Development cooperation between Pakistan and Germany goes back to 1961, with the funding volume to date totalling some 2.5 billion Euros. Pakistan was thus one of Germany's first partner countries. The regional focus of this cooperation has traditionally been the north-western part of the country. Germany is one of the few donors to have its own implementing structures. It is active in Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Province (KP) and is one of a few of Pakistan's partners to be implementing measures in the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA) along the border with Afghanistan. Individual measures are also carried out in Gilgit-Baltistan, Azad Jammu Kashmir, Sindh and the Punjab.
Thematic Focus: The following areas are priority areas of cooperation:
Governance
energy
education incl. vocational education and training
health
Geographical Focus: Traditionally, German development cooperation focused on Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province and the Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). At the request of the Government of Pakistan, selected programmes have been expanded to the most populous and economically important province of Punjab and to the Karachi metropolitan area.
Country Programme Strategy: Country Strategy 2015 to 2020 is under development.
Programmes and Projects: German Development Cooperation has a number of new and on-going development initiatives i.e. Education, Energy, Health and Governance in Pakistan.

Technical Cooperation: GIZ - the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH is the largest implementer of Technical Cooperation. GIZ has been engaged in Pakistan on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). GIZ further sub-grants different projects to the different organizations and institutions as per the required implementing expertise.
Financial Cooperation: KfW - As a development bank, KfW works on behalf of the German Government to reduce poverty, protect the climate, ensure peace and organise globalisation in such a way that those living in the world's poorer regions will benefit. In practice, this means: food security and basic education for all, healthy economic growth that does not occur at the expense of the environment, reliable energy supply that helps preserve the climate, and financial services that are available to all and enable people to escape from poverty.
