This chapter studies the role of the German development agency Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit GmbH (GIZ) in the AUBP which implements a large-scale support programme through funding by the German Federal Foreign Office. Against the backdrop of the AU’s diverse bilateral and multilateral partnerships and its ambition to increase its financial self-reliance, the chapter traces the history of the GIZ-AUBP support programme and Germany’s growing engagement with the AU Commission (AUC). Based on extensive document review and interviews, the chapter further investigates the spatial and financial evolution of the support programme which has increasingly expanded since 2008. It highlights the complex entanglements between the AUC and GIZ with regard to staff, activities and work plans in the daily cooperation, demonstrating a blurred line between where the AU Commission’s work ends and the GIZ project begins, thereby challenging the spatial imagination of a clear-cut “inside” and “outside” of the AUBP as well as the AUC at large.
