Carbon Asset Development Fund (CADF) Multi Donor Trust Fund The CPF concept and development objectives were discussed and approved  by the World Bank Board of Directors on September 25, 2007. The CPF is  aimed at promoting demonstration, strategic, and transformational  programmatic Emission Reduction (ER) activities.
 
 The CPF is composed of two trust funds: the Carbon Asset Development  Fund (CADF) and the Carbon Fund.  This TFP is for the Carbon Asset  Development Fund of the CPF.  The CADF provides funding for the  development of ER assets and programs through Bank work and recipient  executed grant support to client work; administrativeand Trustee  services; and to provide technical assistance and capacity building  support.
 
 The second trust fund, the CPF Carbon Fund, will focus on payments for  ER credits from Progams developed by Sellers in the Facility. The CPF  Carbon Fund will have several tranches, and the information on the  CADF presented here is based on an assumption of a Euro 350 million  first tranche of the CPF Carbon Fund only. See separate TFP for the  CPF Carbon Fund for details.
Municipal Solid Waste Carbon Financing Program The Morocco MSW-CF program was developed in parallel with the Moroccan Municipal Solid Waste DPLs (DPL 1 and 2). The main developmen t objective is to help the Moroccan municipalities in accessing to carbon market while contributing to the climate mitigation agenda . Through this program, the Bank managed Carbon Partnership Facility had originally planned to purchase a total amount of about 4. 5 million of tCO2equivalent over nine years (2012-2020), through the registration of up to 16 landfills LFG projects to the program. Given significant delays on the side of the Project Entity to secure the inclusion of additional landfills into the program, the in itial objectives were revised and reflected into an ERPA amendment signed on March 2017, to reflect the reduction of the program to the sole registration of the Oum Azza Landfill LFG project and reduce the volume expected to be purchased by the Bank, as Trustee of  the Carbon Fund of the Carbon Partnership Facility, to 272,000 tCO2equivalent over the duration of the program (2012-2020).

Tiviski S.A.R.L In the late 80s, the sponsor created a dairy which produces pasteurised milk packs from cows, camels and goats. Tivisky is today the first camel dairy in Africa, its whole production (mainly from cows) amounts to about 15,000 l./day. This average level can noticeably vary, firmly depending on the season. As pasteurised milk can not be kept more than a few days, the promoter wants to build a sterilised cow milk production unit. The sterilisation process will use the UHT (Ultra High Temperature) technology and requires a specific investment. Target completion date is December 2001.     The total production of the whole dairy will amount to about 40,000 l./day.     Tivisky will benefit from the technical and commercial assistance provided by the French major milk company SODIAAL.    The creation of a new production activity will have beneficial consequences for:   -   The producer   : this new range of investment will contribute to strengthening a recent small-sized company, and thus will trigger the need of additional workforce.    -The milk industry   : although Mauritania is a milk consumer country, unlike other African countries, it has not developed a sufficient inner production, and has to import European sterilised milk. Sterilised milk is all the more important in Mauritania as it can be kept without cooling systems. The construction of a local dairy, which would meet hygiene and environmental standards, will support the development of this branch of the Mauritanian food-processing industry.    -Agriculture   : collecting milk from small and medium-sized producers at different places in Mauritania (up to 200km from Nouakchott) will contribute to providing those populations with a regular income. Consequently, they will be led to improve the quality and size of their production.    -Gender promotion   : TiviskiI S.A.R.L. is managed by a woman. Moreover, in some southern areas, the collecting system involves directly women, who own their cattle.
IFC/SG MRT Trade The proposed project consists of a revolving secured short term trade facility, with a significant funding mobilization factor, to support key private sector operators (the international energy trader and domestic oil marketing companies) in their access to finance the import, purchase and marketing of refined fuel products in Mauritania. The proposed project would lend in parallel along with Societe Generale, DFIs and other commercial lenders to BB Energy- the successful bidder under Government of Mauritanias oil import tender arrangement.    BB Energy, an international trading company domiciled in the United Arab Emirates, has been awarded a 2-year contract to supply refined oil products to Mauritania for 2012-2014.  The funding will be used by BB Energy to finance: (i) purchase of oil products imported into Mauritania and related storage expenses; (ii) as well as related receivables against local oil product marketing companies, and major domestic industrial entities which are consumers of refined fuel products. The proposed investment will have significant development impacts as follows:  (a)	Maintain the availability of trade finance for trade businesses in Mauritania. The Project is expected to finance in excess of US$1.5 billion of energy commodity trade flows to Mauritania over two years by providing much needed liquidity.  This will protect an IDA economy against the risk of energy shortages, the risk of being cut off from suppliers as commercial banks have reduced their emerging market exposure.  (b)  Ensuring availability of energy products in the local economy, critical for consumption, power and other energy needs.  A steady supply of critically needed fuel through regular channels will keep prices in check, remove parallel market incentives, and improve affordability particularly for the vulnerable poor and is necessary to sustain economic activities.    (c)	SME Development -  By supporting the private sector companies in the country''s downstream oil sector, the project will provide business opportunities to local private companies involved in transportation, distribution, and retail of refined oil products
TND Project The proposed loan of up to EUR6 million (the IFC Loan) to Tewfik El Najem Driss SA (the Company, the Borrower or TND), leading importer and distributor of food products in Mauritania, is to support the Borrowers investment program and includes a EUR21.3m poultry greenfield project on the outskirts of Nouakchott to supply the local market with eggs, frozen/fresh broiler chicken, and feeds.  In addition, the Project is supported by the IDA20 IFC-MIGA Private Sector Windows Blended Finance Facility (IDA PSW-BFF) to de-risk the investment, as described in the Blended Finance Section. By promoting local production (import substitution) of poultry, the Project is expected to contribute to employment creation and stimulate downstream linkages with related sectors. The Project will also create indirect jobs through business opportunities for local MSMEs in the poultry and eggs distribution channels and service providers. To measure progress against EBITDA and wages) as well as average poultry and egg prices in Mauritania. Stakeholder - Consumer: The Project is expected to increase access to food supplies for consumers therefore contributing to food security of Mauritania which relies on imports for essential foods. The expected positive consumer impacts include lower (affordable) product prices and higher quality local products. To measure progress against these outcomes, IFC will track the volumes of poultry and eggs (MT) sold by the project.

Beyond the project level, IFC expects the investment to improve resilience in The global food supply value chain is under considerable strain caused by the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The pandemics effects are adding to this pressure as input producers and distributors face increasing working capital needs and farming operations struggle with rising input prices. Through this intervention, IFC hopes to sustain the resilience of the global food supply market by supporting a key player TND in obtaining financing. Parallel WBG support to promote risk mitigation, coherent food policies, and stronger safety nets, will contribute to reducing food insecurity and market resilience. To measure progress against this outcome, IFC will track global flood inflation metrics and the supply of key commodities.
