The Heinrich Böll Stiftung, associated with the German Green
Party, is a legally autonomous and intellectually open political foundation.
Our foremost task is political education in Germany and
abroad with the aim of promoting informed democratic opinion, socio-political
commitment and mutual understanding. In addition the Heinrich Böll Foundation
supports artistic and cultural as well as scholarly projects, and co-operation
in the development field. The political values of ecology, democracy, gender
democracy, solidarity and non-violence are our chief points of
reference.
Heinrich Böll's belief in and promotion of citizen
participation in politics is the model for the foundation's work.
The
Heinrich Böll Foundation's most important area of activity are its projects
in developmental co-operation and international policy. With 22 offices
worldwide, we currently support projects in
more than 60 countries on four continents.
The Foundation has been supporting civil
society initiatives in Southern Africa since 1989, mainly through
funding, advocacy and networking.
