Social Development

Societies need stable and functioning social structures. No country in the world can possibly successfully move toward sustainable development without sufficient education and an efficient health system. Inwent promotes these structures with its Social Development department. Our capacity building programmes are aimed at improving social services and increasing access to them by poorer segments of the population in particular. Learning from one another is central to our endeavours: Alumni come together to form international knowledge communities where they support one another in word and deed. Our E-learning and Alumni divisions, both active company-wide, are especially dedicated to serving this goal.

Inwent’s Library and Documentation Service is the largest source of information on development policy in Germany. Commissioned by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), it serves as a disseminator of knowledge and information. This service is open to all public and private parties active in German development cooperation.

The department comprises four divisions:
