Friedrich Ebert Foundation Kazakhstan

The Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung (FES) is the oldest political foundation in Germany with a rich tradition in social democracy dating back to its foundation in 1925. The foundation owes its formation and its mission to the political legacy of its namesake Friedrich Ebert, the first democratically elected German President. The work of our political foundation focuses on the core ideas and values of social democracy – freedom, justice and solidarity. This connects us to social democracy and free trade unions. As a non-profit institution, we organise our work autonomously and independently. In Kazakhstan, the Foundation has been successfully working to implement joint-projects with representatives of government, NGOs, academia, trade unions, journalists, activists and others organizations in a variety of spheres since 1993.
