Established in 1966, the foundation is affiliated with the German political party, Christian Social Union (CSU) and named after one of its founders (Hanns Seidel, 1901-1966). In Germany, several civic education and policy research institutes work under the foundation. An institute for international cooperation was established in 1977 and embarked on international development projects, starting in Togo, Africa.
Since 1983, in collaboration with the Chinese Ministry of Education, the foundation has implemented a wide range of vocational and educational training projects, establishing twelve vocational and educational service centers. Fields covered have included construction trades; mechanical, automotive and electrical engineering; brewing; economics and administration, and agriculture. In addition, the foundation has supported teacher training and management training.
According to a recent agreement between the Ministry of Education and the foundation, future cooperation in China will centre on knowledge and skills transfer to western provinces.
In common with other foundations affiliated to political parties in Germany, the Hanns Siedel Foundation receives an annual appropriation from the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development. In China, the foundation has been contracted to implement vocational education projects that are part of the German government’s bilateral cooperation programme with China.
