Project Development Programme (PDP) within the German Energy Solutions Initiative of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi) (Phase IV)

PROJECT OBJECTIVE

The Project Development Programme (PDP) assists German companies which are seeking to enter emerging and developing countries. The markets there are dynamic and very promising but they also present companies with new challenges, such as political instability, difficult access to finance or a shortage of skilled professionals.

GIZ runs the PDP as part of the German Energy Solutions Initiative on behalf of the German Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy (BMWi). The activities are currently concentrated in 16 countries in South-East Asia, south Asia, sub-Saharan Africa and the Middle East.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Acting within the BMWi’s German Energy Solutions Initiative, the PDP supports German suppliers of environmentally-friendly energy solutions in entering the rapidly growing markets in developing and emerging countries. The programme develops financially viable energy projects there and raises capital from commercial banks and private investors. In taking these steps, the programme contributes to the global transition to renewable energy and to sustainable economic growth in Germany and in the partner countries.
