Creating Justice – Paving the Way for Peace

The Middle East has plenty of potential for development. However, a significant obstacle in the region is the lack of rights and participatory opportunities. Inequality polarises and foments violence. Where justice and equality prevail, peace can take hold. We work with our partners toward sustainable and fair development in the Middle East and toward a non-violent resolution of the many conflicts within the region. The various programmes have but one overall goal: to support the growth of a pluralistic civil society in which moderate forces strive toward the peaceful co-existence of all religions and interest groups.

In addition to supporting the work of the Christian churches, primarily in the area of social services, the Church Development Service (EED) also provides support to important civil society projects in the Middle East. Our partners are committed to democracy, compliance with international law and human rights, peaceful conflict resolution and the promotion of equal rights and opportunities for the younger population of the region.

Since 2007, MISEREOR - a German Catholic development organisation - and EED work together in the "Joint Initiative for International Humanitarian Law in the Middle East" to help non-governmental organisations from the region to express their concerns with regard to human rights and international humanitarian law more effectively in Germany and Europe.
