VALOR VENTURE FUND III, LP The proposed is an equity investment of up to $25M in Valor Venture Fund III (Fund III) and up to $10M in Valor Opportunity Fund I (VOF I). Both funds are Cayman domiciled, investing in early stage technology companies in Latin America (LAC), predominantly in Brazil. 1.	Increased access to early and expansion stage equity for technology companies in Brazil. Access to VC in Brazil has increased significantly over the last few years but remains low compared to the size of its economy. The seed and series A segment (which Valor Fund III operates in) represents 20 percent of volumes and the series B and C stage segment (which the Opportunity Fund will operate in) represents 35 percent of VC volumes. Within this context, Valor will provide access to capital across an investee's lifecycle through its Valor Fund III and Opportunity Fund.
2.	Increased investee growth. Valor Fund III and the Opportunity Fund will leverage their US networks and entrepreneurial background to provide value-creation for investees throughout their lifecycle. 
3.	Increased competitiveness of key markets through the support of market-disrupting digital business models: VC funds such as Valor invest in companies that often introduce a disruptive digital business model in a market. These innovative businesses can put pressure on incumbents to compete on prices and service quality. They can also strengthen supply chains by reducing the role of brokers and intermediaries, which improves price transparency and efficiency.

WCS COVID Daycoval II The proposed investment consists of a 1-year senior loan facility of up to US$100 million for Banco Daycoval S.A (Daycoval or the Bank) under the WCS Financial Institutions Response Envelope (FIGE). The facility will be renewable, at IFC's option, for two additional one-year periods (up to three years in total).  The proposed WCS investment in Daycoval is expected to leverage on the previous WCS Project with the Bank (Project #43220) and continue supporting the Bank's working capital needs and trade related financing to Brazilian enterprises, which in turn feed an ecosystem of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) distributors and suppliers (the Project). Similar to Project #43220 and in order to further promote gender finance, 20% of the Project's proceeds will be channeled to Women-Owned SMEs. Through the Project, IFC will support Daycoval to increase access to finance for SMEs and WSMEs in Brazil. It is expected that this in turn will preserve jobs and enterprise growth by supporting working capital needs and trade related financing for Brazilian SMEs with a focus on women owned SMEs. In Brazil, credit penetration has been one of the most important issues in financial sector development given the structural barriers and lack of incentives for banks to service these segments. The COVID crisis has exacerbated the challenge, further tightened credit lines and hindered the growth potential of the SMEs.

Moreover, the Project will also help the financial sector increase its ability to continue to withstand shocks from the continuing devasting effects of the COVID-19 crisis and other macro vulnerabilities. Through this project, IFC is enabling Daycoval to support the working capital needs of SMEs during a time of crisis and contribute to the diversification of available financing in the market to include SMEs.

IFC anticipates that the Project would result in improved access to fleet management software for businesses, potentially resulting in improved productivity. The Project is also expected to contribute to climate mitigation through GHG emissions avoidance by optimizing routes for logistics fleet operations.
Beyond the Project, this investment has the potential to increase competitiveness of the market for fleet management software in Brazil via competition and innovation channels.

The Regulated PPAs were awarded in the Brazilian power auctions of 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013. The off-taker in these PPAs is the Brazilian wholesale energy market, comprised of a pool of Brazilian distribution companies. The Company will also sell approximately a third of the energy production under contracts negotiated with large energy users/power distribution companies in Brazils free energy market. EBP has ordered the turbines from top-class manufacturers and started construction of the projects which are expected to become operational over the next 24 months. The Project fits with the WBG strategy of supporting greater private sector participation in Brazil''s power sector as a means to improve its efficiency and long-term sustainable development. The Project will contribute to the development of wind energy in Brazil, which is needed to meet growing power demand, while at the same time reducing reliance on thermal energy and large hydro generation. The Project will also help the development of the poorer Northeast region of Brazil by installing 342 MW of power generation capacity in this region, contributing to job creation and climate change mitigation.
