5 2 The programme developpp.de Development Partnerships with the Private Sector Page 5

6 What is developpp.de? The developpp.de program was initiated by the German 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 projects are financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ). The innovativeness of businesses combined with the resources, knowledge and experience of the German development cooperation creates synergy effects. Page 6

7 Why development partnerships? Private Partner Common goals Public Partner Assurance of supply chains, market entry and expansion in other countries Marketing of products Finding new customers and ensuring customer loyalty Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Improvement of quality and productiveness Improvement of local economic and living conditions Establishment of sustainable supply chains Mobilisation of capital and know-how Involvement of local communities in economic cycles Page 7

8 How can GIZ assist you? Create additional benefit for the private partner - As a federal enterprise with a global network we can offer various contacts to governments, local authorities and decision makers in the political field - Intercultural know-how and local management experience - Sustainable and effective solutions in political, economic and social change processes - Financial assistance in implementing common projects (direct funding) - Provide personnel assistance in implementing common projects (indirect funding) Page 8

11 4 Project Examples Opportunities for Cooperation Model 1: Consulting contract (= financial participation) Joint project but: - The project will be implemented by the private company alone - Cost sharing basis: up to 50 % of the total project costs will be covered by GIZ, up to 200,000 Euro - GIZ will transfer money directly to the private company, based on clear milestones and achieved results (frequent monitoring and reporting is obligatory) - Based on several terms and conditions: - Personnel net costs or manufacturing costs - All costs have to be verified and confirmed by a certified accountant or an auditing company Page 11

12 Example Joint project on: CNC Training Challenge: - Lack of qualified CNC experts - Vocational schools do not offer any practice oriented education for CNC experts Activities of the company during the project - Baseline Study - Selection of partner schools - Supply and installation of software - Implementation of teacher trainings - Handing over of software and training materials Results: Teachers are qualified to educate experts and students Improved employment chances for CNC experts Market entry successfully supported Private company is responsible for implementation of whole project GIZ will cover up to 50 % of the project costs, maximum Euro 200,000 Page 12

13 Opportunities for Cooperation Model 2: Cooperation agreement (= participation in terms of GIZ know-how) Joint project, but: - the project will be implemented by the private company and GIZ - based on clear working packages, each partner is implementing own working packages, on own costs and on own responsibility - GIZ can cover up to 50 % of the total project volume, up to a maximum of 200,000 Euro: - Renting offices, organising and conducting workshops, contracting experts, networking, procurement etc. - Joint reporting and monitoring activities - Private company must submit a report on its own spending of the costs Page 13

15 Further Project Examples Development of education and training programmes and curricula: Demand / labor market oriented training with the involvement of prospective employers, e.g. elaborating and introducing new curricula for training. Elaborating and introduction of a new curricula for a three years education for mechatronics Transfer of technology: networking with political and private decision makers, organizing and conducting workshops, awareness and PR campaigns Optimisation of value creation / supply chain: Improvements to secure the success of a market-based value chain, e.g. traceability system in the toy industry Introduction of nationwide guidelines and standards: e.g. new water standard for the food and beverage industry, guidelines for carsharing, guidelines for publicly funded biogas plants Introduction of internal or national improvements: e.g. introduction of occupational health and safety arrangements: elaborating an 8 months training manual for health and safety officer in the mining industry. But we are open to discuss any other idea.. Page 15

16 General Conditions Compatibility with the German BMZ development policy guidelines Complementarity: the cooperation enables both partners to achieve their respective objectives more quickly, more efficiently and more cost-effectively Subsidiarity: the project is not required by law, the private partner would not implement the project without the public partner Sustainability: the project must be embedded in the long term sustainable involvement of the company in the country. Private Sector participation: the private sector is responsible for a minimum of 50 % of the project costs. Commercial interest: The company must demonstrate a clear commercial interest in the project. Page 16
