SSC on Sustainable and Smart Cities between the City of Aarhus (DK) and the City of Tshwane (South Africa) The Strategic Sector Cooperation on Sustainable and Smart cities is a peer-to-peer cooperation between Aarhus Municipality and the City of Tshwane. Through the project, the City of Tshwane will improve its technical capacity in relation to integrated urban planning and development of safe and inclusive neighborhoods and public spaces, promotion of non-motorised traffic, storm water management and improved water supply. 

A Strategic Sector Cooperation (SSC) is a partnership aiming at improving sector framework conditions in a partner country. The initiative is a flexible and adaptive instrument for exchanging experiences, learning and capacity building, which builds on a consolidated strong relationship and trust between the involved authorities. The commitment to finance the Danish authorities’ participation is sequenced in phases; an inception phase of approximately one year resulting in a project document; followed by phase one, two and –if need be – a phase three during which the cooperation is deepened and developed. All SSC partnerships are supported by a sector advisor at the embassy, who impel progress and stir the partnership in the direction agreed upon.

Annually, the SSC projects deliver a report on project progress and results achieved. Progress on selected outputs are displayed in openaid. The Strategic Sector Cooperation on Sustainable and Smart Cities aims to introduce principles of integrated sustainable development and smart cities in South Africa through:

-Improved capacity of the administration of City of Tshwane to plan and develop the city into a sustainable and inclusive city.
-Introduction of interdisciplinary work methods and inclusive planning processes.
-General guidelines for urban management, which can be replicated in other districts and municipalities.
-Concrete plans developed for upgrading of the Salvokop district into a sustainable neighborhood with improved access for non-motorised transport, integrated storm water management, improved management of drinking water system, safe public spaces etc.

Alter Modus Microcredit Financial Institution Alter Modus DOO (Alter Modus) is the leading microfinance lender in Montenegro with an outstanding portfolio of approximately EUR 31.4 million and close to 17,600 active borrowers in the end of 2015. The project seeks to partner with Alter Modus as a platform to provide access to finance to the segment underserved by traditional commercial banks.  The proposed IFC financing consists of a senior loan of up to EUR 4 million for on-lending to micro and small enterprises (MSEs) in Montenegro. IFC impact is expected to: i. Stimulate development and economic growth in the country by enhancing the lead MFI''s ability to support access to finance for micro and small business as the major economic contributors. ii. Create job opportunities for entrepreneurs and individuals directly impacting poverty reduction. ii. Stimulate demonstration effect for the other MFIs in the country to introduce best standards in environmental and social systems.
Opportunity Bank The project consists of an IFC senior loan of up to Euro 4 million to Opportunity Bank Montenegro (OBM, bank, or the company) for the purpose of financing an expanding loan portfolio.  Loans will be made to micro and small business clients in line with OBMs strategy to finance the growth of micro and small businesses. OBMs management expects to fund the growth of the loan portfolio partly from externally borrowed funds and partly by mobilizing savings.

Opportunity Bank Montenegro (OBM) was founded in April 2002 to finance the growth of micro and small enterprises in Montenegro and to offer safe savings services to the Montenegrin public.  OBM is a licensed and regulated full service bank that provides loans to both existing businesses and start-ups.  Loan sizes range from EUR 500 to EUR 10,000 for micro-entrepreneurs and generally up to EUR 100,000 (with a present average loan size of EUR 30,000) for small enterprises.

Opportunity Bank Montenegro is the successor to Microcredit Montenegro (MCM), which was founded in 1999 as a non-government, non-profit organization offering loans to small-business entrepreneurs in Montenegro. MCM's primary target clients were entrepreneurs and farmers who lacked the financial means necessary to develop their business. MCM has made a total of more than 10,000 loans to trade, service, manufacturing, and agricultural clients. The existing clients of MCM have mostly become clients of OBM, and MCM has ceased to grant new loans.
Montenegro Mall Under a public-private partnership (the Partnership) with the Municipality of Podgorica (the Municipality), Gintas Construction Contracting & Trade Inc., Turkey (Gintas or the sponsor) will be developing prime retail space in central Podgorica.  The sponsor and the Municipality have agreed to terms whereby the sponsor will construct a multi tenant, open-air market (bazaar) which will be owned by the Municipality, and in return for this work, the sponsor will receive adjacent land to develop its own modern shopping mall (the project or the Mall).  The project will be the first of its kind in Montenegro and will introduce new retail standards and best practices in the country.  Within an overall site area of over 50,000 square meters(m2), the sponsor will rebuild an existing 13,000 m2 bazaar site called Velika Pijaca, to be owned and operated by the Municipality.  The remaining area of over 37,000 m2 will be for the project.  Once the project is complete, the shopping mall will accommodate mixed use leaseable area including a hypermarket, large stores, retail shops, and office space. The shopping mall will offer cinemas, entertainment facilities, an outdoor entertainment square, open and covered car parking, a food court, restaurants and cafés. The project will increase the revenue stream of the Municipality of Podgorica, provide private sector management experience to the Municipality and the environment, and contribute towards increased taxes to the national government.  In addition, the project will:   - provide new shops for direct employment to more than 900 people in addition to indirect jobs.   - have a multiplier effect on the local economy and generate demand for a wide range of goods and services from food to building materials to security and maintenance personnel.  - supply quality commercial space and introduce a mixed-use shopping mall in Montenegro, which will set standards for offices and commercial centers.  - result in the remediation of the hygienic conditions of the old bazaar and set the standards for the region.
Podgoricka Banka The proposed project is a jeopardy case and involves the recovery of IFCs arrears in Montenegro, the Republic of Serbia and Montenegro. These loans were made by IFC to enterprises and a bank in Montenegro during the 1980s. The loans stopped being serviced after the break-up of Yugoslavia in the early 1990s. As part of a settlement of these arrears, IFC would subject to satisfactory due diligence:   - acquire a stake of at least 10% in Podgoricka Banka a.d., Podgorica (PB or the bank); and - extend a loan of up to EUR 5 million  to PB.
NLB Montenegro The proposed project aims to increase access to finance for SMEs in Montenegro through a EUR10 million senior loan to NLB Montenegrobanka a.d. Podgorica (NLB Montenegrobanka or the Bank) to be on-lent to SMEs. NLB Montenegrobanka is a leading commercial bank in Montenegro and part of the NLB Group.   This project is part of a regional facility for NLB Group that aims to provide term loans for an aggregate amount of EUR90 million to subsidiaries of NLB for on-lending/on-leasing to SME borrowers in several countries across the Balkans including FYR Macedonia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Serbia, Montenegro, and Bulgaria. The proposed IFC loan will support SME lending activities of the Bank in the rather underdeveloped market of Montenegro, where private sector credit/GDP is at a lower level compared to EU. Through this project, IFC will contribute to expanding access to term finance and support SMEs capital investment plans.  The project is a good example of IFCs strategy to support intra-regional investments by a bank based in a transition country (albeit one that is now an EU member) into other countries in its region. The successful implementation of the project will help an experienced strong local sponsor to grow further as a regional player, and facilitate transfer of capital and modern banking practices from Slovenia into the lesser developed markets in the region.
Podgorica Bypass The proposed investment is a senior loan of up to $15 million to the Municipality of Podgorica in Montenegro to finance the completion of the Eastern Bypass, a priority project of the City supported also by the European Union that will eliminate a key remaining bottle-neck on the motorway from Belgrade to the Adriatic Sea. The proposed IFC investment will support private sector development in Montenegro through reduced travel time, enhanced mobility and facilitating country's reintegration into international trade and tourism networks. It will also have long-term environmental and social benefits by reducing air pollution and traffic accidents in the City.
Podgorica Roads The proposed IFC investment would help the City of Podgorica finance the construction of the first phase of the South-Western Bypass from the junction with the Podgorica-Cetinje Highway to the junction with the Podgorica- Petrovac Highway. A portion of the IFC loan would be used to re-finance existing debt that the City contracted in the midst of the 2009 crisis for other capital expenditures. Given the central location of Podgorica along the main road axes connecting different cities within Montenegro and providing access to neighboring countries, a targeted investment in the roads sector is expected to improve national and international connectivity, reduce travel times and vehicle operating costs and contribute significantly to local economic growth. By keeping transit traffic out of the city, the Project is also expected to help reduce air and noise pollution and road crashes along the existing network. The first tranche of IFC investment will allow the City to refinance expensive existing debt, thus reducing the cost of financing its capex and improving its debt servicing capacity.
