Information and services for returning development workers
The Association of German Development Services (Arbeitsgemeinschaft der Entwicklungsdienste e.V., AGdD) is the umbrella association of the seven development service agencies, which are recognised by the federal government and send out professional development workers in accordance with the Development Workers Act. Through the Reintegration Programme, we support (returning) professional development workers and their accompanying partners through the process of developing a new career and during their reorientation.
We offer advisory services, counselling and networking for professionals and their accompanying partners.
Our journal transfer – English editions
Our magazine transfer is usually published two to three times a year. The following issues are published in English.
Development Service and Health
As a professional development service worker or an accom-panying family member you gain a lot of new experiences and enriching impressions. But some experiences can also be stressful. Returning home can be difficult too.
It is important to pay attention to mental stress, to take good care of yourself, and to seek help, if you need it.
In our flyer "Development Service and Health" you will find tips "How to look after yourself and where you can get help with psychological stress."
