Description of the Organization

The NGO Management Association (NMA) is registered in Switzerland as a non-profit organisation. Behind NMA is a group of people who are active in development cooperation and humanitarian aid, as well as continuing education in these fields.

The aim of NMA is to help NGOs in the North and South to sustainably improve their management knowledge and skills so that they can even more effectively benefit their communities. To this end, we have been running NGO Manager, a website and newsletter with selected free management tools for NGOs, on a voluntary basis since 2001. We run management courses for NGOs and other non-profit organisations and associations. In 2007, we successfully ran our first courses in Vietnam, Cambodia and Nepal, and in 2008, our first courses in  Switzerland.

Description of the Organization

‘Bread for the World’ has been the relief organisation of the Protestant Churches in Germany since 1959. Every year, it promotes more than 1,000 projects in Africa, Asia, Latin America and Eastern Europe. ‘Bread for the World’ assists partner organisations in ‘community capacity building’. ‘Bread for the World’ stands up for the rights of people who are disadvantaged and marginalised in the globalised world. Its motto is ‘Justice for the Poor’.

For many years, ‘Bread for the World’ has focused on global education in its educational work as well. Teachers are invited to join the Arbeitskreis Pädagogik (working group for education). At the annual meetings, new classes focusing on global education are developed.

The journal Global Lernen (learning globally) is published every four months and is also available online at www.brot-fuer-die-welt.de/global-lernen/. Each issue deals with a topic related to development policy and contains didactic advice and suggestions for teaching in upper secondary education. Previous issues dealt with the global financial crisis, nuclear weapons and development cooperation.

In addition, the ‘Bread for the World’ staff organises events and seminars with specialists from partner countries, creates teaching materials, holds competitions and organises school and youth campaigns – including the campaign ‘Fair Play for Fair Life’ and the nutrition campaign Niemand isst für sich allein (nobody is/eats on their own) (www.brot-fuer-die-welt.de/ernaehrung). Furthermore, ‘Bread for the World’ offers further training of teachers and classroom visits.
