Recaudo Bogota Recaudo Bogota, S.A. (the Company or Opportunity) is Bogotas Fare Collection and User Information and Service Systems concessionaire (SIRCI) for the new Integrated Public Transportation System (SITP). It is responsible for the integration and implementation of the system as well as for the commercialization of the Contact-less Smart Cards that will support the systems fare collection. Recaudo will also provide real time data to support monitoring and control of the systems bus fleet and real time transportation and fares information to users, bus operators and TransMilenio.    Bogotas bus-based transportation system is undergoing a massive overhaul. The ownership structure of the privately provided transport service is changing to allow 13 operators to take over from over 14,000 owner-operators of buses in an effort to introduce better quality standards, uniformity, transparent and adhered-to schedules and higher safety. The change can only be made possible by a further consolidation of fare collection and logistics through a common platform provided as a service by Recaudo Bogota starting July 2012. The common platform will allow the ultimate manager of the service, city-owned Transmilenio, to better manage this large and complex system that will comprise of multiple fleets of over 16,000 buses running 500+ routes and carrying over 4.5 million passengers daily. a. Reduce the number of buses in the system by about 7500 buses, all of which old, below safety and environmental standards;  b. Reduce accidents and death-by accident rates related to buses;  c. Reduce congestion and traffic gridlocks;  d. Improve labor conditions for most of today''s driver-owners. Reduce working hours from 13-14 / day to 8 per day, receive stable income, social security, health insurance and other benefits;  e. Improve quality of service in the public transportation system of Bogota. Provide predictable, scheduled service, run buses that are of superior quality than the ones currently in use.  f. Increase transparency in the system which will result in better cost and remuneration allocation;   g. Recaudo will make a system of transfers possible, reducing total cost of ridership to all those users of the system that today transfer from bus to bus and pay multiple fares for each destination;  h. Recaudo will make it possible for Transmilenio to manage the systems more efficiently by providing live information on traffic conditions, bus unavailability, break-downs, maintenance schedules, etc;  i. Recaudo will help improve the security in the transit system by allowing Transmilenio to better monitor key stations and by availing bus drivers with an SOS system for all emergencies. j. Recaudo''s fare and recharge infrastructure will take cash out of the transport system, eliminating all the other inefficiencies that come with it - waiting lines, slow bus mounting procedures, pilfering, etc.
BMM Bond Project The proposed project consists of subscribing senior bonds to Banco Mundo Mujer (BMM or the Bank) for up to COP 80,000 million (approximately US$25.8 million) to support the growth of the Banks microenterprise loan portfolio. IFCs financial support and mobilization efforts should send a positive signal to the market, as it would provide medium-to-long term financing through a bond issuance aimed at targeted institutional investors, ultimately deepening financial and capital markets in Colombia (the Country). The development impact of the project is expected to be high as IFC's investment will enhance BMM's ability to support productive micro-enterprises which will in turn stimulate growth, employment generation and poverty reduction. Additionally, the Bank will be able to increase its outreach and sustainability by incorporating new entrepreneurs into Colombia's formal financial sector.   IFC's financial support and mobilization should send a positive signal to the market, as it would provide medium-to-long term financing through a bond issuance aimed at targeted institutional investors, ultimately deepening financial and capital markets in Colombia, and creating a track record for this new issuer.
Enel Col UCL The proposed investment entails an up to US$300 million equivalent in COP, 8-year senior unsecured corporate facility to Enel Colombia S.A. E.S.P. (Enel Colombia or the Company). Enel Colombia is a regional regulated and integrated public services company operating in Colombia and Central America's power generation and distribution segments. The Company is the result of a merger by absorption of the Companys operations, including Codensa (distribution) and Enel Green Power (Non-Conventional Renewable Energy generation) into Emgesa (hydro and thermal generation) in March 2022. The proceeds of the Facility will be used to finance part of the Companys 2023-2025 energy distribution plan, including CAPEX for new assets, climate resilience, digitalization and smart-meters, maintenance, and customer development in Colombia. The Project has an Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM) rating of Good based on an AIMM score of 48. On an unadjusted basis (i.e., without likelihood factor), the full potential AIMM score could reach [64]. The main project outcome is the improvement on quality of electricity supply, particularly in densely populated and industrialized urban areas. Beyond the project, the main expected market effect is to improve the countrys power network resilience, particularly to climate change, through promoting digitalization and automation of the distribution infrastructure.
Visum REIT Project IFC is considering providing an A Loan of up to COP 300 billion (approximately US$75 million equivalent) to Fondo de Inversión Colectiva Inmobiliario Visum Rentas Inmobiliarias (or Visum) to support Visums 2022  2024 investment program in Colombia. Infrastructure development: The Project will improve firms access to high-quality and modern urban infrastructure through new potential industrial, office, healthcare, and retail property developments. Furthermore, the modern industrial warehouses established through the Project can contribute to efficiency gains and reduced operational costs for local businesses and supply chains. Class A developments can be significantly more efficient with lower operating costs than existing properties in the market.
Environmental effects: All new developments will be certified as green buildings. In addition, Visum is expected to embark in a decarbonization pathway under the IFC GRIP (Green Pathways for Real Estate Institutional Portfolios) program, through which some existing buildings will be upgraded to attain energy efficiencies and reduce their carbon footprint and new acquisitions/developments will also have lower carbon footprint. Improving energy-efficiency in the commercial property sector is critical for coping with energy supply constraints while contributing to GHG emission reductions. 
Green Building (GB) Standards: The penetration of GB standards in Colombia remains low. The share of green buildings for new developments is currently at 4%, with an objective to reach 100 percent by 2030. Since 2011, the uptake for GB in Colombia remains mandatory, however, wide adoption of GB has proved a challenge due to (i) limited uptake of GB financing business by banks, (ii) very limited use of GB certification to two regions, Cundinamarca and Antioquia, (iii) lack of technical capacity and human capital in the GB area and (iv) lack of awareness by the government, FIs and leading developers.
MAS EQUITY FUND III, LP MAS Equity Partners, a Colombian private equity fund manager, is raising a US$200 million fund (the Fund) for high-growth SMEs and mid-sized companies operating in Colombia that have regional expansion plans or Latin American companies with operational interest in Colombia. The Fund will target business opportunities in the following sectors: (a) consumer services ? health & wellness, hospitality, education and financial services; (b) infrastructure services ? oil, gas, and construction services, and (c) agribusiness/food industry. The Fund will be created as a limited partnership (LP) to be established in Cayman Islands. MAS Equity Partners LLC, the General Partner, is a limited liability company (LLC) based in Delaware. The Fund will be managed by a group of seasoned professional team organized under MAS Equity Partners Colombia, a subsidiary of the General Partner. The Fund will observe both local and environmental regulations and the World Bank Groups performance standards. The Fund is expected to have strong development impact as it will invest in high-growth SMEs and medium size companies which are looking to expand and replicate their successful business models within Colombia and across the Latin American region, therefore having a relevant impact in job creation and so contributing to economic development.

Uniminuto Project The proposed IFC investment is an A loan of up to $8.0 million (to be disbursed as a Peso-linked loan) in favor of Corporación Universitaria Minuto de Dios (Uniminuto), a mid-sized, rapidly growing higher education institution based in Bogotá offering technical, technological and university education in Colombia.  Uniminuto currently operates through a wide national network, offering flexible, cost-competitive and quality education to lower and middle income students.  In line with a five-year strategic plan (2008-2012) which targets expansion from a current level of 18,000 students to over 30,000 students by 2011, Uniminuto plans to undertake investments over the next 2 years which support the physical, technical, and institutional aspects required for such growth.  The total corporate program for this period is estimated at $18 million, of which $10 million will be dedicated to expanding student capacity in three key locations (Bogota, Soacha, Girardot), with an additional $4 million required for the technology infrastructure which supports the overall educational network.  Other important areas of investment relate to reinforcement of quality and efficiency throughout the system. Increased Access to Tertiary Education Services  Colombia has made significant advances in gross enrollment ratios at all education levels over the past 5 years yet access and coverage for certain segments of the population remain weak. While average gross enrollment ratios for tertiary education are estimated at 29%, government data indicates that coverage in Bogota may exceed 50%, yet remain below 10% in various departments. Additionally, schooling has traditionally been less accessible to students of lower socioeconomic backgrounds. Through its network approach, commitment to distance learning technologies and presence in more than 11 departments, Uniminuto is expected to contribute to increased coverage for students in more remote areas of the country.     Support for Key Productive Sectors of Colombia  In addition to offering high demand professional degrees (e.g. Computer Science, Accounting, Business Administration, Civil Engineering), Uniminuto will continue to develop programs of applicability to particular regions of the country (e.g. hotel management, agroecology, livestock business management), as well as technological programs of shorter duration but high employability prospects (e.g. web design, occupational health).     Support for Public-Private Partnerships in Education  The private sector represents approximately 45% of tertiary enrollment levels, yet its participation has typically focused on the capital and larger cities of Colombia. Under an innovative public private initiative, CERES  Centros Regionales de Educación Superior, the government of Colombia has extended the reach of private higher education to more marginal urban and remote areas of the country. Currently operating more than 15 CERES centers, Uniminuto is expected to continue to participate under this initiative.
Centro Hospitalario Serena del Mar (CHSDM) The Haime family (via its Foundation) will build a 410 bed high quality hospital in Cartagena, in association with Fundacion Santa Fe de Bogota. This hospital will be built in three phases; for the first phase there will be 151 beds. The design of the hospital will be at the level of the best hospitals in Latin America, and will have the latest technology in medical equipment.    The project caters to the population of Cartagena and the Atlantic coast of Colombia, where hospital infrastructure is insufficient, especially for high complexity services. In general terms of medical service (low and high complexity), the Atlantic Coast region has 8.5 beds per 10,000 inhabitants, below Colombian average of 10 beds per 10,000 inhabitants and significantly below the levels of Argentina and Brazil (40 and 24 beds per 10,000 inhabitants respectively).  The project fits with IFCs strategy to support health care in the region by increasing access to high-quality health care, improving standards of quality and efficiency, facilitating the exchange of best practices, and creating jobs for skilled professionals. Aside from fulfilling these requirements, this project also fits with the Government of Colombias (GoC) priority to increase the provision of health services. 1) High quality health coverage in an underserved region 2) Medical best practices redeployment. The Project will apply to JCI accreditation. 3) Job creation for medical staff (nurses, doctors and technicians) 4) Education linkage: The Project will engage with Fundacion Santa Fe''s medical faculty to train and retain medical staff in the region. 5) Taxes: The Hospital is a for profit legal entity, that will contribute with corporate and local taxes, despite it being a Free Trade Zone. 6) Innovation: The Hospital will redeploy innovation medical techniques in the region that are now used by Fundacion Santa Fe in Bogota (robotics, telemedicine).
VMLA - Colombia Virgin Mobile Latin America (the Sponsor or VMLA) has Mobile Virtual Network Operator (MVNOs) licenses in Chile, Colombia, Mexico and Peru, and has filed for license in Uruguay, Bolivia, Brazil and Argentina.    IFC will be providing a financial package of up to US$14 million to fund Virgin Mobile Colombia (VMCO or the Company).  VMCO will be offering mobile phone services primarily to the youth segment, with a targeted offering that will expand mobile broadband usage with attractive data packages. 1) Innovation/Demonstration Effect: MVNOs are relatively new in LAC. Through this innovative business model the whole mobile ecosystem benefits (i.e., MVNOs, MNOs, technology providers, and most importantly, the consumer). The MVNO model allows for a deeper penetration of services (i.e., including mobile broadband, etc.) as poorly attended client niches (i.e. youth in the case of Virgin) obtain a well targeted service offering more aligned to its needs and expectations. 2) Broadband / Productivity enhancement: VMLA offers a data centric service offering. Broadband directly contributes towards improving productivity. The contributions of broadband connectivity to economic growth, and as a kick-starter of other innovative business models (e-health, e-education, e-commerce, etc.), is widely accepted.  3) Infrastructure Sharing: Infrastructure sharing (i.e., including towers) is a key theme in IFC''s TMT sector strategy. The concept behind MVNOs is the sharing of existing telecoms infrastructure, thus maximizing efficency, increasing competition and reducing prices. The owner of the core infrastructure (i.e., MNOs) also benefits as it revenues increases by selling additional minutes and data wholesale. Moreover, the fact of leveraging on existing infrastructure makes this investment a "climate friendly" project. MVNOs have no substantial infrastructure or facilities, so they are unlikely to create E&S risk.  4) Availability, Affordability & inclusion of underserved markets: MVNO contributes to expending the reach of underserved population segments, lowering the cost and increasing competition in mobile telephony. 5) Youth: VMLA directly targets the youth segment. Youth in general have a lower purchasing power than other population segments, and thus, a targeted and relevant service offer contributes directly to attending this segment''s needs.
Transambiental Transambiental S.A. or the Company is one of the three bus operator concessionaires for the new integrated mass public transport system (SITM) of the city of Cartagena, Transcaribe. Transcaribe SITM and Transambiental are expected to start operations in the last quarter of 2015, and will improve the quality of public service for more than 1 million people.    Transambiental is a greenfield project that will involve the provision and operation of a fleet of 212 buses under predetermined quality standards. In addition, Transambiental will also be responsible of funding the trust (FUDO) that will be in charge of acquiring and scrapping the existing bus fleet of the city. Transambiental was awarded a concession contract of December 1st 2014. The term of the contract will depend on whichever of two events occur first: i) Expected Operation Revenues of US$369 million (COP$865,700mm) as proposed in the bid, or, ii) 19.5 years after the start of the operation. The Project will directly support the: (i) upgrade the bus fleet by disposing of old vehicles that operate below safety and environmental standards and introducing new ones; (ii)streamline the operations through route improvements and schedule optimizations which will in turn help to reduce traffic congestion; (iii) improve labor conditions by formalizing employment and reducing working hours as well as making available employment opportunities with social security benefits; (iv) reduce Co2 emissions generated by reduction of the bus fleet and more environmentally friendly fuel as buses will run on natural gas; and, (v) improve the quality of the infrastructure services provided through the top of the line buses, that include air conditioning systems, which is a luxury enjoyed by a small portion of the population.
DCM Kandeo COF The Project consists of an IFC investment of up to US$20 million in Kandeo 3D (the Fund), a regional credit opportunity fund (COF) with a target size of US$150 million. The purpose of the Fund is to provide longer-term senior loans to, and invest in bond issuances by, underserved Middle Market Enterprises (MMEs) with growth potential in Mexico, Colombia, and Peru. The Fund will be managed by Kandeo Investment Advisors LLC. The Fund is expected to contribute to improved quality of finance for MMEs in Mexico, Colombia and Peru. Beyond the project, IFC anticipates that the project will result in an increase in market competitiveness, given that it will contribute to the growth of the alternative debt funds market in Latin America.
FCP 4G Credicorp Capital and Sura Asset Management Fund 2 The proposed project entails an IFC equity investment of up to US$40m equivalent in COP (COP$150,000m) or up to 20% of the total commitments, as limited partner in an infrastructure debt fund managed by Unión para la Infraestructura S.A.S. (UPI or the Manager). This will be an IFC follow-on investment in compartment A of UPIs second debt fund (the Second Fund or the Fund). The Second Fund will be earmarked to finance toll-roads and airports projects under the 4G and 5G infrastructure programs in Colombia (the Project). In December 2015, IFC committed COP$150,000m (US$48m) in UPIs first debt fund (the First Fund), which provided senior debt financing to four projects under Colombias 4G toll-road concession program. The Project has an Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM) rating of Satisfactory. The most significant, expected project-level outcome comes from the improved access to road infrastructure and it supported by the improved quality of finance for infrastructure projects through the provision of longer-tenor funding. Beyond the Project, IFC anticipates that the investment will promote competitiveness by fostering the creation of infrastructure debt funds as an investible asset class for institutional investors with a long-term focus and a complementary source of funding for infrastructure projects through demonstration and replication effects.
