The Triple Win Project, coordinated by Germany's Development Ministry (GIZ), aims to match a surplus of qualified experts in countries of origin with unfilled vacancies in Germany. Participating third countries are Serbia, Bosnia and Herzegovina and Philippines. The term "triple win" refers to the benefits for the migrant and the labour market in the country of origin, the shortage sector in the country of destination and the development stimulus received by the country of origin through remittances. The Federal Employment Agency (BA) International Placement Services (ZAV) and GIZ have established a joint project to place 2,000 qualified nurses with German companies by 2014. A previous pilot (2011-2012) placed around 80 nurses with German employers and was a success.
