DEG develoPPP

DEG develoPPP is a German development program co-financing private sector investments in developing and emerging countries. It provides grants and expert advisory to companies implementing sustainable projects for local economic and social benefits. Offering develoPPP Classic for established firms and develoPPP Ventures for young companies, it mobilizes private capital for development impact.

Established by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) around 25 years ago, develoPPP arose from the insight that private sector involvement is vital for sustainable development. The initiative supports companies investing responsibly in challenging markets, addressing funding gaps. DEG, the German Development Finance Institution and KfW subsidiary, is a key implementing partner.

The program serves private companies, from established enterprises to early-stage ventures, committed to impactful projects in developing economies. Partners leverage develoPPP’s support for business models fostering job creation, skills development, and infrastructure. Its vision is to drive inclusive economic growth and enhance global living conditions via private sector contributions.
