Three opportunities - One programme
Several times a year, DEG, GIZ and sequa hold ideas competitions for interested companies. (GIZ was formed on 1 January 2011. It brings together the long-standing expertise of DED, GTZ and InWEnt).
The best concepts and most efficient approaches stand to receive support worth up to 193.000 Euros (as of 2011). There are two competition categories:
develoPPP.topic
This category covers selected topics for which the BMZ provides targeted funding. Each topic is supervised by an implementing organisation.
develoPPP.innovation
The second category is open to proposals from all other topical areas. Special attention is given to the proposals' innovative character. Approaches that show extraordinary commitment or great entrepreneurial creativity have the best chances of gaining support.
These two categories enable the development cooperation to set certain priorities while remaining open to new ideas from the private sector.
develoPPP.alliance
Particularly groundbreaking Develepoment Partnerships that involve several partners, countries and larger investments can also be embarked on outside the scope of the ideas competitions. develoPPP.alliance deals with structural improvements in partner countries that extend far beyond a single company's reach.
Strategic alliances require complex project planning and highly professional management. In return, however, the development impact is greater, which is why for these develoPPP.alliance projects more public funding is available.
