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.

• 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
11
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
INVESTMENTWith 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)
