Austrian Team

Our framework for sustainable aid

Since 2026, Menschen für Menschen Austria has had a new governance structure that is deliberately streamlined and effective, positioning the organization efficiently for the future. Menschen für Menschen is represented in Austria, Germany, and Belgium by separate, independent organizations. The projects in Ethiopia are managed by the Project Coordination Office (PCO) in Addis Ababa. This office is operated by the German organization and funded by all three countries.

The Austrian association currently funds work in five project regions as well as additional infrastructure projects, such as the construction of schools or water supply systems. A team of eleven full-time staff members works in Vienna. The volunteer board of directors leads and represents the association, performs supervisory duties, and determines the association’s strategic direction. Operational implementation is the responsibility of the executive management.
