Germany - DAC Peer Reviews of Development Co-operation, 2015

Germany stands ready to advance sustainable development as both a domestic and a global issue

Since 2013, Germany has advanced the principles of universality, shared responsibility and transparent monitoring in the design of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in September 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly. Leading by example, the Federal Ministry for Economic Co-operation and Development (BMZ) issued a “Charter for the Future” in 2014, which sets out its vision for contributing to sustainable development at home and abroad.
