Private Sector Investment programme

The Private Sector Investment programme (PSI) is the successor of PSOM (Programme Cooperation Emerging Markets) and provides 50% grant funding for investment projects in emerging markets.

The maximum project budget is € 1.5 million of which 50% is grant-funded by PSI. The balance has to be contributed by the project partners. PSI is administered by EVD, an agency of the Netherlands Government. The program is very similar to PSOM.
