Eine Welt e.V.

What Eine Welt e.V. does

DEAB (Dachverband für globale Gerechtigkeit Baden-Württemberg e.V., also referenced as Eine Welt e.V.) is a Stuttgart-based, registered nonprofit association (eingetragener Verein) founded in 1975 and operating as the statewide coordinating body (Dachverband) for development policy and global justice organizations in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. It serves 180 member organizations — development policy NGOs, local initiatives, fairtrade shops (Weltläden), and topic- or country-related networks — and represents over 400 groups in aggregate across the state. Its work spans five substantive areas: state-level development policy advocacy, fair trade, global learning and Education for Sustainable Development (BNE), migration-related civic participation, and economic human rights and resource justice. The organization is led by Managing Director Gabriele Radeke and operates with approximately 14 staff, with statewide reach delivered through two Promotor*innen programmes (Eine Welt and Interkulturelles).

DEAB's service portfolio consists of educational projects (FAIR macht Schule!, Fashion for Future, Global Eyes, Jugend trifft Politik, Handy-Aktion, Solidarität.MACHT.Zukunft, wir:GLOBAL), the LernWeltenWerkstatt professional development center with the Global Facilitator certification, fair trade expert consultation, lending of educational materials and exhibitions, an interactive Eine Welt-Karte of One World actors, and the quarterly Südzeit magazine. No proprietary technology platform, software product, or AI system is disclosed; delivery is fundamentally human-mediated through promoter field staff, training events, publications, and member services. There is no application, API, or SDK offering, and no data or software business line.

DEAB's revenue mechanics are those of a German membership-based nonprofit association. It generates income through recurring membership fees from organizational and supporting individual members, donations via its Spenden platform, subscriptions and single-issue sales of Südzeit and other publications, fees for lending educational materials and exhibitions, and fees for training and professional development services. Public co-funding of the Promotor*innenprogramme, which is standard for this category of German Dachverband, is an implied but undisclosed revenue source. The go-to-market motion is community-led: member acquisition through advocacy, networking events, educational projects, and promotional programmes rather than commercial sales. Geographic scope is strictly regional (Baden-Württemberg), with no global footprint claim.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Caritas international: German Catholic humanitarian and development aid confederation. Operates at far greater scale than DEAB across overlapping themes (global justice, development education, fair trade advocacy) and represents a comparable, larger incumbent in the broader German civil society ecosystem.
• Brot für die Welt – Evangelischer Entwicklungsdienst: Major German development and humanitarian aid organization operated by the Protestant Church. Shares the development policy, fair trade, and global learning agenda with DEAB but at a far larger scale and with a confessional funding base.
• Misereor – Katholisches Hilfswerk: German Catholic development agency and one of the largest German NGOs. Comparable in mission (development education, fair trade advocacy, global justice) and overlaps thematically with DEAB's work, though operating nationally with direct program funding.
• VENRO – Verband Entwicklungspolitik und Humanitäre Hilfe deutscher Nichtregierungsorganisationen e.V. National umbrella association for German development and humanitarian NGOs. Operates at the federal level across the same development policy and global justice themes DEAB works on at the state level, with overlapping membership base (DEAB members are typically also VENRO affiliates).

Direct peers

• Eine Welt Netz NRW e.V. State-level Eine Welt umbrella in North Rhine-Westphalia. Directly comparable in structure, mission, and Promotor*innen programme delivery, serving the same member segments as DEAB but in a different Bundesland.
• Weltladen-Dachverband e.V. National umbrella for German fair trade shops (Weltläden) — the same 'Weltläden' segment that comprises a major part of DEAB's membership. Operates parallel fair trade expertise, education, and coordination services for an overlapping constituency.
• Eine Welt Netzwerk Bayern e.V. State-level Eine Welt umbrella in Bavaria — the most direct structural analogue to DEAB. Operates the same Promotor*innen programme model with comparable statewide coordination, educational projects, and fair trade support services.
• Forum Fairer Handel e.V. German multi-stakeholder platform for fair trade actors. Directly comparable to DEAB's Fachberatung Fairer Handel and fair trade advocacy work, with overlapping members and a shared policy agenda on fair trade and supply chain responsibility.

Others

• Global Policy Forum Europe e.V. European policy-oriented NGO focused on global economic governance and UN processes. Adjacent to DEAB's political representation and advocacy work — both engage in development policy lobbying, though GPF Europe operates at supranational level.
• Transparente Zivilgesellschaft: German civil society transparency initiative in which DEAB participates. Functionally adjacent — DEAB uses it as a credibility/standards affiliation marker; comparable associations seeking similar accountability branding are natural peer set.
