The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a federal enterprise with worldwide operations. GIZ supports the German Government in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development. GIZ has been working as a development partner of Bangladesh since 1972 under bilateral agreement. Currently, we are working in the areas of renewable energy, adaptation to climate change, private sector development and technical education, biodiversity, as well as good governance and displacement.
This specific assignment is part of the implementation of a project called “Sustainability in the Textile Sector in Bangladesh II” (STILE II). Currently, the project is commissioned for three years (07/2024 – 06/2027). The STILE II project aims to support state and private actors of Bangladesh’s textile and garment industry in implementing measures in line with the sustainability requirements of the EU. This is intended to empower stakeholders in Bangladesh to steer and shape future trade relations in a sustainable manner. The political partner is the Ministry of Commerce (MoC), relevant implementation partners are the Export Promotion Bureau (EPB) and the Department of Environment (DoE).
At the political level, the project aims to support the facilitation of discussions with decision-makers on the implications of EU sustainability requirements, such as decarbonization, circular economy, or transparency in data collection processes. Furthermore, policy recommendations are supposed to be derived from these discussions under the steering of the MoC in a multi-stakeholder process. The project supports the implementation of these recommendations, including the development of coordination structures between ministries (Output 1).
