THE GERMAN MINISTRY OF ECONOMIC COOPERATION AND DEVELOPMENT ANNOUNCES A CONTRIBUTION OF €1,000,000 TO OAS ACTIVITIES FOR 2009
September 22, 2009
On September 17, a high-level delegation from the German Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), together with representatives of the German development agencies, announced a contribution of €1,000,000 to be split evenly between two OAS initiatives: “Supporting the MAPP towards Safeguarding Victims in Colombia,” and “Support of OAS Activities to Promote the Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Latin America.”
The announcement was made by Ms. Dorothee Fiedler, in her capacity as head of the German delegation and General Director for Latin America from the BMZ, within the framework of a meeting held at OAS Headquarters with senior officials of the OAS General Secretariat in the areas of external relations, integral development, political affairs, and international law to discuss priorities for cooperation in the Hemisphere and means for deepening the partnership between the OAS and Germany. The announcement came after the German delegation had the opportunity to engage in a lively discussion with OAS officials on the progress and challenges related to the indigenous rights and Colombian victim protection projects, both of which are currently in execution with funding from the Ministry.
The Permanent Observer Mission of Germany to the OAS was established in 1972, and in 2008 contributed US$2,489,691 to OAS activities, an increase of 163% over the prior year.
