Our focus

We work with our partners to develop projects and then present them to donors or fund them ourselves. The areas in which we operate are very diverse. They are selected on the basis of the specialist knowledge of the partner organisations or the local context. We select our partner organisations not on the basis of the field in which they specialise, but on the basis of their experience in humanitarian assistance. This is why the areas in which Diakonie Katastrophenhilfe operates vary from project to project and from country to country. On the one hand, this makes us flexible and able to respond to all types of disaster and emergency situation. On the other, the specialist support we can offer to partners is limited. However, our strategy process has shown that we have many effective strategies and practical expertise in a wide range of areas.
