Financial Bank - Tchad This project is an important component of the World Bank Group program to enable Chad''s small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) and financial sector increase its participation in the construction of the oil field and increase its capacity to benefit from the oil revenue investment programs.    Chad''s banking sector is very small, underdeveloped, and deprived of term deposits which banks need to extend medium and long term loans.  By providing a local currency guaranty, IFC helps mobilize regional capital and channel it toward Chadian SMEs.  The development of Chadian oil resources, as well as the future investments financed with oil revenue, is opening a new economic era in one of the world poorest and lest developed country.    This project is one element of IFC''s SME initiative in Chad. IFC already supported the creation of Finadev, a micro-finance window of FBT. IFC''s board of directors approved the subscription by IFC of 25% of Finadev''s sharecapital as soon as it is spun-off from FBT. In the near future, IFC will consider other investments with other local partners. In 2002, IFC posted a permanent SME program coordinator in N''Djamena to increase its effectiveness in supporting local entrepreneurs.
BOP EU Tchad The proposed project consists of an up to 3-year unsecured senior loan of up to XAF1.9 billion or approximately US$3 million equivalent to Express Union Tchad (EUT or the MFI) to help increase its lending capacity to retail borrowers in Chad. The financing package will comprise up to XAF 625 million (c. US$1 million) from IFCs own account and mobilization from other lenders of up to XAF 1.25 billion (c. US$2 million). The project will be processed under IFCs COVID Base of Pyramid (BOP) Facility and will make use of the IDA Private Sector Window (PSW) Pooled First Loss Guarantee (PFLG) as well as the Local Currency Facility (LCF). The project is expected to provide access to finance for individuals to support economic activity and resilience in the context of a fragile economy. Beyond the project outcome, IFC anticipates that the project will support resilience amongst microfinance and BoP finance providers catalyzing investments in the sector by demonstrating the viability of lending to BoP providers and crowding in other sources of international and domestic finance in support of these lenders.
Ecobank Chad Ecobank Chad ("Ecobank" or the "Bank") is a leading bank in Chad with over 20% market share in terms of total assets and over 35,000 customers. The Bank offers its retail, SME and corporate customers tailor-made banking products and services. The proposed project will support the Banks lending activities by providing medium-term financing in local currency. IFC's investment in Ecobank is expected to provide the Bank with medium-term financing in local currency to help it better support projects that require longer maturities than currently available in Chad, thus promoting development and economic growth.
Millicom Tchad S.A. Millicom Tchad S.A., or the Company, part of Millicom International Cellular S.A, (or Millicom), is planning an expansion project in Q4 2009, 2010 and 2011 to enhance its network capacity and geographical coverage as well as to equip sites with deep cycle batteries and test solar panel technology (the Project).  The estimated capital expenditure is $80 million. The company is soliciting financing offers from financial institutions for up to $37 million equivalent and has invited IFC to consider an A Loan. Affordability & Accessibility: Millicom Tchad S.A. targets the mass market, critical for improving penetration in a country where the majority of the population is below the poverty line. Millicom Tchad S.A. introduced innovative promotions and market approaches to spread connectivity in a country with low mobile penetration (20%). IFCs support will allow Millicom Tchad S.A. to continue with this commercial strategy.    Other Mobile Services: Chads market for other mobile services like data, mobile banking, etc, has been slow to develop because of limited access, limited coverage and excessive costs. Challenges to this growth include widespread poverty, a linguistically and ethnically divided population, and a low literacy rate. Millicom Tchad S.A. s investment in its network will provide for wider access, contributing to increasing the development of other services to be delivered via the mobile network platform.    Green technologies: Millicom Tchad S.A. is currently testing an alternative energy program by using deep cycle batteries as well as testing solar panel technology to partially replace fuel powered generators on Millicom Tchad S.A. s cell sites. This will support IFCs on-going work in the green power initiatives.

Emergency quality education support to conflict affected schools and students in Nablus. This humanitarian project aims to respond to the most urgent education needs of vulnerable students, their caregivers and educators that were affected by the recent escalation of hostilities in Nablus. Tensions and hostilities have been rising in Nablus over the past few months with an increasing number of military operations and growing settler violence. Israeli forces have implemented significant movement restrictions around Nablus, including the closure of the city for almost 3 weeks, which has now been lifted. These recent events have resulted in closure of schools, shops and neighborhoods. Restricted access imposed in the city and surrounding villages have meant teachers and students couldn’t access schools, they were subject to military checkpoints and harassment from settlers and therefore, teaching hours have been reduced and in some instances classes cancelled. As a result, the number of learning hours decreased and the mental health of teachers, students and caregivers worsened. 

To respond to the deterioration of the humanitarian situation in Nablus, Save the Children and Tamer have designed an intervention focusing on two pillars provision of remedial support to children who missed classes during the hostilities and at risk of drop out and provision of school based mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) to students, their caregivers and educators. These two components will ensure boys and girls can effectively catch up on their lessons and that students, their caregivers and educators improve their well-being.

The provision of remedial education sessions, following the Ministry of Education (MoE) guidelines, will aim to enhance literacy, numeracy and socio-emotional learning (SEL) skills for vulnerable children in grades 7-9, ages 12-15, spread across 11 schools in the governorate of Nablus in the West Bank through increasing their access to quality education. The focus on grades 7-9 is because adolescent boys and girls are at a higher risk of drop out according the Multi-Sectoral Needs Assessment (MSNA 2022). This was further corroborated by the Ministry and district Education authorities. The remedial education will focus on enhancing children’s engagement in the learning process and understanding of Arabic, math and SEL while improving their thinking and analysis skills which will be reflected in their learning using various artistic tools. Finally, we will use the HEART methodology for the school-based MHPSS sessions for children, caregivers and staff, including teachers and counselors that will be coordinated with CP AoR and in line with their methodology, as well as the provision of MHPSS kits. HEART uses expressive arts to help children – in schools, child-friendly spaces, youth centers, and at home – process and communicate feelings, experiences, or ideas in an emotionally supportive environment where they can connect with peers and caring adult facilitators.
Child Protection and MHPSS responses for girls, boys and families most affected by the escalation of violence in Gaza and West Bank including Jerusalem Save the Children (SC) is proposing an integrated protection and MHPSS response to mitigate the impact of conflict, trauma, and child rights violations including GBV on boys’, girls’ and caregivers’ mental health and psychosocial wellbeing, through ensuring access to a continuum of MHPSS and protection services. In partnership with Ma’an Development Centre in Gaza and Young Men Christian Association (YMCA) in the West Bank, the project will provide holistic support to 2,993 individuals, of which  2,392 are children impacted by the May 2021 escalation of violence in Gaza, demolitions and forced evictions in Massafer Yatta, and military detention in the West Bank. An estimated 5% of targeted beneficiaries are people and children with disabilities, and 50% are women and girls. 

SC and its partners will deliver age sensitive and gender responsive services to address the complex vulnerabilities of the impacted communities. These services include comprehensive child protection assessments, case management and individualized intervention plans, individual and group counselling and other structured MHPSS support, recreational activities, referral to specialized mental health and protection services, cash for protection, individual and group counselling for caregivers, including positive parenting activities. 
In Gaza, immediate protection and psychological assistance will be delivered through the Governorate Protection Focal Points (GPFP), the tried-and-tested child protection and psycho-social emergency response system established in Gaza. In addition, the project will provide child protection case management and PSS support to children affected by violence and their caregivers. In the West Bank, the project will provide child protection and MHPSS interventions, including cash for protection to eligible households, to children and their caregivers affected by occupation violence. 

Through these interventions, the project aims to enhance the wellbeing, resilience, and recovery of girls and boys in the West Bank and Gaza, and their caregivers, who have experienced occupation violence and rights violations. The project will draw on SC’s evidenced based approaches and expertise including structured home-based MHPSS intervention for children affected by conflict, group MHPSS programmes, and SC’s child resilience programme. The project will strengthen parental care and support and build upon the capacity of local organizations with extensive experience delivering protection services in the target communities.
Lifesaving Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) Services for Vulnerable Women in Area C of the West Bank: Safe Motherhood  Emergency Delivery Centers and Breast Cancer Screening. This project aims to improve access to lifesaving SRH services for vulnerable women through enhancing integrated sexual and reproductive health services (SRH), and support the provision of breast cancer (BC) screening and detection through a mobile clinic in area C of the West Bank. The project will ensure the needed provision of equipment (medical devices, medications and specialized staff) for 3 safe motherhood centers of MoH as part of the preparedness plan (MISP) to be capable to fully respond to emergency obstetrics, as well as detection and referral of GBV cases during crisis and emergency situations. At the same time, the project will respond to the identified needs for early detection, screening, and referral of breast cancer cases by supporting The Lutheran World Federation Jerusalem Program / Augusta Victoria Hospital ( LWF-AVH) to operationalize one mobile clinic for breast cancer screening in the most remote and hard-to-reach locations. The AVH established in 2009 the community-based breast cancer-screening program to support the preventive, screening, and curative services of breast cancer in Palestine. The program assists women living in rural villages, refugee camps and in areas where the service not available to have better access by providing the service closer to home. 
This will be achieved through the following main activities:
Activity 1. Support three MoH safe motherhood, and delivery centers with needed equipment and supplies to be able to provide emergency obstetric care per quality standards.
- Build the capacity of MOH emergency staff at emergency centers and also at nearby secondary health care facilities to be able to deal with emergency early pregnancies, obstetric conditions, imminent birth, and provide the basic life support techniques in a highly qualified manner.
- Provide an integrated package of SRHR and GBV services within three targeted centers in Area C including services for women, young girls, and adolescents including people with disabilities.
- Enhance Community outreach on essential SRH service packages e.g. danger signs in pregnancy, family planning, etc. Information on when and how to reach services will also be provided. 
Activity 2. Support operationalization of one mobile breast cancer screening unit of Augusta Victoria Hospital (AVH). The BC mobile clinic will provide screening, detection and referral services in the targeted communities.
Food Assistance to most vulnerable HHs in the Gaza Strip The project aims to provide short-term food assistance to nearly 523 of the most vulnerable households (2,929 individuals) in the North and Gaza city governorates in the Gaza strip which were prioritized based on the MoSD request. The project target will be identifying HHs from the MoSD waiting list or currently on the PNCTP list with a high vulnerability according to the MoSD classification due to chronic diseases, persons with disabilities in the family, and families headed by women. Oxfam, and its local partner ESDC, will implement the project in full cooperation with the MoSD. ESDC and Oxfam will request lists from MoSD with criteria of poverty and high food insecurity, whilst prioritizing those with protection concerns. To ensure that the selected people are those in actual need, all beneficiary HHs will be cross-checked with the FSS partners and will be verified by the ESDC team through household visits using the rUVAT tool and covering 100% of the nominated list. The selected HHs will receive 6 monthly rounds of food vouchers, with a value that covers around 60% of HH food needs. This is aligned with the minimum expenditure basket and the food sector transfer value recommendation per individual. (This equates to 57 ILS per person per round). This allocation will be for up to a maximum of 10 individuals per HH. The food vouchers will be provided in a dignified manner through Oxfam’s RedRose e-voucher system, which has been used in Gaza since 2016. Oxfam has already pre-selected shops for grocery and fresh food through an online prequalification process, which will be clarified by  ESDC once the exact locations of targeted beneficiaries are known. There will be further monitoring at the shops during the distributions. Oxfam will supervise ESDC access to the RedRose system, sign contracts with the identified shops and facilitate the payments, analyze the baseline and end-line data, and manage the feedback mechanism.
Emergency Shelter Assistance for Families with Protection Concerns in the Gaza Strip The project provides for the protection and safety of vulnerable families who have poor access to adequate shelter. It includes supporting 62 families living in substandard shelters through rehabilitation activities and NFIs distribution to meet shelter basic needs and minimum standards with a particular focus on meeting the needs of people with disabilities. The project targets families of people with disabilities who have serious protection concerns due to shelter conditions. In addition, the intervention includes providing emergency support and winterization assistance (shelter rehabilitation) to 38 vulnerable households who experienced significant damage because of harsh weather. This aligns with the allocation strategy objective of " Providing shelter support for the most vulnerable families in Gaza”, and the oPt Humanitarian Response Plan 2022, as it contributes to the strategic objective of “Vulnerable households exposed to harsh weather and protection concerns are supported to meet basic needs and enhance their coping capacity”.

A total of 100 families will be targeted including 210 men, 203 women, 186 girls, and 170 boys. The main activity is to provide cash grants for shelter rehabilitation to address shelter-related vulnerabilities and the distribution of 62 winter NFIs. A cash-based self-help approach for shelter rehabilitation will be implemented according to families' needs. This will maximize the impact on beneficiaries while fostering ownership and resilience of the targeted community. The project complements ongoing activities of MA’AN that support addressing the protection concerns of people with disabilities, and other efforts providing for the protection of vulnerable families at risk of harsh weather conditions. The identification of the targeted families will be conducted in coordination with the shelter cluster and the Ministry of social development. MA’AN capitalizes on its community-based emergency response structure to support the implementation process to ensure accountability to the affected population.
Upscaling trauma and emergency preparedness across Gaza and East Jerusalem through prepositioning of trauma and emergency items, and enhancing the capacity and preparedness of medical staff The project aims to enhance the health system's emergency preparedness through building the capacity of health workers at the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza, WB and east Jerusalem (EJ) hospitals in trauma care and enhancing the preparedness further through prepositioning medical items to be released for immediate response during emergencies.

The project aims to target about 250 healthcare providers (doctors, nurses and paramedics) within MoH staff in Gaza, WB and EJ hospitals (Al-Makassed, Palestine Red Crescent Society) increase the emergency stock of prepositioned items (drugs, disposables, and lab reagents) to support MoH hospitals in Gaza with some of the needs during emergency (expected to cover about 48,000 beneficiaries) and provide Al-Makassed hospital with trauma-related emergency supplies (expected to cover about 27,000 beneficiaries).

This project is in line with the priority Objective 3.1 of the first standard allocation of 2022: “Ensuring access to essential health services, upscale trauma and emergency response across Gaza and West Bank including East Jerusalem (HRP SO 2 amp HRP SO 3)” and under the activity 3.1.1: Procure trauma and emergency supplies as well as increase capacity for emergency response.
