Description
1) Objective
Through the develoPPP.de programme, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) provides companies investing in developing and emerging countries with financial and, if required, also professional support. Submitted projects have to meet the development-policy criteria of the German government, like for example promoting sustainable economic development, strengthening human rights, social and environmental standards, education, food security.
In concrete terms, this can mean:
- Improving environmental and social standards in supply chains
- Creating decent jobs and improved working conditions
- Supporting women and marginalised groups, in particular, with careers and entrepreneurship
- Implementing measures that contribute to climate change mitigation and adaptation
- Taking measures to protect the natural environment, for example through sustainable cultivation methods, saving water in production processes, and avoiding and recycling waste
- Creating access to health care services
2) Eligibility
Applications are open to German companies and companies registered in the EU, as well as companies in developing and emerging countries (as listed on the OECD-DAC list) in which EU-registered companies or European nationals own at least a 25% share. Any company that applies must meet the following minimum requirements: annual turnover of at least €800,000, 8 employees and three years of business operations. Although associations, foundations, non-governmental organisations, foreign chambers of commerce or registered associations are not themselves eligible to apply, they are entitled to participate in develoPPP.de projects as project partners of the applicant company.
3) Location
Selected countries as listed in the OECD-DAC list are eligible (Africa, Asia, America, Europe).
4) Budget
The company is responsible for covering at least half of the overall costs; BMZ contributes €100,000-€2,000,000. Co-funding is required. These development partnerships with the private sector may last up to a maximum of three years.
5) Application
Companies with an interest in develoPPP.de have four opportunities each year to apply. To do this they must submit a declaration of interest to one of the three public partners responsible for implementing the programme (GIZ, DEG). If the application is successful, they will work with the company to draw up a detailed project plan, which will establish the contribution made by each party to the cooperation. Application phases run each year from: 15 February – 31 March, 15 May – 30 June, 15 August – 30 September and 15 November – 31 December.
