develoPPP IN FIGURESAchieving more together

For more than twenty years, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) has used the develoPPP programme to successfully foster partnerships with the private sector. That is, because the urgent problems of our time can be better resolved and success more sustainably mainstreamed by pooling resources, sharing know-how and forging joint networks. This page contains selected facts about the programme and examples of what has been achieved so far.
