Private sector cooperation
We can advise companies directly on a range of cooperation formats or link them with other German development cooperation programmes we work with.
- Integrated development partnerships with the private sector (IDPPs) combine the innovative power of the private sector with the resources, knowledge and experience of development cooperation to promote development in partner countries and sustainably improve the living conditions of local people. Responsibility, costs and risks are shared by the partners in these joint projects. Examples of IDPPs include the "Carbon Offsetting Rice Emissions (CORE)" project in India and the Our Tea, Our Voice project in Rwanda, Kenya and Indonesia.
- Through our funding competitions "Due Diligence Fund (DDF)" and HREDD Support Fund, we support projects on selected topics that are chosen according to specific criteria. A list of the projects selected to date via the Due Diligence Fund can be found here.
- The develoPPP funding programme also offers financial and technical support, also beyond agricultural supply chains.
- We link you with existing multi-stakeholder partnerships such as the Forum for Sustainable Palm Oil and the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa.
- Industry initiatives such as the German Retailers Working Group on living wages and living incomes.
- Through the GIZ-Unit International Services (InS) as a service provider, we offer the entire range of services to all clients via direct commissioning - from the development of customised solutions to efficient implementation.
InS Service Offer on Deforestation-Free Supply Chains (EUDR)
On the topic of deforestation-free supply chains, and specifically the EU Regulation on Deforestation-Free Products, GIZ has developed the following service offer. This EUDR service offer includes a wide range of services and reference projects and can be flexibly adapted to your specific needs and circumstances. This creates a modular toolbox from which services can be assembled based on specific needs.
Principles for cooperation with the private sector
Our catalogue of principles is divided into general and specific principles according to SASI's key topics. A project does have to contribute to only one of SASI's key topics.
