PPP Option 1: Piloting market place improvements Test innovative sales strategies to reach into underserved markets (e.g. mobile stores, franchise models) Test innovative supply chain solutions for lower sourcing costs and higher value added in Namibia Test business case behind capacity building programs for suppliers (i.e. decrease in costs outweighs investment into training, mentoring, etc.) Test business case behind workplace programs (i.e. Increase in labour productivity outweighs costs of program) Seite Page 12
PPP Option 2: Building infrastructure Establish intermediaries for value chain optimisation, e.g.: a bottleneck through which products from decentralised informal producers are sourced Access to finance solutions for informal suppliers or poor customers Establish certification systems, e.g.: Quality assurance certification of informal suppliers Ecological certification of suppliers Seite Page 13

General PPP Criteria Compliance: Every PPP has to comply with the development-policy principles of the German Government. Complementarities: Public and private contributions must be mutually complementary, i.e. cooperation must enable both partners to achieve their objectives more cost-efficiently, effectively and swiftly. Subsidiarity: Public support for the PPP measure is only given if the private partner would not otherwise implement the PPP and if the PPP is not a legal necessity. Seite Page 18
General PPP Criteria (cont.) Competitive neutrality: The measure must not distort competition. Private sector's own contribution: The private partner makes a substantial cash and/or in-kind contribution to the project costs (usually 60%; overall volume usually 15.000-50.000 EUR), is responsible for the project s implementation and commits himself for at least 2 years Uniqueness: The intervention has not yet been implemented in the same form with another partner Seite Page 19
General PPP Criteria (cont.) Roll-out potential: PPP Option 1: A successful project must be adoptable by other players of the same industry or be transferrable in principle to other industries. PPP Option 2: The infrastructure put into place through the PPP must benefit a variety of stakeholders, including other players from the private partner s industry Seite Page 20
