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. They use funds from the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) to co-finance feasibility studies of German and other European companies, aimed at laying the ground for developmentally sound investments.
The requirements are: (1) the feasibility study’s content is the preparation of a realistic investment project, which should be plausible in terms of successful implementation and profitability; (2) the planned investment must have development relevance and dovetail with the overall concept for German development cooperation; (3) the costs of the study must be commensurate with the costs of the planned investment; and (4) the study would not be carried out if public funding was not available due to the ensuing risks and costs.
2) Eligibility
Small and medium-sized companies located and operating within Germany and the European Union with an annual turnover of up to €500,000,000 can deliver their proposals to DEG. Important is a firm investment intention, subject to a successful outcome of the feasibility study. The proposing company is capable on a professional level as well as financially to utilise the results of the study and to carry out the planned investment.
3) Location
All countries included in the OECD-DAC list are possible project countries.
4) Budget
DEG provides a maximum of 50% of the costs for each feasibility study, but in any case not more than €200,000. The proposing company bears a minimum of 50% of the costs for the study and is responsible for its orderly implementation.
5) Application
Interested companies are asked to deliver their proposals for the co-financing of feasibility studies to DEG. The proposal format can be downloaded from their website and submitted anytime throughout the year.
