Organisation Profile
DVV International is the Institute for International Cooperation of the Deutscher Volkshoch-schul-Verbande.V.

Together with our partner, the Ministry of Gender, Community Development and Social Welfare (MOGCDSW) and other stakeholders in the public sector and the civil society, we work towards an adequately resourced, professionally managed adult education system across different sectors.
