The German-African Initiative for Development and Integration (GAIDI) UG is a social enterprise working for the empowerment of people of African descent living in Germany.

GAIDI understands empowerment to mean working for the integration of Africans in German society, with all the benefits and duties that go with it, so that they are able to live a productive and fulfilling life in the country.

GAIDI also promotes an increased engagement of Africans living in Germany in the development of their home countries and it promotes better German-Africa relations in the spirit of peaceful cooperation and international understanding.
