Bridging the Gaps: Regional Networks ITPC will host three (3) regional treatment education trainings for KPLHIV activists and community organizations (25-35 participants) in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, South Asia, and East Africa. Trainings, which will be three days, will be guided by the Advocacy for Community Treatment (ACT) Toolkit, which was developed under Bridging the Gaps I. Topics and issues covered in the Toolkit include: the science of HIV, treatment initiatives, human rights and treatment, trade and treatment, financing and treatment, and community advocacy planning. Furthermore, within the three regions where regional trainings are held, ITPC will select five (5) countries in which to host national treatment education trainings for KPLHIV activities and community organizations. These trainings will follow the same structure and content as the regional trainings, but be tailored for specifically to the social and human rights context in each country. It is only when communities are experts on HIV, TB and Hepatitis C treatment that they can confidently engage at national, regional and global level. Investment in this area is key, not only for communities to better advocate for their health care (and therefore upholding human rights), but also so that communities can be meaningfully engaged in service provision. 25-35 participants for three regional treatment education trainings. KPLHIV trainings will be 2-3 days and host 15-20 participants each.
Bridging the Gaps: Global Advocacy ITPC will attend and participate in relevant conferences such as the International AIDS Society Conference on HIV Science (IAS 2017) in Paris, the International Conference on HIV/AIDS and STIs in Africa (ICASA) 2017 in Abidjan and/or the in the International Congress on AIDS in Asia and the Pacific (ICAAP) 2017 in Bangladesh. As part of these participations, ITPC will present at and/or host meaningful sessions related to key population treatment access and human rights issues. Sessions and presentations will be guided by the outcomes to-date of the Missing the Target research project and the other key KPLHIV work. ITPC will also host three (3) regional treatment education trainings for KPLHIV activists and community organizations (25-35 participants) in Eastern Europe and Central Asia, South Asia, and East Africa. Trainings, which will be three days, will be guided by the Advocacy for Community Treatment (ACT) Toolkit, which was developed under Bridging the Gaps I (2015) and updated last year (2016). Topics and issues covered in the Toolkit include: the science of HIV, treatment initiatives, human rights and treatment, trade and treatment, financing and treatment, and community advocacy planning. Furthermore, within the three regions where regional trainings are held, ITPC will select five (5) countries in which to host national treatment education trainings for KPLHIV activities and community organizations. These trainings will follow the same structure and content as the regional trainings, but be tailored for specifically to the social and human rights context in each country. In order to better select the countries and training topics, ITPC will conduct a survey among KP partners to identify knowledge gaps and needs in access to treatment. Participation in global conferences of this nature is key in order to bring visibility to the work done under Bridging the Gaps and promote community-driven initiatives for key populations. It is only when communities are experts on HIV, TB and Hepatitis C treatment that they can confidently engage at national, regional and global level. Investment in this area is key, not only for communities to better advocate for their health care (and therefore upholding human rights), but also so that communities can be meaningfully engaged in service provision. ITPC will target key stakeholders present at global conferences such as civil society organizations, government agencies, pharma companies and ITPC’s partner organizations Furthermore, under this activity ITPC will train 25-35 participants during three regional treatment education trainings. KPLHIV trainings will be 2-3 days and host 15-20 participants each.

Purros Investments (Pty) Ltd IFCs financing will be used to facilitate the partial localization of the shareholding of SBN Holdings Limited (SBN), the holding company of Standard Bank Namibia Limited (the Bank), in line with the Namibia Financial Sector Charter (2008). The transaction will partially finance the acquisition of 10% of SBNs shares from the Standard Bank Group Limited (SBG or the Group) for the benefit of the Banks employees classified as historically disadvantaged Namibians. Purros Investments (Pty) Ltd (Purros) is a special purpose vehicle that has been set up to facilitate this transaction, and it will have no other economic activity other than to act as the holding company for the employee shares. The transaction is expected to have the following major developmental impacts: 1) Achieve Empowerment in the Namibian banking sector: The Project will enable the SBN to start the process of complying with the ownership aspects of the Namibian Financial Sector Charter and thus assist in addressing the historical socio-economic imbalances in Namibia and help to lower income disparities in the country in a transparent, sustainable manner. 2) Precedent Setting: The transaction is high profile in Namibia involving the third largest bank by assets. A well-structured BEE deal such as this one will hopefully provide a successful formula that other companies in Namibia will be able to easily replicate. 3) Developing the local capital market: The transaction is part of the process leading to the listing of the Bank to become the third listed commercial bank on the Namibia Stock Exchange.
Novanam Limited III The projects consists of the acquisition and upgrade of additional trawlers and upgrading of the processing plant in NovaNam. The investment in trawlers will enhance the company''s ability to catch its full quota.  Improving layout of the plant will improve processing capacity, efficiency, yields, quality, and margins. The project follows a US$13.5 million expansion that the company undertook in 1994, partially financed with an IFC loan of US$6.5 million.  In 1996 a further US$10 million expansion attracted a US$5 million IFC loan. Repayments of loans I and II have been timely.    By establishing the operation in Lüderitz, the company has contributed to the revival of the town and significantly increased its population (c 25,000) following declining economic activities of on-shore mining and crustacean fishing.  New fishing operations are now also based in Lüderitz and the town has become an economic center for Southern Namibia.     IFC provides long term financing that is not available in Namibia and will thereby ensure that the company maximizes its opportunities within a Namibian quota system that prioritizes allocations to successful, profitable enterprises who maximize on-shore value added production and employment. The project will strengthen profitability and the employment of 1,900 local workers.  Employment opportunities in Novanam are highly prized by floor and management staff. Staff is paid above market rates in the area.  IFC also seeks to contribute to NOVANAMs efforts of combating the HIV/AIDS virus.
Trustco Finance (Pty) Limited IFC is proposing to provide a 7-year senior loan of N$ 80 million (approx. US$10.9 million) to support the student lending programme of Trustco Finance, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trustco Group Holdings (TGH).  Trustco Finance provides loans to students to finance the upfront costs of tuition, study aids, and fees.  These students are enrolled with the Institute for Open Learning which is also a wholly-owned subsidiary of TGH. The Project is expected to deliver strong development impact by:

â?¢	Enhancing access to additional teachers training courses
â?¢	Improving the prospects of high school dropouts
â?¢	Improving the productive capacity and job earning potential of the current workforce
â?¢	Improving the employability and job earning potential of high school graduates
â?¢	Facilitating the adoption of new skills and/or career changes by those in full time employment who cannot afford to leave work and enter university full time.
Nedbank Investment Bank The proposed project consists of the establishment of Namibia''s first full service merchant bank offering a full range of merchant banking services including private equity, corporate finance, project finance, and asset management.  Nedcor Investment Bank Holdings, a leading South African merchant bank, is the main sponsor and strategic partner of the project.  NIB Holdings intends to restructure and recapitalize its current subsidiary, NIB Namibia (Pty) Limited, from an asset management company into a full service provider of merchant banking services.  The objective is to create a "truly" Namibian operation based on significant Namibian equity ownership and to develop local delivery capacity through skills transfer and training.      IFC''s will assume the classic "honest broker/neutral partner" role in the project by providing considerable comfort to all parties during deal structuring and monitoring successful implementation of local capacity building and training aspects of the project.  The project is expected to have a significant development impact as it will establish Namibia''s first financial institution that is able to provide a full range of merchant banking services to the Namibian market place.  The latter will constitute an important step in the development of significant Namibian participation in the financial sector of this relatively young country and create local delivery capacity in an area that was previously the "imported" domain of the large South African commercial banks.
Letshego Namibia Housing The proposed project (the Project) consists of a 5-year senior loan of up to US $50 million to the banking and microfinance subsidiaries of Letshego Namibia (Letshego or the Company).

Market-level development impact: i) Competitiveness. IFC expects that the Project will demonstrate the attractiveness of the housing finance sector focused on low-middle income individuals. The Project is expected to increase the market's competitiveness as other market participants replicate the Company's success in segments mostly overlooked by commercial banks.
