The Facility will be used principally to finance permanent working capital (inventory and advances to suppliers) for the Company coffee operations in Asia (Indonesia, Vietnam and Papua New Guinea), its cocoa operations in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea, and its coffee operations in Africa (Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda), with a small portion of the facility to be used for capital expenditures (dry coffee mills facilities and warehouses in Uganda, Kenya, Papua New Guinea and Vietnam).   ECOM is a leading supply chain manager and integrated supplier of both raw and semi-processed agricultural commodities. Incorporated in Switzerland, ECOM and its subsidiaries are commodity operators covering 30 countries in the United States, Central and South America, Europe, Asia and Africa. ECOMs principal activities consist of trading coffee, cotton and cocoa and to a lesser extent grain and other agricultural products, and raising pork. ECOM was founded in 1849 in Barcelona, Spain by the Esteve family which is still the majority owner (92%). The project is expected to provide continued direct benefits to rural populations and a demonstration impact on sustainability. ECOM''s operations provide substantial benefits to rural areas of many developing countries given the company''s ability to   - enhance the efficiency and transparency of agribusiness logistics and  - provide knowledge transfer in the primary processing of products which set high standards needed to meet the requirements of international buyers, thereby providing best practices for local companies to emulate.  External benefits.   Sustainability and traceability of supply are key components of ECOMs business strategy. ECOMs operations provide direct benefits to small and medium sized farmers in developing countries that depend on commodity exports.  These benefits include:   - financing of capital and infrastructure improvements to achieve efficiencies and lower production costs;  - technical assistance to improve agricultural yields and quality;  - crop financing and inventory management;  - providing knowledge transfer in primary processing to set high standards as needed to meet the requirements of international buyers;  - implementation of environmental and social standards and Best Management Practices to achieve international certification for value-added products;  - helping mainstream commodity brands to promote sourcing from sustainable coffee producers.  Sustainability.   As part of this investment, ECOM will be required to develop a corporate level Environment and Social Management System and start its implementation under an action plan agreed to by IFC.
IFC Global Infrastructure Fund IFC proposes to establish the IFC Global Infrastructure Fund (the GIF), a $1 billion private equity fund.  Infrastructure is central to economic growth, living standards improvement, and broader development, and there are considerable infrastructure development needs in emerging markets. Governments in emerging markets are increasingly turning to the private sector to develop infrastructure projects; however, the availability of long term private sector equity capital for such projects is proving to be a constraint.  IFC sees an opportunity to alleviate this constraint by mobilizing private sector/institutional funding to co-invest in IFC funded projects. This Project is expected to deliver strong development impact by: (i) mobilizing additional capital for infrastructure investments and thereby ensuring a larger number of projects are completed; (ii) enabling IFC to invest in more projects because project risk exposure will be shared by Fund Investors which will  increase the number of projects that will adhere to IFC Performance Standards; (iii) demonstrating that emerging markets infrastructure investments present an attractive investment opportunity; (iv) investing in frontier regions; and, (v) introducing large international investors to investing in infrastructure in the emerging markets in a sustainable manner.
GTLP Extn SCB As part of IFCs multi-faceted global financial crisis response, Global Trade Liquidity Program (GTLP) is being extended in order to address the current liquidity needs in the market which is affecting the availability of trade finance funding for emerging markets.  Under GTLP, IFC is considering a total investment of up to $1 billion, which will be match-funded with resources from other development finance institutions (DFIs) and international financial institutions (IFIs) as well as several international banks with an established footprint in emerging markets trade finance.  IFCs premiere crisis response initiative, GTLP is a unique global public-private partnership (PPP) collaboration with 20 partners, public and private, that brings together governments, development finance institutions, and private sector banks to support trade in developing markets in order to address the shortage of trade finance resulting from the global financial crisis.  Significant achievements have been made to date: 5 global deal of year awards, total program disbursements almost $4 billion (DFIs $1.3 billion, IFC $0.6 billion, and banks $1.9 billion) financing over $20 billion of trade transactions financed with zero losses, and over 80 percent benefiting SMEs, and more than 30 percent supporting low-income and lower middle income countries.  Funding for this crisis response program came from development institutions and governments, and it worked through over 200 global and regional banks to extend trade finance ultimately to SMEs.  GTLP provides IFC and its partners with a proven foundation of experience, a partnership platform, and lessons that can be leveraged to develop other innovative solutions to tackle global strategic priorities such as supporting the financial sector, SMEs and agriculture.    The Project is the extension of a funded facility for IFC and funding partners (DFIs and IFIs) to provide trade financing of up to $500 million to Standard Chartered Plc (SCB or the Bank) headquartered in London, United Kingdom, as part of IFCs GTLP Extension. The project is expected to have a significant development impact by increasing funding for trade of consumer goods, intermediate goods, smaller machinery and commodities demanded by emerging market enterprises.
PlaNet Bank The project involves the creation of a greenfield bank holding company, PlaNet Bank (PB or the company) that will make equity and quasi-equity investments in either newly created or existing Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) with the aim of creating a network of affiliated microfinance institutions initially focusing on Francophone Africa and then expanding to other regions of the world.

This project will create a new institution, allowing IFC to broaden its grasp of MFIs, while achieving economies of scale in structuring investments that the corporation could not handle on its own because of their smaller size. PBs purpose is to create a group of commercial MFIs able to offer financial services to low-income entrepreneurs in developing countries.

PB will have an initial capitalization of up to 30 million, split as 20 million in equity and 10 million in subordinated debt.  PB intends to create/control a network of 15 banks by year 5 and plans on owning at least an initial 30% stake in new MFIs while gaining a controlling stake through like-minded investors.
Laureate Equity IFC is considering an investment of up to $150 million in Laureate Education Inc., including $100 million for its own account and $50 million for IFCs Asset Management Company. The investment would take the form of either a convertible loan or an equity investment. Laureate will use the proceeds from such investment to finance growth through capital expenditures and potentially acquisitions. 1) Expand access for middle- and lower-income students to high quality post-secondary education across several countries in emerging markets, in many cases addressing demand unmet by public institutions; 2) Enhance employability of Laureate''s students; 3) Demonstrate the viability of education as a global industry; 4) Increase choice and competition in local education markets; 5) Contribute to local communities through outreach efforts.
Abraaj IFC Global Growth Markets Strategic Fund The proposed projects entails forming a strategic partnership with the Abraaj Group (Abraaj) whereby IFC would commit to a number of Abraaj-managed private equity funds, spread across a number of growth market countries and sectors via an Abraaj-managed feeder vehicle established for this purpose.    The proposal entails transferring to an Abraaj-managed feeder vehicle IFCs potential commitment to the Abraaj Growth Markets Health Fund and Abraaj Turkey Fund which were disclosed on IFCs website on December 16, 2013 and Mar 27, 2015, respectively through separate Summary of Investment Information, and IFCs existing commitments to Abraaj North Africa Fund II and Abraaj Africa Fund III, each of which were disclosed on IFCs website on June 13, 2014, and July 17, 2014 respectively through separate Summary of Investment Information. IFC intends to make additional commitments to other private equity funds managed by Abraaj through such vehicle, which will be disclosed on IFCs website through separate Summary of Investment Information, once IFC is ready to proceed to appraisal stage on those funds. (i) Job creation: the underlying funds will focus on mid-cap companies which in IFC''s experience achieve high job creation rates. (ii) Access to finance: the underlying funds'' target regions / sectors suffer from limited long-term equity capital and debt provided by commercial banks in those markets tend to focus on asset back lending and large corporate or state owned companies.  (iii) Private sector development: Abraaj''s hands-on management approach in the underlying funds'' portfolio companies will help companies improve operational efficiency, achieve national and regional growth, and explore exit opportunities through cross-border trade sales or listing on national / regional stock exchanges, which will further support the equity capital markets in IFC''s target countries.
