SEAF Caribbean SME Growth Fund IDB Invest is considering a US$10 million equity investment in the SEAF Caribbean SME Growth Fund (“the Fund”), an impact investment fund providing growth capital to Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”) in the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean Common Market (“CARICOM”). In addition, IDB Invest in its capacity as administrator of the Canadian Climate Fund for the Private Sector in the Americas – Phase II (C2F) will provide a loan of up to ten million dollars (US$10,000,000) to a SEAF controlled SPV to on-lend to the Fund’s portfolio companies to finance climate resiliency and climate mitigation projects. The COVID-19 crisis has further reduced much needed investment capital for the Caribbean countries, so the Fund is expected to have a significant impact in its focus region. With a target size of US$100 million, the Fund will invest in 8-12 SMEs, seeking market-based financial returns alongside measurable impact, particularly quality job growth and improved gender, governance, and environmental practices. The Fund had its first close of US$35 million in October 2019, fully funded by private sector investors. The Fund is managed by SEAF Caribbean Management (“SEAF Caribbean”), a local subsidiary of Small Enterprise Assistance Funds (“SEAF”), a global impact investing group with a 30-year track record of supporting SMEs in emerging and transition markets.

CBC Solar PV Project This project consists of a senior secured loan of up to US$1,000,000. The objective of the loan is to fund the installation of a rooftop solar PV system at CBC's main bottling factory in Nassau, Bahamas. The project will result in the addition of 1,153 kW of solar photovoltaic panels on the rooftop of CBC's factory. The total project cost is of approximately US$1,800,000, which is the total cost of the solar PV system. The system will be one of the first and the largest solar PV installations in Bahamas and will reduce CO2 emissions by 24,530 tons over 25 years of operation, by displacing electricity from the grid.

Granja Tres Arroyos Granja Tres Arroyos is an Argentine-owned company that breeds and raises chickens. Its production has grown 84% over the past five years; in 2008 it processed some 375,000 chickens a day.
