KfW Development Bank cooperates in Germany with institutions such as the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and at the European and international level, for example, with the EU Commission and the World Bank.
KfW Development Bank is also committed to involving private companies and financial institutions in the various tasks of development cooperation. One form of cooperation is public-private partnerships (PPP). Here, private companies take on a contractually agreed role, in the operation of a water supply facility or the management of a fund, for example. PPP approaches are particularly successful in the financial sector.
KfW Development Bank pursues clear objectives in its cooperation with private companies: the aim is to mobilise private capital, relieve the burden on public budgets and make private know-how available for projects and programmes in developing and emerging countries. At the same time, another objective is the adequate transfer of risks from the state to private companies or financial institutions. Moreover, private companies should also contribute to the more efficient provision of the financial and infrastructure services that are so essential for developing and emerging countries.
In Impact Investment, institutional or professional investors finance developmentally meaningful and profitable measures through legally independent investment funds. As a kind of risk shield, the equity ranges of the Structured Funds held by KfW reduce the risks for private investors.
KfW Development Bank also works with private foundations in certain sectors such as health and education, in the crisis and refugee context or in project implementation.
