FINEXPO EVALUATION
Netherlands:
ORIO
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has assigned the International
Department for Economic Publicity (EVD), part of AgentschapNL
as the administrative responsible agency. The selection of
initiatives / projects that might be supported by ORIO resources
takes place on the basis of half-yearly competition rounds for the
best proposal. The assessment of the proposals, and hence the
selection of the projects will be outsourced to specialised
consultants. 93 The appraisal agent has to collaborate with the
government of the recipient country in order to ensure that
activities will be fully supported by the recipient. The subsidy
itself will be provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Magnitude of portfolio and budget
The programme started in 1998, hence to date; it has operated
for 12 years.
The budget distinguishes between expenditures based on
existing commitments and a budget for new commitments. In
2009 € 180 million was available for expenditures and € 700 M
for new commitments. The budget for 2010 allocates € 300 M
for existing and € 400 M for new commitments. The real
expenditure over the period 1998 – 2008 has reached
approximately € 1.9 billion, or on average € 190 M per year.
The budget for the ERP fund forms integral part of a general
allocation to KfW. In 2008, the total amount of commitments by
KfW IPEX Bank GmbH (of which ERP forms part) reached € 63.7
billion. (no financial data could be found about budget and
commitments for ERP)
The composite loans form part of the federal development
loans; the annual allocation to composite loans is not available.
The programme started in 1993, hence to date, it has operated
for 17 years. The annual budget allocation is DKK 350 M
(approx. € 47 M) including the administrative and financial
costs.
FAD Internationalisation “grants and loans” component is used
for larger projects mainly. Up to approximately 20 projects per
year are being approved. In 2007, € 470 M was disbursed to the
implementation of 14 projects. This equals about one fifth of the
total FAD budget over a year (in 2008: € 2,500 M
approximately).
Information not available
ORET started in 1979, but comparable forms of operation
existed since 1992. The programme was closed for new
proposals in 2007. Hence, it was operational for 15 years.
ORET/MILIEV programme expenditures have fluctuated over the
years. The initial budget in 1992 was €39 million, which grew to
€143 million in 1998, corresponding to the merging of ORET and
