Patrizia Sterenberg – is a consultant who has specialized in the PSOM/PSI Programme (Private Sector Investment Programme, DGGF), of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs/Development Cooperation). She matches business partners, writes PSOM/PSI applications, intermediates between the project partners and the EVD/Agentschap NL, and manages the project results during the two-year duration of the Pilot Projects being implemented. Since the first year of her business set up, 2004, she has submitted several project proposals. See Projects for examples and currently operational projects.
She personally manages the PSOM/PSI projects for the project period of two/three years concerning all the RVO/Agentschap NL obligations the project partners need to fulfil being Result Reports, financial management and payment requests. She has experience in translating Agentschap NL/RVO policies, conditions and (tender) instructions into practical tools for entrepreneurs wishing to apply for funding.
The next LAST tender period has closed in March 2014. PSI has been reshaped into the DGGF fund (Since July 2014). Depending on the sector and country of your project and project idea other funds are available. I currently (2016) also represent several SME’s on the African Continent (Kenya, Sudan, Malawi, Uganda, Gabon, Ivory Coast, Rwanda, Tanzania) to assist them in obtaining Equity, Loans, or (part) Grants. This is across all sectors.
