The Konrad Adenauer Stiftung (KAS) is a supporting partner for the MIM-ARM CSR Manager Programmes as part of their Sustainable Development intiatives in Malaysia.
KAS's international activities aim to support democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights whilst at the same time furthering mutual understanding, respect, appreciation and cooperation between different nations, cultures, ethnic groups and religions. Our approach promotes a uniquely German concept of the the social market economy, which is a holistic view of a sustainable economy encompassing well-balanced economic, social, ecolgical and ethical development. It provides assistance for self-help in development, fighting the causes of poverty and ecouraging envrionmental protection.
The activities of the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung in Malaysia focus on economic cooperation, rural and community development as well as civic education. For this purpose the Konrad Adenauer Stiftung cooperates with Malaysian organisations either on a long term basis for about six years or teams up with a local institution for a specific purpose such as a conference or research study.
The first programme in Malaysia was undertaken in 1977. More than 15 years later, the Foundation supports each year about 40 conferences, seminars and workshops of its Malaysian partners alone. In addition it publishes books and journals, awards scholarships and organises study tours of Germany.
