gram: Information Technology Consulting (IT-Consulting). This program

stimulated in their work and should be enabled to enhance their com-

In cooperation with German and foreign partners, the CDG forms an in-
ternational network. The CDG focuses on two main areas:
* International training and exchange programs with industrialized
and take-off countries;
* Specialized training cooperation with developing countries.
About 25,000 students, trainees, young professionals, specialists and

sector to achieve its objectives: The international exchange of ex-
perience and know-how; the responsible initiation of a sustainable
development process; personal growth through international profes-
sional experience; promotion of women; worldwide cooperation.
Training for Sustainable Development
The German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development
co-operates with the CDG to implement the government's developmental

ministers international training programs for executives from devel-
oping countries on behalf of the Ministry. The programs emphasize
economic and technological methods and innovative processes to con-
tribute to achieve an ecologically sustainable, economically effi-
cient and socially just world. Therefore, the concept of sustainable
development as agreed upon at the UN Conference on Environment and
