Project Support

DEG offers its partners more than just capital: It supports investment projects with consultancy services and practical measures to ensure success, in every project phase - also when things get difficult.

We provide:

Assistance in project design
We hold intensive discussions with our partners on all aspects of the project, settle any open questions and help find solutions to problems that might stand in the way of successful implementation. To do this, we draw on extensive country, industry and project know-how. If necessary, we also warn against an investment - if major preconditions are not met or the risks appear higher than warranted.

Together with our partners we find out the right debt-equity ratio, design the finance mix - possibly arranging additional financial contributions as well.

Ongoing support
To secure long-term success, we keep up a continuous dialogue with our partners on the progress of the project enterprise throughout the whole project. This is based on an agreed reporting procedure.

Through membership of the supervisory board as part of its equity stake, DEG can exert influence on basic business policy.

As part of the German development cooperation, DEG, member of KfW Bankengruppe (KfW banking group), has access to local government agencies and authorities. As a political facilitator it can liaise many different contacts for partners to facilitate project implementation.
