vention programmes. In the villages,<br />
<strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong> trains voluntary<br />
health workers so that they can then<br />
transmit their knowledge about the<br />
dangers of malaria and the importance of<br />
the correct use of mosquito nets to their<br />
communities. As a drastic change of the<br />
situation in Darfur is not to be expected in<br />
the near future, <strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong> is<br />
preparing to provide assistance in Darfur<br />
in the long-term.<br />
Capacity Buil<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
In the international development<br />
cooperation, the concept of capacity<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng stands for the development<br />
and the extension of local structures<br />
and capacities, for example through<br />
further trainings as well as staff and<br />
organisation development. In the work of<br />
<strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong>, capacity buil<strong>di</strong>ng<br />
has the goal to strengthen the capacities<br />
of the local partners as well as to plan<br />
and implement sustainable development<br />
strategies. During this process, the<br />
existing capacities or the ones to be<br />
developed in the field of programmes,<br />
finance, personnel and structures have to<br />
be thoroughly analysed and planned.<br />
For <strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong>, capacity<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng is a cross-cutting task that<br />
is very important in all projects. This<br />
concept of capacity buil<strong>di</strong>ng is in line<br />
with the principles of a fair partnership<br />
and sustainable project goals that could<br />
not be reached without it. Capacity<br />
buil<strong>di</strong>ng contributes to the realisation of<br />
international agreements for the support<br />
of sustainable development.<br />

UNITED FOR AFRICA is a fusion currently consisting<br />
of 29 humanitarian and development organisations –<br />
inclu<strong>di</strong>ng <strong>Malteser</strong> <strong>International</strong>. The variety of the aid<br />
organisations taking part in the campaign also reflects the<br />
wide variety of aid projects in Africa. The organisations<br />
within UNITED FOR AFRICA offer professional and<br />
long-term aid for people in need via more than 5,000 aid<br />
projects. The projects extend from granting micro cre<strong>di</strong>ts<br />
through health and education projects up to agricultural<br />
development programmes.<br />
UNITED FOR AFRICA would like to draw attention to<br />
both the suffering and the potential of people in Africa and<br />
to motivate politics and society to commit more strongly<br />
to the fight against hunger and poverty. The campaign<br />
was started in 2003 and was awarded the “Nobel Prize for<br />
Humanity“ in 2005.<br />
