the Cape.

‘Talking openly about menstrual health’

The Zambian national women’s football team is setting an example for women’s and girls’ health. Ahead of the team’s participation in the Olympic Games in Paris, players have launched the #kickTheSTIGMA campaign in collaboration with GIZ. The aim is to break down taboos surrounding the topic of menstruation.

Agenda 2030

Nothing less than the ‘transformation of our world’ is at the centre of the 2030 Agenda. Economic progress worldwide should be in harmony with social justice and the protection of natural resources.

Since its adoption by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, the 2030 Agenda, together with the Paris Climate Agreement, has been the guiding principle of German development cooperation and the overarching framework to which GIZ aligns its work.
