The Deutsch-Afrikanisches Zentrum e.V. (DAZ) was founded in 2007. The DAZ actively promotes better understanding between Africans and Germans.

The DAZ sees diversity as an opportunity. It focuses its work on uncovering the potential of Africans and Germans, promoting skills and making them usable for society, as well as networking similar initiatives and organizations.

Another focus of the DAZ's work is to work with Africans in Germany to support and promote development in their home countries.

With its series "Africa Country Portraits" in cooperation with the VHS Bonn, the DAZ makes an important contribution to conveying a differentiated image of Africa. A variety of cultural events and activities promote encounters between Africans and Germans and thus international understanding.
