Development policy

Our ethical and theological deliberations provide unequivocal guidance for our policy and activities within the field of development: Our principle and aim is to create decent conditions for all. All inhabitants of the earth, including future generations, have the right not only to survive but also to live a life of fulfilment in human dignity. Decent human conditions exist where the poor can live and are accepted as subjects of their own action and history. This is why the poor must be the focal point of any development strategy. Against this background we observe, comment and work on the international, European and German development policy.
