Bujagali 2 (Refi) Bujagali Energy Limited (BEL or the Company) owns and operates the 250 MW hydro power project (the Project) on Dumbbell Island, on the Nile River 8 km north of Jinja, Uganda. The Project was commissioned in 2012 and sells its entire output under a 30-year power purchase agreement with Uganda Electricity Transmission Company Limited (UETCL). The Project is an important source of power for the country as it generated c.44% of Ugandas electricity in 2016.  IFCs proposed debt investment of up to $100 million for its own account, out of a total package of up to approximately $500 million, will be utilized by the Company to refinance its existing debt. The refinancing will lengthen the tenor of the Companys existing loans and therefore reduce the amount of annual debt service and, in turn, lower the Projects tariff under the power purchase agreement with UETCL. This will make the electricity in Uganda more affordable and is expected to support the governments increasing electricity access agenda in the country. The proposed investment is not expected to result in any change to the Projects physical or operational footprint or to its current power transmission arrangements. In recent years, the Government of Uganda ("GOU") has shown a strong focus on the country's rapid industrialization by catalyzing growth in the manufacturing sector. The spillover effects of a country's strong manufacturing sector cannot be overstated: they include growth in productivity, the potential for diversification into a variety of economic activities, increased value addition vis-Ã -vis other primary sectors and creation of new employment opportunities. In support of this objective, the GOU is implementing a three-pronged approach for the electricity sector of (i) lowering electricity tariffs, (ii) increasing generation; and (iii) increasing electricity access. These are critical steps in increasing the competitiveness of the electricity sector, and by extension the manufacturing sector, compared to other countries in the East Africa region.  In this context, the proposed transaction is key in making electricity generation more affordable, given that the Project contributed c.44% of the country's energy generation and c.65% of its 2016 generation costs, as disclosed by the Electricity Regulatory Agency (ERA). Reducing the cost of generation is the first step towards reducing tariffs for end users and catalyzing economic growth. Furthermore, the resulting tariff reduction is expected to improve the power sector sustainability and is in line with the GOU's increasing electricity access agenda. To this end, the GOU is also considering several incentive programs to increase demand for electricity and generally boost economic activity in the country.
Umeme Ltd Project The proposed transaction is an equity participation by IFC in the IPO of Umeme Limited (Umeme, or the Company), a Ugandan electricity distribution company.   Umeme holds a concession for electricity distribution in Uganda until 2025 and the company is presently approximately 98% indirectly owned by Actis Infrastructure 2 LP (AI2), an investment fund under the management of Actis LLP, UK-based emerging market Private Equity firm.  The IPO consists of the sale of existing shares and subscription of new shares in Umeme. The IPO is the first step of a new development and investment phase for the Company, which is expected to (i) allow the connection of additional customers to the grid; (ii) reduce technical and commercial distribution losses; (iii) improve the quality of services to end users; (iv) through the improvement of distribution network, contribute to mitigate climate change impacts; As such, this Project represents an important next step in ensuring the long-term reach and reliability of electricity supply in the country.
Umeme Capex [2019-2024] The proposed investment is to provide debt financing for the 2019-2024 6-year capital expenditure program of Umeme Ltd. (Umeme, the Company), a regulated electricity distribution company in Uganda, supplying over 1.2 million customers mainly located in the semi-urban corridor linking Kampala, Entebbe and Jinja. Umeme was awarded a 20-year concession to manage and operate the assets of Uganda Electricity Distribution Company (UEDCL) in 2005.   In 2009, IFC committed US$25 million in debt financing to support Umemes operations. Later in November 2012, IFC participated in an Initial Public Offering to support Umemes rehabilitation and development of its network. IFC also provided US$70 million in debt financing in 2013 and a further US$20 million in 2016 to support Umemes 2013-2018 capital expenditure program mainly involving the upgrade and expansion of medium voltage transmission lines and substations and through the introduction of pre-paid meters across its customer base.   Through the proposed investment, IFC will support Umemes next 6-year capital expenditure program, which will mainly focus on (i) network upgrades to enable load growth and additional connections to support uptake of new generation, (ii) safety/reliability enhancements, and (iii) implementation of smart meters to continue improving collections and reducing commercial losses (the Project). The Project will support the growing demand for electricity in Uganda, and contribute to ongoing efforts to increase access to electricity. This will help fulfill the Government of Uganda's efforts to improve electrification rate from the current 27% to 60% by 2027, and complement the significant growth (almost double) in generation capacity expected by 2020 (from 183MW Isimba and 600MW Karuma dams, and small solar/hydros). In addition, the Project has potentially significant indirect and induced effects on value added and employment as Umeme's network expansion plan focuses on zones with high electricity demand and economic growth potential. Finally, it will improve resilience of the main distribution network in Uganda and reduce losses, through adoption of advanced smart technologies, adequate maintenance and upgrade of ageing assets.
RSE COVID CIEL HEALTHCARE LIMITED Ciel Healthcare (CHL or the Company) is a Sub Saharan African healthcare platform with operations in Mauritius with C-Care Ltd. and Uganda with International Medical Group (IMG) as well as investment in Nigeria in Hygeia Nigeria Ltd.      The Company is raising US$6.5 million to finance potential liquidity shortfall to be faced by IMG as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and refinance IMG existing debt to secure longer tenor with grace period that suits companys needs.   The Project includes support from the International Development Associations (IDA) Private Sector Window Local Currency Facility as described in Blended Finance section below. The Project will provide a signaling effect to the market to encourage investment and potential partnerships with global healthcare companies to support businesses struggling due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The Project will help the Company in maintaining acceptable level of operations so as to satisfy demand for healthcare services in Uganda and will also allow its non-profitable programs to continue without any interruptions. 

By supporting its clients' capacity to sustain operations during this acute shock, IFC best positions the private sector to support the economic recovery process, shortening the time it will take for the most vulnerable to return to their traditional income-earning opportunities.

Umeme Capex Umeme Limited (Umeme, or the Company), Ugandas largest electricity distribution company, plans to invest up to US$ 440 Million in Ugandas distribution system over the course of the next years until and including 2018. Out of this amount the Company expects to raise debt financing of up to US$ 170 Million (the Project), while the remainder is to be financed through internally generated funds. The investment is aimed at improving the systems operational performance including distribution losses and collection rates amongst others. Umeme holds a concession for electricity distribution in Uganda until 2025 and is presently majority owned by Actis LLP. The investment program will enable Umeme to boost loss reduction and increase connections and as such enhance the quality, availability and reliability of electricity supply to consumers, businesses and industries, thereby improving the overall energy efficiency of the Ugandan distribution system and reducing local and emergency diesel based supplies.
