Learning from One Another

EED supports capacity and competence building in partner organisations by seconding professionals from Europe for an employment based on the German Law pertaining to development workers. Moreover it seconds qualified personnel from southern countries who have completed their studies or training in Germany and intend to return to their native countries.

Various fields of work are covered by EED-seconded personnel, more often though they work in promoting human rights, with disabled, in medical or ecological domains, agriculture or as management consultants. Conflict resolution, non-formal vocational training and cultural promotion belong to their range of activities as well. The professionals become employees of the partner organisation for three to a maximum of six years.

EED supports partner organisations to reach their aims in view of sustainability. Therefore EED seconds personnel and does not realise projects of its own. The secondment is based on three principles:

Autonomy

EED gets active upon request only – the partner organisation is responsible for the project

Independency

Limited employment contract – no executive functions for the professional – the partner organisation is the employer of the professional

Professionalism

Professional skills – professional experience – team approach – intercultural competence – know-how transfer
