Why a Communication on the role of the private sector
in development?
 The new EU development vision ('Agenda for Change') calls for making the
private sector a partner in development cooperation. The Communication
formulates in more operational terms how this can be achieved.
 The EU committed at the Busan High-Level Forum on Aid Effectiveness
to more effective public-private collaboration for development. The
Communication follows up on this commitment.
 The last Communication on the private sector dates back to 2003. The new
Communication updates our private sector development strategy in light
of a changing world.
 The private sector plays a central role in many areas of EU development
cooperation. The Communication provides a strategic framework for
mainstreaming private sector development and engagement across sectors.
 Interactions between donors and the private sector have intensified and
became more complex. The new Communication defines principles and
criteria to guide the EU’s engagement with the private sector.
3
Purpose and objectives of the Communication
 Update the EU strategy for private sector development support
in developing countries;
 Identify ways to working closer with the private sector in
development cooperation as announced in the 'Agenda for Change',
and confirmed in the Busan outcome document;
 Using the private sector as “delivery channel” for development
in sectors such as energy, agriculture and infrastructure;
 Propose a framework dialogue and joint action with business to
harness the private sector as a driving force in achieving inclusive
and sustainable growth;
 Elaborate on the role of the private sector in the post-2015
framework, and in the transformation towards a green economy.

Strategic areas of Private Sector Engagement in
agriculture
• 1 – Responsible Investment/Land Governance. Strengthening
investment frameworks, public policies. Examples: VGGT, rai.
• 2 – Risk Management. Reducing price and yield risks. Risks are
highest at production stage when values are low. Increased
production and access to finance. Examples: PARM, GIIF, FARMAF.
• 3 – Agriculture Equity Funds. Risk sharing instruments.
Guarantee schemes, interest rate subsidies. Example: AAF-TAF.
• 4 – Market Access/Value Chain Development. 'Traditional'
PSD: PEP, EDES, BTSF, STDF.

Joint ACP-EU cooperation framework for
PSD support: provisions on Intra-ACP
The framework is articulated around 4 Pillars:
 To support business-friendly national and regional policies.
 To strengthen production capacities by providing micro-level support to
the private sector and supporting key intermediary organisations.
 To improve access to responsible and sustainable micro-finance services.
 To increase access to finance for SMEs and catalyse private investments
through blending operations.
National, regional and intra-ACP actions must be strongly interlinked:
 To establish a platform for lesson-sharing, dissemination of good practices
and dialogue with the private sector across the ACP regions.

UNLOCKING
PRIVATE
INVESTMENT
With the facilities the
needed tools are in place
Currently the blending facilities mainly support
public investment projects. However, they
also provide the means to catalyse private
investments – particularly by using more
innovative financial instruments such as risk
capital and guarantees.
• Risk capital can help address the lack of
equity
capital
in
some
countries,
particularly for new sectors such as
renewable energy (e.g. GEEREF fund)
• Guarantees are particularly useful in more
liquid markets where the perceived risk of
certain activities is high among local
investors or banks (e.g. SME Guarantee
Facility)
