About Us
Global Project Partners e.V.
Partnership at Eye Level
We are Global Project Partners e.V. (GPP) – a Berlin-based non-profit association established in 2001 committed to sustainable development and cross-border collaboration. In close cooperation with actors from business, civil society, and local communities, we design and implement innovative projects across the EMEA region (Europe, Middle East, and Africa).
Together—with our partners, networks, and communities—we are shaping a more equitable, connected, and sustainable future.
Our intercultural team at GPP brings deep experience, flexibility, and creativity to every project. We co-create tailor-made solutions that respond directly to the needs and potential of our partners—on the ground and across borders.
Our Core Principles:
- Strong Partnerships: We invest in long-term collaborations, both within Germany and internationally, drawing on our well-established local networks.
- Shared Responsibility: We work hand in hand with all stakeholders, guided by the conviction that co-ownership and empowerment are essential for sustainable impact.
- Empowerment through Potential: We believe real transformation begins with recognizing and nurturing the existing strengths of individuals and communities.
Additionally, we are actively expanding our initiatives with the Women in Business Network, creating platforms that support female entrepreneurs, promote leadership, and strengthen economic participation. By connecting women across borders and sectors, we help build inclusive ecosystems where all voices are heard and valued. For more information, please check: Women in Business Network
We are proud to work closely with diaspora communities in Germany, recognizing their vital role as bridges between cultures and engines of innovation and development. Their lived experience, networks, and engagement are integral to our mission of fostering global solidarity and localized impact. For more information please check: Digital Arabia Network

Annual Report
2016-2017
The refugee crisis was one of the topics that moved us very much in 2016 and 2017.
The past years have been marked by increasing instability in many of our long-standing partner countries. But also in Germany, however, the effects of these crises led to stirring debates about the reception of a large number of refugees.

Initiative, Partnership, Solidarity reaching out to each other for a peaceful future.
2012 was not a peaceful year. Many regions of the world were dominated by social unrest and economic crisis, in particular also the Southern neighbors of Europe located in the MENA region. How can we reach out to them in order to bring about a successful change?
