AIIB and GIZ to Deepen Collaboration on Green Infrastructure Investment
The Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank (AIIB) and the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH have agreed to strengthen strategic collaboration and set a roadmap for joint action over the next three years.
The two institutions signed a letter of intent that marks the next step in developing their partnership and outlines priority areas of cooperation in green, climate and biodiversity infrastructure; connectivity and regional cooperation; technology-enabled and social infrastructure; and private-capital mobilization. AIIB was represented in Brussels by Ludger Schuknecht, Vice President of Policy and Strategy and GIZ by Ina Hommers, Director General Client Liaison and Business Development.
AIIB and GIZ will jointly identify, prepare and implement eligible sustainable infrastructure projects and climate programs in AIIB members and partner countries of GIZ. The partnership will combine GIZ's technical and capacity-building services and global presence with AIIB' financing capabilities to deliver impactful, scalable solutions. Both institutions also plan to mobilize concessional resources for joint initiatives, share knowledge and best practices, and explore opportunities for staff exchanges and institutional learning, reflecting a shared commitment to advancing inclusive and sustainable development across Asia and beyond.
“This milestone deepens our collaboration with the GIZ,” Schuknecht said. “By leveraging our collective expertise and resources, we can accelerate the delivery of high-impact, sustainable infrastructure that is green, inclusive and resilient. Together, we are advancing a shared vision of sustainable development that leaves no one behind.”
“Closing the global infrastructure finance gap requires cooperation,” Hommers stated. “Combining technical cooperation on the ground with strategic financing to meet partner countries’ needs for sustainable development motivates us to explore new avenues for cooperation between GIZ and AIIB.”
