DSE restructures

The German Foundation for International Development (DSE) has restructured after changing its charter. It will now be funded by six states which actively promoted the “old” DSE: Baden-Württemberg, Bavaria, Berlin, North Rhine-Westphalia, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt. The DSE outsourced its business activities to InWEnt gGmbH back in 2002. It has a 8.33 percent shareholding in InWEnt.

Each of the six states has one member on the DSE’s newly-appointed board of trustees. Ernst-Christoph Stolper, head of department at the Ministry for the Environment and Conservation, Agriculture and Consumer Affairs in North Rhine-Westphalia, has been elected chairperson, and Reinhild Otte, assistant head of department at the Ministry for Culture, Youth and Sports in Baden-Württemberg, is deputy chairperson. At the next meeting the committee will discuss the foundation’s future activities.
