develoPPP supports entrepreneurial projects that contribute to better living conditions in emerging markets 

Are you planning a project in a partner country of the Special Initiative “Decent Work for a Just Transition” that creates jobs or improves working conditions? Apply to the current develoPPP ideas competition for established companies by 31 March or in the next application round from 15 August 2025.

With the develoPPP funding programme, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) supports entrepreneurial projects that make a sustainable contribution to improving working and living conditions in emerging markets. The current ideas competition is aimed at medium-sized and large companies that want to sustainably expand their business activities in an emerging market. Suitable projects related to this entrepreneurial activity and simultaneously contributing to development policy can receive technical and financial support ranging between 100,000 to two million euros.

Do you plan to sustainably optimise your supply chain and thereby improve local working conditions? Does your company create good jobs and contribute to the training of women in local businesses? Implement your project together with Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH in the partner countries of the Special Initiative (Egypt, Ethiopia, Côte d'Ivoire, Ghana, Morocco, Rwanda, Senegal and Tunisia) and benefit from decades of experience and expertise in the field of training and vocational education as well as an extensive network in political, business and civil society sectors. Apply for funding until 31 March 2025!
