Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke

The Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke in Deutschland e.V. (agl) is the nationwide umbrella organization of the 16 Eine Welt-Landesnetzwerke. Founded in 1999, the agl represents the interests of its members at the federal level and advocates for a future-oriented, global development based on the principles of social justice, ecological sustainability, democracy, and participation.

• Networking and Coordination: The agl networks and coordinates the activities of its 16 Landesnetzwerke to ensure consistent and effective development policy work throughout Germany[2][4].
• Educational, Informational, and Project Work: The agl supports its members through educational, informational, and project work to promote and strengthen engagement for a Eine Welt[2][3].
• Public Relations and Campaigns: Through public awareness actions and campaigns, the agl raises public awareness of Eine Welt issues and motivates behavioral changes in personal and political areas[2].
• Services: The agl offers services for its members, local initiatives, and multipliers to support and network their work[2].

The main mission of the agl is to strengthen civil society initiatives, Eine Welt groups, and non-governmental organizations that are committed to issues related to Eine Welt. This is achieved through political advocacy, public relations, and networking. The agl advocates for Eine Welt policy as a cross-cutting task of all political departments at the federal and state levels and represents the interests of disadvantaged population groups, especially in the countries of the Global South[2][3].

• Eine Welt Promoters Program: The program, coordinated by the agl at the federal level, includes over 160 promoters who are committed on-site to a socially just and globally sustainable development. They promote civil society engagement, advise and qualify activists, and develop creative ideas and campaigns to tackle global challenges such as climate change, resource scarcity, and economic crises[1].
• Intercultural Opening: In model projects, such as the one in North Rhine-Westphalia, intercultural promoters support the engagement of development policy and migrant initiatives and bring their own experiences from flight and migration into the Eine Welt work[1].
• Regional Structural Development: The agl collaborates in the expert forum "Regional Structural Development" to establish and strengthen Eine Welt issues in selected, including rural, regions and municipalities[1].

The agl is an important impetus for development policy domestic work in Germany and advocates through various actions and campaigns for state governments and the federal government to pursue paths towards a just and sustainable development. It serves as a forum for Eine Welt political discussions and as a voice for disadvantaged population groups[2][3].

Through its non-partisan and non-denominational work, the agl significantly contributes to promoting a global development that is socially just, ecologically sustainable, and democratic.
