PPP, Public-Private Partnership

Public-private partnerships are cooperation arrangements between GIZ and private businesses covering the joint planning, financing and implementation of projects/programmes in developing countries and transition states.
These public-private partnerships presuppose a long-term commitment on the part of the private business rather than a focus on their own short-term business interests and rapid profits. Development project/programmes and private-sector commitment can complement one another and aim to achieve efficient and sustainable results.
PPPs must be compatible with the development-policy objectives of the German Government[1]

Example PPP: insurance model for wind energy projects[2]

  • risk sharing between private companies and GIZ
  • partial reimbursement of costs up to € 100,000, if the planned wind project fails
  • potential applicants: companies within the EU

Example Insurance Model TERNA

  • Alongside TERNA an insurance model within the GIZ- PPP-Programme for project developers and potential investors was offered
  • private companies‘ preparatory measures for building and operating wind farms are supported
    applicants: Companies from EU- Member States
    duration: max. 24 months
    reimbursement: max. 100,000 €
    site-surveys max. 40,000 € (wind measurements)
    wind studies max. 20,000 €
    feasibility studies max. 40,000 €
