Donors, implementing agencies and DFI/PDB cooperation – The case of Germany: BMZ, GIZ, KfW and DEG

In Germany, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) leads in coordinating the government’s bilateral development policy priorities and positions. These are then operationalised and carried out in the form of distinct interventions by implementing agencies. Since a number of key reforms in the first decade of the 2000s, two main agencies have been involved in implementing Germany’s financial and technical cooperation: the KfW Group (Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau Bankengruppe) and Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ). Within the KfW Group there are three main actors: the KfW Development Bank, as the German public development bank; the German Investment and Development Company (DEG, ‘Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft GmbH’), as the German development finance institution; and the KfW IPEX-Bank, focused on international projects and export finance. Although in a formal sense Germany maintains a sharp organisational distinction between financial and technical cooperation, the increasing focus on blended finance and current policy priorities have meant that in practice the lines between financial and technical cooperation instruments are increasingly blurred.

Enhancing coordination between European donors, development agencies and DFIs/PDBs – Insights and recommendations

With the increasing reliance on development finance to mobilise resources and catalyse private sector initiatives and finance at scale for greater sustainable development impact, a parallel impetus has emerged to foster more coherence and synergy among development actors. The European Union (EU) is at the forefront of this endeavour. Collectively a major economic powerhouse, and the world’s largest provider of official development assistance (ODA), the EU is engaged in a process of combining its various tools and objectives towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). A key means to realise this objective is greater coordination between donors, implementing agencies and financial institutions for development – i.e., development finance institutions (DFIs) and public development banks (PDBs).Building on the Team Europe and ‘Working Better Together’ approaches, the ‘policy-first’ principle, and European values and objectives, the EU is giving new impetus to coordination efforts – to take full advantage of its budgetary and policy frameworks, with a view to strengthening the European financial architecture for development (EFAD). Key elements of this architecture are ‘Global Europe’ – which is the EU’s Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument (NDICI) – and the European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (EFSD+). An important question in this endeavour is how coordination between the roles and activities of European donors, implementing agencies and DFIs/PDBs can best be articulated and implemented in practice. This note draws insights from coordination experiences of a range of European actors, including the European Investment Bank (EIB), the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD), France, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom. Specifically, it synthesises lessons from case studies carried out by members of the European Think Tanks Group (ETTG) for the Practitioners’ Network for European Development Cooperation.
