Description
1) Objective
The German Investment and Development Corporation (DEG) is a subsidiary of the German Reconstruction Credit Institute (KfW, Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau). Its mission is to strengthen the private sector in developing- and emerging market countries through financing and consultancy of companies active in these counties, as well as local financial institutes. Challenges of private businesses can often not be met by finance alone. To address their customers’ specific needs, DEG – via its Business Support Services (BSS) – offers non-repayable co-financing for eligible projects that help companies to improve their performance, growth and developmental impact.
Therefore DEG offers conceptual and financial assistance to prospective and existing customers. They connect companies with external experts to realize tailor-made advisory solutions and help customers to design coherent development projects. The BSS program aims at enhancing customers’ sustainability – with respect to commercial as well as social and environmental best practices. Possible areas for BSS support are for example corporate governance, risk management, strategy, environmental and social management, resource and energy efficiency as well as training of staff or suppliers.
2) Eligibility
Eligible are early-stage SMEs which are registered in a developing country or emerging market. These may also be local subsidiaries of German or European companies.
3) Location
All countries included in the OECD-DAC list are possible project countries.
4) Budget
The related costs can be co-funded up to 50% (DEG-contribution max. €193,000) for a project duration of up to 2 years.
5) Application
Interested organisations shall contact the DEG counterpart or BSS team (DEG-BSS@deginvest.de). There are no deadlines.
