The Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH is a German public-benefit federal enterprise. GIZ works worldwide in the field of international cooperation for sustainable development and has over 50 years of experience in a wide variety of areas.
Standards are the language of global trade and the basis for technological innovation. In a world of global value chains, a well-functioning and internationally harmonized quality infrastructure is essential for efficient trade and sustainable economic growth.

Within the framework of the strategic partnership between Indonesia and Germany a bilateral Working Group on Quality Infrastructure will be established in the beginning of 2021. GIZ has been commissioned by BMWi to support this working group through the Global Project Quality Infrastructure (GPQI). It facilitates the dialogue between relevant political and technical stakeholders, including the German and Indonesian partner ministries as well as industries. GPQI advises on political developments, identifies current cooperation topics and implements activities in specific sectors. The aim is the harmonization of Indonesian and international Quality Infrastructure (standards, accreditation, conformity assessment, product safety) in order to diminish technical barriers to trade, enhance product safety of traded goods and promote innovation.
As a global project, GPQI is also active in further countries in Asia and Latin America and is coordinated from GIZ office in Berlin, Germany.
