develoPPP Ventures: Next Call
Prepare for the advertised next window; local eligibility and the live application must be reconfirmed when it opens.

Is this worth your time?
Prepare for this only if the enterprise has revenue and a credible matching-finance route. It is growth funding, not a way to finance the first steps of an untested idea.
Ubunifu editorial assessment, not an organiser eligibility decision.Check current availability: Upcoming. Guidance is not confirmation that a call is open or that you qualify.
A stronger fit when...
Privately owned, profit-oriented startups with proof of concept, initial revenues, a viable plan and an annual financial statement. Local registration is required by contracting. Kenya is a programme country, but the next call's country coverage must be confirmed.
Pause or look elsewhere when...
Idea-stage or pre-revenue ventures, or an enterprise unable to obtain the required matching capital. Funding is for expansion in the target country, not unrestricted spending abroad.
What the support actually means
The programme offers EUR 100,000 of non-dilutive capital and technical support, matched by at least the same amount from other sources. A separate investor providing that match may impose its own equity or repayment terms.
Costs and commitments: Matching finance required; not idea-stage funding.
Your costs, time and commitments
The next advertised opening is 15 November; the call is not assumed open before that. Matching money need not be in place at application but must be received before disbursement. Preparation and diligence require meaningful management time.
How selection or access works
Application review and pitches precede due diligence, including financial statements, investor information and a business plan with at least five-year projections. The current conditions also address funding history and the route to break-even.
Preparation and application steps
Get these ready first
Preparation advice; the organiser determines mandatory documents.
- Reconcile actual sales and the first annual financial statement.
- Identify likely matching financiers and distinguish discussion from committed capital.
- Build a locally costed growth plan with explicit assumptions and measurable development outcomes.
Your next steps
- Confirm the new call's Kenya coverage and official application route when it opens.
- Read the current participation conditions and the matching rules.
- Apply only with a realistic financing and diligence plan, not an assumed EUR 100,000 windfall.
