Church Development Service (EED)

Church Development Service (Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst - EED) is an association of the Protestant Churches in Germany. By means of financial contributions, personnel involvement, scholarships and consultancy services EED supports the development work of churches, Christian and secular organisations. In this worldwide partnership, EED is participating in establishing a just society. It takes and promotes action to arouse and enhance people's willingness to stand up to overcome need, poverty, persecution and violence.

In 2012 EED will merge with Bread for the world, a campaign of the protestant churches and free churches in Germany to bring about justice for the poor.

EED is a member of the ACT Alliance, a global coalition of more than 160 churches and agencies engaged in development, humanitarian assistance and advocacy and of the Association of World Council of Churches related Development Organisations in Europe (APRODEV).
