HCFC phase-out management plan (stage I) HCFC phase-out management plan (stage I) for the activities in the refrigeration servicing sector including phase-out of HCFC-141b used for flushing and project monitoring.  The objective of stage I of the HPMP for Algeria is to meet the Montreal Protocol#s HCFC control targets, up to and including the reduction in 2015, resulting in the phase-out of 14.48 ODP tonnes  of HCFCs. In line with the overarching strategy, the Government of Algeria proposes to issue import quotas on a yearly basis in accordance with the phase-out schedule of the Montreal Protocol; ban imports of HCFC-141b in bulk, and freeze the import of HCFC-141b-based pre-blended polyols used in manufacturing of foam; prohibit venting off HCFC-22 during servicing and ban the import of new HCFC-22-based refrigeration and air-conditioning equipment. Stage I of the HPMP includes conversion of one foam manufacturing enterprise and one assembler of air-conditioning equipment, the phase-out of HCFC-141b used for servicing refrigeration equipment, enforcement and public awareness activities.

CONVERSION FOR CFC-11 TO HCFC-141B AND CFC-12 TO HCFC-134A TECHNOLOGY IN THE LAST GROUP OF COMMERICAL REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURES (REFRIGERATION SECTOR TERMINAL PROJECT) CONVERSION FOR CFC-11 TO HCFC-141B AND CFC-12 TO HCFC-134A TECHNOLOGY IN THE LAST GROUP OF COMMERICAL REFRIGERATOR MANUFACTURES (REFRIGERATION SECTOR TERMINAL PROJECT)
HCFC phase-out management plan (stage I, first tranche) (conversion from HCFC-22 in the manufacture of room air conditioners at Condor) The project aim is to phase out 150.20 mt (8.26 ODP tonnes) of HCFC-22 used in the manufacturing of split system room air conditioners for domestic and commercial applications at Condor, in two lines: one for the indoor (fan coil) unit and one for the outdoor (condensing) unit. The enterprise mainly assembles imported kits and charges them with HCFC-22 after undergoing a cleaning and a vacuuming operation. Condor, a locally-owned enterprise established in 2002, manufactures five different capacity models. Condor has about 50 per cent of the locally manufactured units or about 35 per cent of the total market including imports of assembled units. Condor was chosen for converting to a non-HCFC technology given its market share, which will facilitate the transformation of the room air conditioner market in the country. The other local manufacturers will be converted in stage II.
HCFC phase-out management plan (stage III) Preparation of a HCFC phase-out management plan (stage II) for the air-conditioning and foam sector with the inclusion of an overarching national strategy.

Zulekha Hospitals Zulekha Hospitals Group, UAE (Zulekha Hospitals or the Company), a UAE based healthcare group with current operations in Dubai and Sharjah in the UAE, is proposing to expand (the Project) as follows:   i)	expand its current hospital facilities in Sharjah, UAE   ii)	expand in India by setting up a green field tertiary care care hospital    Zulekhas expansion in the UAE is funded by internal accruals, while the expansion in India is proposed to be funded by a financing package from IFC. - Delivery of quality healthcare services to an IDA country: The access to healthcare in non-metro cities of India, such as Nagpur (where Zulekha Hospitals is setting up the project) is low, when compared to the regional and global standards.   - Strong demonstration effects on the healthcare industry: The Project will demonstrate best-practice standards in clinical and managerial aspects in a smaller city such as Nagpur, which current lacks adequate thresholds in these areas.   - Increase in South-South investment: As with the IFC investments in other MENA based healthcare operators, Zulekha Hospitals currently has a strong brand name and market presence in the UAE. The Company''s investment into India will foster much needed South South investment into the country (especially into a non-metro city of India) where there is significant and unmet demand for quality healthcare services.   - Increasing employment: The Project will increase employment in emerging markets, especially in non-metro cities where there is widespread unemployment, and available employable resources.   - Support to women: IFC investment in the Project will support a business promoted and managed by women. In addition, the business also has a high potential to employ women across the healthcare sector from doctors to paramedics staff to administration and support staff.Delivery of quality healthcare services to an IDA country

Through its proposed investment, IFC will support the expansion and growth of GTN's low-cost electronic trade execution and market data platform, linking international investors to local exchanges in EMs and fostering trade flow across EMs and between advanced economies and EMs. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that this investment will result in greater capital markets integration, by more broadly contributing to the ongoing digitization of EM capital markets and the removal of barriers to cross-border financial trading for both EM and advanced market brokers and investors.
ENSEC MBS Project The project involves an IFC investment of up to $45 million and Technical Assistance (TA) to support Emirates National Securitization Corporation (ENSEC or the company).  The proposed investment consists of:

-  up to $42 million of credit enhancement (CE) to support ENSECs Residential Mortgage-Backed Securities (RMBS) program;
-  an IFC minority equity investment of up to $3 million; and 
 - a TA program that will focus on improvements of ENSECs corporate governance. The securitization market in the UAE has not yet developed.  The success of this project is expected to lead to a stepping up in the development of UAEs/GCCs overall securitization program as well as the in sophistication of its capital markets.  The project is expected not only to increase expertise among local capital markets players but also to increase investor confidence.  The success of the project will also lend credibility to ENSEC and hence assist it in achieving its other developmental and business goals including, securitization of assets other than mortgages.

The project will support the development of the mortgage market in the UAE and neighboring countries, by increasing funds available for long-term consumer lending, by freeing up the originator companies balance sheets to originate more housing loans, and enabling them to extend the tenor of mortgage products.  It will increase the availability of Islamic compliant products as both the underlying assets and the notes to be issued by the securitization structure to investors are Sharia compliant.  This will attract regional and international investors seeking Islamic products.
