iCCM+: Access to quality health service for childhood diseases and MNC in 14 districts of Uganda Integrated Community Case Management (iCCM) brings healthcare closer to communities by training members of Village Health Teams (VHTs) to assess symptoms and treat illnesses. It also reduces the need for a patient to visit a health facility, making it easier for children to get the care they need when they are sick. Malaria Consortium?s substantial experience in supporting iCCM initiatives across Africa has proven that this is an effective approach in reducing mortality and morbidity in young children. The iCCM+ project, funded by Comic Relief, will expand upon the successes and lessons learnt of previous iCCM programmes to reduce under-five deaths through a combination of routine iCCM and selected maternal and neonatal care interventions, deepening gains in malaria and childhood disease control in 14 districts.

The Project consists of a repeat investment for an IFC guarantee to fund MLAs growing lease portfolio. The proposed project is expected to have a high development impact in the following areas:  

Access to finance for SMEs: The project will provide SMEs with increased access to finance, many for the first time in the formal financial sector. 

Increased private sector competition in the financial sector: The project is expected to promote growth and increase competition in the financial sector as the leasing industry grows and brings new players and instruments into the market.

Algerian Cement Company - Description and Purpose  :       The project is to construct and operate Algeria''s first private sector cement plant with total capacity of 2.0 million tons per year (tpy). The project company, Algerian Cement Company (ACC) will use locally available raw materials and inexpensive energy sources to produce and distribute cement in the M''Sila and neighboring region.    - Development Impact:       The benefits of the project to the economy arise from:      - tax revenues generated from the  corporate tax levied on the company;    - employment generation and incremental earnings of labor - 1,800 semi- and un-skilled jobs will be created during the life of the project at a wage premium of 30% above the prevailing market wage; and   - consumer surplus resulting from the projects ability to drive cement market prices down as low which will greatly benefit consumers who are presently paying high cement prices.      Moreover, the venture is expected to have substantial spill-over economic benefits, such as attracting other industries to MSila and helping create a more vibrant building materials and construction industry in the country.     - IFC''s Role  :    First, IFC will provide long-term financing, which is unavailable in Algeria. Second, IFC has played a catalytic role in mobilizing financing and guarantees from other international as well as local financial institutions. Third, IFC will play a major developmental role by ensuring that the project meets World Bank environmental and safety guidelines. The investment will serve as a model in pollution and dust emission control in Algeria and will be the first cement plant in the country to meet the latest most stringent international environmental guidelines.  Finally, IFCs presence in a major project involving a foreign sponsor also supports the Algerian governments efforts to attract foreign investment in the non-oil sectors.
Algerie Leasing Project Description   :  The project consists of the establishment of Algérie Leasing (AL, the Company) as the first private leasing company in Algiers, Algeria, to offer medium term lease finance mainly to Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in various sectors of the economy, including the transport, construction, agribusiness, and other sectors.   AL will be established with a proposed share capital of US$10 million equivalent.  The equivalent of a total funding of US$10 million for the Company''s lease operations is expected to be provided in local currency by the Caisse Nationale d''Epargne et de Prévoyance (CNEP), with a partial garantee from IFC (about 40%).     Developmental Impact:     The developmental impact of the project is expected to be broad and far-reaching.  First, the project will provide SMEs with increased access to finance, many for the first time in the formal financial sector.  Currently, most SME investment requirements are not met by the existing commercial banks which require heavy collateral and overburdening administration.  Projected AL leases over US$500 million are expected to help finance the expansion and modernisation of SMEs in  various productive sectors.  This would in turn help boost  growth and  job creation.  Second,  the project is expected to promote growth and increase competition in the financial sector as the leasing industry grows and brings new players and instruments into the market. Third, the project will introduce new technology, know-how and skills transfer. Tunisie Leasing will provide external and internal training to its staff in the various areas of leasing.  Fourth, the project will support Algeria''s economic diversification by financing economic activities in non-oil related sectors.       IFC Role   :  IFC has been a supporter of establishing leasing as an appropriate vehicle for addressing the financing needs of SMEs in Algeria and has assisted the World Bank in drafting the country''s leasing regulations.  IFC has approached Tunisie Leasing to act as the technical partner and has put ABC in contact with Tunisie Leasing as the foreign technical partner.  IFC is also playing a key role in structuring the project and securing the agreement of all parties by truly assuming its role as honest broker.  Furthermore, IFCs involvement is providing comfort to the Government, as well as to both local and foreign investors.  IFC is expected to continue to play a role in further developing the Company and the leasing sector.  Lastly, this project will also have the added benefit of expanding and developing the Algerian financial markets, especially through non-bank financial institutions.
