About Us
Our History
How it all started
Zed Tamanga was founded in 2018. What drove us to start the non-profit organization was the desire to conceive development cooperation differently. We wanted to use other formats, to think more entrepreneurially, to try out new things, to address and involve other target groups – especially entrepreneurs. We were also united by the frustration about a certain lack of results in development cooperation. At the very least, development cooperation (and we at Zed Tamanga as part of it) have to ask ourselves about the cost-benefit ratio. In particular in view of the enormous sums already invested over decades.
What we Stand for
We work with entrepreneurs and support organizations across all development stages. Our approach to economic cooperation is rooted in entrepreneurial thinking. Through it, we facilitate quick and efficient access to the crucial resources for sustainable growth: financial support, training, mentoring and network development.
