2 Overview BMZ- EZ- Scout Program A short introduction Development partnerships with the private sector Case Studies Solar Energy

3 The EZ-Scout Program EZ-Scouts as liaison officers Advise companies, business associations and institutions on instruments of development cooperation, trade promotion and other programs Keep record of the needs and ideas of the private sector and communicate them to BMZ Institutionalize strategic and operational partnerships with business associations and institutions

4 The EZ-Scout Program Jan. 2011: first implementation of an EZ-Scout currently: 22 EZ-Scouts in action Goal: up to 30 EZ-Scouts Selection of host institutions: 9 Scouts in Chambers of Industry & Commerce and Centres of Foreign Trade ( ): e.g. IHK Berlin, IHK Chemnitz, IHK Hannover 13 in German business associations ( ): Afrika-Verein (German African Business Association), BGA (Federation of German Wholesale, Foreign Trade and Services), DIHK (Association of German Chambers of Commerce and Industry), GWP (German Water Partnership) OMV (German East and Central Europe Association), ZDH (German Confederation of Skilled Crafts), ZVEI (German Electrical and Electronic Manufacturers' Association), BSW (German Solar Industry Association)

5 Advisory Services include all programs funded by BMZ

6 Transport, Logistics Thematic Interfaces natural resources management / Biodiversity Environmental Issues Agri-Business Water, Sanitation Health Sectors Renewable Energy / Energy Efficiency Sustainable growth Vocational Training Labour Standards Corporate Social Responsibility

7 Development partnerships with the private sector

8 What does developpp.de stand for? The developpp.de programme was initiated by the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and stands for cooperation between the private sector and development cooperation. In development partnerships companies and development organisations jointly plan, finance and implement projects. The implementing development organisations are GIZ, DEG and sequa. The innovativeness of businesses combined with the resources, knowledge and experience of development cooperation creates synergy effects.

9 Public Private Partnership-instrument for collaboration

10 Integrated Development Partnerships Africa Facility Fund Fragile States West Africa Ideas competitions Strategic alliances Private partner Sector All companies (local, regional & international) Direct contribution to achievement of Technical Cooperation (TC) project objectives African companies, international companies with a branch office in an African country Sectors of the target countries Ghana, Kenya, Cameroon, Tanzania, Southafrica, Tunisia Companies of the respective country, international companies with a branch office in a respective country Sectors of the target countries Ivory Coast, Liberia, Sierra Leone, (Guinea) German & European companies Term Within project duration max. 3 years max. 3 years max. 3 years max. 3 years Contribution Up to EUR 193,000 Public share possibly more in cooperation agreements Up to EUR 193,000 Public share GIZ 50% Up to EUR 193,000 public share GIZ 50% Up to EUR 200,000 Public share GIZ 50% Acquisition Active acquisition Active acquisition Active acquisition Through ideas competition, GIZ advisory services Public share funded by TC-project Africa Facility Fund Fragile States West Africa German & European companies Supra-regional, often entire sectors, different stakeholders At least EUR 750,000 Total volume GIZ 50% Active acquisition developpp.de

11 Criteria Compliance: Every development partnership has to comply with the development-policy principles of the German Government. Complementarity: Public and private contributions must be mutually complementary, i.e. cooperation must enable both partners to achieve their objectives more cost-efficiently, effectively and swiftly. Subsidiarity: Public support for the partnership measure is only given if the private partner would not otherwise implement the project and if the project is not a legal necessity. Competitive neutrality: The measure must not distort competition. Private sector's own contribution: The company has to make a substantial contribution to the measure that can be assessed in monetary terms

12 developpp.de does not offer: Subsidies for business operations Export promotion Venture-capital measures Low-interest loans
