Figures

Covering issues as wide-ranging as combating AIDS and introducing certification, DEG, GIZ and SEQUA have initiated around 3,000 development partnerships since 1999 (GIZ was formed on 1 January 2011. It brings together the long-standing expertise of DED, GTZ and InWEnt). The projects cover virtually all development policy sectors and contribute actively to attaining the Millennium Development Goals.
With so many measures, one of the first questions is related to their regional and sectoral distribution. Where are the most projects being implemented? Which specialist areas are DEG, GIZ and SEQUA particularly active in? Under the heading 'Figures' we have collated the most important facts and figures in chart form for you.

DEG, GIZ, and sequa measures by region as a percentage, 1999-2010

Most measures are carried out in Asia, which is not surprising in view of the rapid economic growth of many Asian countries. The fact that Africa comes in second with a proportion of 25 %, indicates that development partnerships are an appropriate development instrument not only in emerging countries but in poorer countries too.

DEG, GIZ, and sequa measures by sector as a percentage,
1999-2010

Most of the measures are implemented in the field of sustainable economic development. Education accounts for 'only' 2.8% of all measures. This is because education components are an integral part of most projects. 'Other' covers the areas of democracy, peace building, crisis prevention, and transport and communication.

Relationship between public and private contributions

The cooperation of the private sector and development aid not only implies the adequate utilization of business know-how and technology, but also contributes to the acquisition of private capital for sustainable development. The German Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) contributes a maximum of 50% to a development partnership within the scope of the program develoPPP.de. Nevertheless, on average private contributions outweigh public contributions to a considerable extent.

The development of develoPPP.de from 1999 to 2010

In 2010 develoPPP.de witnessed the noticeable recovery of the economy following the 2008/2009 economic downturn. The willingness of firms to invest in underdeveloped and newly industrialized countries has increased remarkably. The number of development partnerships nearly doubled, from 78 in 2008 to 151 in 2010. More partnerships between public and private partners have only been achieved during the year 2000 (162).
