Omarsa Ecuador The project will expand and upgrade operations of Operadora y Procesadora de Productos Marinos, Omarsa S.A. (Omarsa or the Company), one of the leading integrated shrimp producers and processors in Ecuador. The project involves: (i) expanding the production capacity of the Companys shrimp farm located on Puna Island, in the Gulf of Guayaquil; (ii) upgrading Omarsas two other farms; (iii) expanding and upgrading its processing and packaging facilities; (iv) working capital financing; and (v) refinancing of existing debt (the "Project"). i)	Export-Oriented Sector Development. The Project will contribute to the development of a competitive export oriented sector with extensive linkages throughout the value chain that is key for Ecuador''s economy.  ii)	Private Sector Development.  IFC''s funding will support further professionalization of a family-owned business as it grows into one of the sector''s regional leaders. iii)	Jobs Creation: Omarsa currently employs about 2,200 people.

DCM Pichincha GB The proposed investment consists of an up to five-year financing to Banco Pichincha Ecuador (Pichincha or the Bank), through an up to US$50 million subscription of senior gender bonds for IFCs own account.  The proceeds of the issuance will be used to provide access to finance for women-owned small and medium enterprises (WSMEs) in Ecuador (the Project). The Project will be the first gender bond to be issued by Pichincha.  The project is expected to be consecutively supported by the Women Entrepreneurs Opportunity Facility (WEOF) and the Women Entrepreneurs Finance Initiative (We-Fi) as described in the Blended Finance Section. The Project is expected to have a strong stakeholders impact by aiming to increase access to finance for SMEs and, more specifically, WSMEs. The estimated financing gap for SMEs is US$15.7 billion or 16% of the country's GDP, while the financing gap for WSMEs is US$1.2 billion, which represents 8.1% of the SME finance gap. Moreover, Ecuador ranks 86th on the 2019 Gender Inequality Index, implying that there is still much work to be done to level the playing field and increase access to finance to WSMEs.
Additionally, the Project is expected to have a strong contribution to market creation through inclusiveness, as the Project is anticipated to be the first gender bond issued by the largest bank in Ecuador with a strong SME and WSME business focus and will promote greater market inclusiveness by encouraging other banks to issue thematic bonds of their own focused on supporting WSMEs. With this proposed investment IFC will introduce a gender-themed bond, which is specifically designed to support women-owned small businesses. IFC expects that increased market-wide awareness of this funding method will help demonstrate the commercial viability of financing WSMEs.
Sociedad Financiera Ecuatorial S.A. Founded in 2001, Sociedad Financiera Ecuatorial (or SFE) is a specialized financial institution providing credit and other financial services on commercial terms to micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Ecuador.  The purpose of the credit line is to support SFEs loan portfolio growth, which is a critical element of its development and sustained profitability.  This project will also allow SFE to increase the outreach of its lending operations by reaching new clients during the tenor of the credit line.
Bolivariano SL The proposed transaction aims to support Banco Bolivariano in Ecuador (the Bank or Bolivariano) through a senior loan which would facilitate resources for existing operations and expansion of its lending to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The development impact of the project is expected to be high, as it will enhance the Bank''s ability to support productive small and medium enterprises which will in turn stimulate growth, employment generation and poverty reduction. Bolivariano will be able to increase its outreach and sustainability incorporating thousands of new entrepreneurs to the formal financial sector.  The Project will create a demonstration effect for other financial institutions in Ecuador by bringing best practices in environmental and social management systems.
Santa Priscila The proposed investment entails an up to US$45 million A loan to Industrial Pesquera Santa Priscila S.A. (Santa Priscila or the Company), a shrimp exporter in Ecuador. The proceeds will be used to (i) finance the acquisition of the California farm which entails 1,300 hectares of shrimp farms in the area of Naranjal close to Guayaquil; and (ii) connect this farm to the electrical grid, eliminating the use of diesel power generators in the pumping and automated aeration and feeding systems (the Project). The Company expects to decrease Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions while improving productivity levels in its shrimp ponds due to enhanced stability and quality of the oxygenation. The most significant, expected Project-level outcome is environmental improvement driven largely by Santa Priscilas electrification project which is expected to significantly reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions by replacing energy from diesel power generators with electricity. 
Beyond the project level, IFC expects the investment to improve resilience of the sector through strong demonstration and replication effects, largely at primary production level. The investments in efficiency-improving automation and connection of the farms to the electrical grid will motivate other players to replicate similar practices.
Fybeca Project Founded 85 years ago, Corporacion GPF is the leading privately held retailer of pharmacy and other related convenience store-type products in Ecuador.  The proposed Project is a Corporate A Loan of up to US$30 million, to Corporacion GPF (GPF or the Company).

Omarsa Farm Omarsa (the Company) is one of the leading integrated shrimp producers and processors in Ecuador. The proposed investment will support the development of 536 hectares of state-of-the-art farms in their Puna location (the Project). Export-oriented sector development. The Project will contribute to the development of a competitive export-oriented sector with extensive linkages throughout the value chain that is key for Ecuador's economy.
 Private sector development. IFC's funding will support further professionalization of a family-owned business as the company expands as one of the sector's regional leaders.
 Stakeholder effects. The Project contributes to the improvement of global food security by increasing the production and export of high-nutritionist food. This will translate into an increase of people fed per year over the life of the project.
 Job creation. Omarsa currently employs about 7,155 people. The investment will generate value for the Ecuadorian economy through direct and indirect employment opportunities.
 Reducing supply volatility. Through this intervention, IFC hopes to promote the resilience of the global food supply market and contribute to stabilizing global food supply and prices.
Banco Internacional Blue Bond The proposed project entails a blue bond to be issued by Banco Internacional (Internacional or the Bank) in the Ecuadorian local bond market, which will be subscribed by IFC. The blue bond proceeds will be used by the Bank to promote a sustainable blue economy and management of clean-water resources. IFC anticipates that the Project will increase access to climate finance, in particular blue economy projects aligned to international standards. 

Being part of a programmatic set of interventions from both the IFC and the WB that aim to increase Blue Finance in the country, beyond the project-level impact, IFC anticipates that the investment will contribute to greater market sustainability by promoting a new asset class following and disseminating the recently published IFC Blue Finance Guideline Framework in line with ICMAs Green Bond Principles.
Conclina SA The project proposed is a US$ 15 million A-loan to Conclina, a private, high complexity hospital in Quito (Ecuador). It fits with IFC strategy as it involves a sponsor with proven track record, in a sector with high developmental impact (increasing the provision of health services given the current scarcity of this service nationwide), and with potential energy efficiency impacts. Conclina will invest in imaging and laboratory equipment, increase its hospital beds, surgery and ICU capacity, as well as improve its energy efficiency.     Conclina is the leading high complexity hospital in Ecuador, and the first one internationally accredited in the country (JCI). It also has ISO 9001:2008 for quality management. It has 147 beds (129 hospitalization, 8 ICUs, 10 Neonatal ICUs) and a day care facility (6 operating rooms and 16 day rooms). The hospital has a wide medical services offering, with transplants (renal, cornea, liver, bone marrow), surgeries (heart, oncological, ophthalmic), diagnostic services, checkups and specialized clinics. It is the only hospital in Ecuador for liver transplants and the only one with highly qualified teams for pre- and post- transplant care. (  i  ) Increasing hospitalization capacity: Ecuador has low beds per capita for LAC standards. This expansion will in a small manner increase the availability of services in Quito, especially of complex procedures. As Conclina has a mix of   low and middle income   patients, this expansion will also benefit an underserved population.   Also   as Conclina's main shareholder is a nonprofit foundation providing free medical assistance to low-income patients, the foundation will indirectly benefit via larger dividends to reinvest in its mission.    (ii) Demonstration effect: Conclina's investment in capacity, equipment and systems will signal to other private players in the health sector in Ecuador that these are sound investments.
Pronaca Covid The proposed investment consists of an up to US$50 million A Loan to Procesadora Nacional de Alimentos C.A. Pronaca (Pronaca or the Company). The proceeds of the A Loan will be used to support the Companys investment program during 2020-2022  (the Project). Pronacas investment program focuses on improving efficiency and capacity expansions at its feed mills, pork farms, and pork and poultry processing facilities. Economy-wide Impact: The planned expansion will have a positive impact through value addition.

Market Impact: The Project is expected to contribute to broader sector competitiveness by supporting a leading player.
Favorita Fruit Company Ltd. Favorita is one of the leading conglomerates in Ecuador''s agribusiness sector. The company operates other wholly-owned subsidiaries whose activities include trading and shipping bananas, operating the Fertisa port terminal, importing fertilizers, producing cardboard boxes and plastic bags, and providing fumigation services.     The project involves acquiring and revamping 2,200 ha of developed banana plantations in the province of Los Ríos and related investments for ECO-OK certification, and miscellaneous investments in existing plantations.    Overall, the project will support the continuing growth of a long-standing IFC client that provides business for about 400 independent banana growers and associated services in a key industry in Ecuador. IFC expects to play an important role in assisting Favorita in its ongoing efforts of adopting best practices in corporate governance, and developing and implementing measures to raise awareness regarding child labor and compensation practices amongst its independent banana suppliers.
Otecel S.A. Founded in 1994, Otecel S.A. (the Company or Otecel) is an existing mobile network operator active in Ecuador. The proceeds of this financing will go towards the payment of a new mobile license to provide 4G/LTE services in Ecuador, but also towards supporting the Companys capex program. As the most widely adopted technology in history, mobile is uniquely positioned to drive economic, environmental and social change.  The industry is moving beyond basic connectivity to the use of mobile broadband to deliver services in adjacent sectors, such as health, financial services, agriculture and education. Movistar''s network expansion will have the following development impact:  (1) Increase of access and affordability of mobile services: This Project will help reducing the huge access and coverage gaps between urban and rural areas. In fact, the 4G license payment includes a contribution to a telecom fund aimed at ensuring that 4G technology is accessible for all, including rural and marginalised urban communities as well as educational institutions. In addition, this Project is expected to reduce pricing to regional levels, allowing for an increase in usage.  (2) Improve the Quality of Service: Movistar will likely invest strongly to improve quality of service measures in order to comply with the new, more stringent quality of service standards implemented in Ecuador in 2014.  (3) Create employment opportunities: The investments and expanded operations of Movistar will create incremental direct employment in the country.  (4) Increase competition: The increased competition with Claro and CNT leads to further declines in telephone tariffs and to grow mobile penetration. (5) Data Services: Roll out of 4G technologies will also increase access to broadband services.
