On Sunday, the German Corporation for International Cooperation (GIZ) opened a youth centre in the city of Ghdames. The aim of the youth centre is to advance this important segment of society by providing a space where they can host recreational, cultural, and sports courses and activities.
The agency also worked in partnership with the Libyan Youth and Sports Authority, Ghdames municipality, and youth hostels to provide the necessary equipment.
GIZ is a German development agency headquartered in Bonn and Eschborn that provides services in the field of international development cooperation.
GIZ mainly implements technical cooperation projects of the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), its main commissioning party. It also works with the private sector and other national and supranational government organizations, (but usually not with non-governmental organizations) on a public benefit basis.
