With the SDG Partnership facility (SDGP), the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign Affairs aims to contribute to the achievement of various sustainable development goals in developing countries.

Working in food security and private sector development in emerging markets and developing countries is complex in nature since there are often different interests involved. In such cases, problems cannot be financed by just one party. That is why the SDG Partnership facility encourages the establishment of PPPs for joint initiatives of private sector development for food security.

The first opening (call) focuses on improving food security and stimulating private sector development in developing countries through public-private partnerships (PPPs). Companies, public institutions, NGOs and knowledge institutions that want to cooperate in a PPP in order to contribute to sustainable development goals (SDGs) in developing countries can receive grant funding from the SDGP facility from 2019 onwards.

Budget

• The available budget for the first opening is € 35 million.

• Per project, a co-financing subsidy of at least € 500,000 and at most € 3 million can be granted.

Themes

• Efficient value chains

• Nutrition value

• Circular economy – agri-sector

• Better work and income for youth and women

Initiatives of PPPs may be eligible for support. SDGP projects must contribute to one or more of the following goals:

The partnership must consist of a maximum of 6 partners and include 1 Dutch organization, 1 local organisation, 1 NGO or knowledge institution, 1 company and 1 government organization. A local government organization is preferred.

• Reducing malnutrition;

• Promoting growth in the agricultural and fisheries sector;

• Creating sustainable and ecologically sound food chains;

• Creating better labour conditions and efficient working procedures;

• Causing an increase in private investments.

• In the first call, PPPs can submit project proposals with one of the following themes:

• Efficient value chains

• Nutrition value

• Circular economy – agri-sector

• Better work and income for youth and women
