SMBC ECA RSF table, .k-table{ border-collapse:collapse; width:100%; table-layout:fixed; margin-bottom: 15px;} .k-table, .k-table td, table, table td {outline: 0;border: 1px solid #000; } .k-table td, table td { padding: 5px; }          The Project is a three-year, unfunded risk sharing facility (the Facility) whereby Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (SMBC) and IFC would share the risk, on an up to 50-50% basis, in a portfolio of up to US$450 million of senior loans that SMBC provides to banks in the Europe and Central Asia (ECA) region. The proposed project is expected to provide financing to key financial intermediaries in the ECA region. Indirectly, this increased capacity will also improve the availability of credit to local producers and importers along the value chain and in a wide variety of sectors. IFC's support is much needed in the region to help financial intermediaries build capacity for their funding needs.
BalAEF MBS Project The project involves up to $43.0 million IFC investment in Baltic-American Enterprise Fund and/or subsidiary thereof, (BalAEF or the company) and comprises: up to $40 million IFC investment in the form of credit enhancement through a combination of :  -  purchase/partial guarantees of upper equity,  - mezzanine and senior tranches of a cross border Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS) to be issued over the next three years by BalAEF, and, -Euro/US$ swap facilities to support MBS issuances.    Under the project, IFCs exposure will be to an off-shore Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) which will issue Mortgage Backed Securities (MBS), to be sold to international investors.  The SPV allows to achieve a true sale and bankruptcy remote structure; and under the proposed project, BalAEF will set up a securitization program which entails a series of MBS issuances for about $250 million over a three year period.    The first series of approximately $60 to $80 million MBS is expected to be issued within the coming six months. The securities will be backed by a pool of US dollar and Euro-denominated mortgages generated in Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania (the Baltics). The MBS program will represent the first cross border securitization of a portfolio of residential mortgages in the region and is expected to play a significant catalytic role in the development of this market. In particular, the securitization of mortgages would provide BaLAEF with additional liquidity to originate mortgage loans significantly in excess of what the companys limited access to long term funding base has permitted so far.
Baltic American Enterprise Fund Mortgage Warehouse Line of Credit The project will be a four-year revolving warehouse line of credit to BalAEF to expand its mortgage finance activities in the Baltics.  BalAEF will use the loan to originate affordable residential mortgage loans so as to build the volume needed to eventually securitize its mortgage loan portfolio for sale on the international market.  BalAEF intends to play a role in the development of a secondary mortgage market in these countries and has asked for IFC''s help in establishing a regional mortgage backed securities funding program.     Demand for mortgage lending in the Baltics is growing, but is limited by a shortage of term financing.  The project will strengthen the balance sheet of one of the leading mortgage finance institutions in the region and serve as a market model for providing affordable mortgage loans to individuals.  The project will thus help to develop the primary mortgage market in the Baltics and, by providing affordable housing finance, ultimately improve living standards.    IFCs participation in the project will help to introduce warehouse financing to the Baltics.  Moreover, IFC would use its global expertise to kick start the development of a regional secondary market for mortgage loans in the Baltics, which would provide a commercially viable refinancing vehicle for mortgage originators.
Strengthening Rwanda#s capacities to respond to industrial and natural hazards With the increasing incidence of natural or man-made disasters in Rwanda, including those caused by climate change, the country needs to enhance its response capacities.

The project will also contribute to increasing public awareness on fire safety and increase basic fire fighting practices.
Programme for country partnership  Rwanda 2024-2028 The Programme for Country Partnership (PCP) has been recognized, as the innovative and unique model for accelerating ISID in UNIDO Member States and in achieving the UN SDGs. Rwanda is a country with the ambition of climbing rapidly the ladder of development. According to the National strategy of Transformation 2017 # 2024: #Vision 2050 aspires to take Rwanda to high living standards by the middle of the 21st century and high-quality livelihoods#. Despite the commendable achievements, the share of manufacturing in the last decades stagnated at about 6% level. It is considering the above background that Rwanda was selected as a Country for developing a Program for Country Partnership (PCP) to further promote and accelerate Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID). The main objective of the PCP Rwanda is to enhance performance of the manufacturing sector to contribute to national priorities, including socio-economic, environmental development goals, and the attainment of SDG 9. The PCP will accompany the Government of Rwanda, UNIDO, and all the relevant stakeholders in the next five years and is timely to re#ignite the role of manufacturing development in the country. The Theory of Change is firmly based on UNIDO-led Light Industrial Diagnostic Study and # most importantly # on Rwanda#s Vision 2050

Country Programming Framework for Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development Rwanda (2015 - 2018) This Country Programming Framework (CP) is designed to enhance UNIDO#s support to the Government of Rwanda to implement a road-map towards Inclusive and Sustainable Industrial Development (ISID) as stated in the Lima Declaration adopted on the 2 December 2013 during the 15th session of the General Conference of UNIDO.  In doing so, UNIDO has aligned the priorities of the Government of Rwanda to the Economic Development and Poverty Reduction Strategy II (2013 # 2018), building on the achievements of past projects and programmes.  As industrialization is a long-term endeavour involving many stakeholders, efforts will be made to strengthen synergies and minimize duplication by collaborating with development cooperation partners, state and non-state actors, including the private sector in the country. As a framework based on established national priorities, it will be a useful guide for UNIDO#s interventions in Rwanda over the next years.

Technical assistance for strengthening SEZs and industrial parks in Rwanda UNIDO#s assistance has been requested by the Ministry of Trade and Industry on an urgent basis to improve the effectiveness of Rwanda#s special economic zones and industrial parks in contributing to Rwanda#s overall ISID. Under the leadership of the Ministry of Trade and Industry, the project will be building capacities in the Special Economic Zones Authority (SEZAR) to enhance the SEZ and industrial park policies and assisting in design of 8 industrial park tenders; the National Industrial Research and Development Authority to review and develop organizational processes and procedures for improved results, and the Rwanda Development Board as a strategic partner. Close involvement of the private sector will be ensured through collaboration with the Rwanda Private Sector Forum and other private sector stakeholders. Additional capacity will also be built in a more sustainable industrial intelligence function. The project, financed by the One UN Fund, will make contributions to the implementation of the UN Joint Programme on support to value chain development in Rwanda, financed by the One UN Fund, and the Rwanda-UNIDO Country Programme.
Capacity-building for industrial research and development in Rwanda The Government of Rwanda has set itself challenging targets for the growth of the industrial sector: it is expected to play a critical role in export generation, import substitution and job creation. The diversification of the Rwandan economy is essential for meeting the goals in Vision 2020. The Rwandan industrial sector is currently small, contributing on average around 15 per cent of GDP. For Rwanda to reach the Vision 2020 target, it requires the share of industry to increase to 26% of GDP. This will oblige the industrial sector to outstrip services and agriculture by recording at least 12% growth annually. Achieving this transformation requires a dynamic and coherent industrial policy for Rwanda.  An industrial transformation is also required in order to achieve the employment targets of Vision 2020 - non-farm employment is expected to reach 1.4 million against industry#s current employment of just 4 per cent of the workforce or 170,000 people.  The Government has taken significant steps to improve the enabling environment for the growth of the sector to support such growth. One aspect of this is converting the former Institute for Scientific and Technological Research (ISTR) into the National Industrial Research and Development Agency (NIRDA). This reflects a global trend for Governments to reduce funding

Peacekeeping Protection of Civilians Activity CIVIC will conduct research to identify gaps, best practices, and lessons learned in providing effective protection of civilians; advocacy with national and international stakeholders to address gaps and adopt and institutionalize best practices; and technical assistance to key actors to support them in developing and implementing protection of civilians policies, practices, tools, and trainings. We will focus on the UN missions in Central African Republic (CAR), Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), Mali, and South Sudan. 1. Peacekeeping operations’ planning and decision-making are based on threat-based analysis and impact; 2. Peacekeeper performance and accountability is improved; 3. Peacekeeping operations are mitigating harm to civilians (including harm caused by the presence and operations of a peacekeeping operation as well as harm that results from the operations of armed actors that a peacekeeping operation supports, for example, the UN Organization Stabilization Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo’s (MONUSCO’s) joint operations with government security forces in the DRC and the UN Multidimensional Integrated Stabilization Mission in Mali’s (MINUSMA’s) support of the Malian military and G5 Sahel Joint Force); and 4. Peacekeeping operations are safely and effectively engaging communities to improve protection.
Promoting the Protection of Civilians in UN Peacekeeping Operations CIVIC conducts research to identify gaps, best practices, and lessons learned in providing effective protection to civilians through UN peacekeeping. This includes UN peacekeeping operations’ efforts to protect civilians from other armed actors and to reduce harm that may result from a peacekeeping operation’s own presence, activities, and operations. Based on this research, CIVIC undertakes advocacy with national and international stakeholders to address these gaps and institutionalize best practices. CIVIC also provides technical assistance to peacekeeping operations and other stakeholders to support them in developing and implementing protection of civilians policies, practices, and tools. CIVIC focuses its work on peacekeeping operations in four countries, Central African Republic (CAR), Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), South Sudan, and Mali. In addition, CIVIC’s peacekeeping program undertakes research and advocacy at the UN Secretariat and with UN Member States to advance broader peacekeeping reforms that are essential to the protection of civilians in conflict. From June 2019 to May 2022, CIVIC’s Peacekeeping Program will focus on six objectives/results as proposed to the Dutch donors and numbered in the results framework and indicator table: •Objective/Result 1: The UN Secretary-General and Member States continue to prioritize the protection of civilians through UN peacekeeping, and view POC as an integral part of political strategies and solutions •Objective/Result 2: Mission planning and decision-making is linked to assessments of threats to civilians •Objective/Result 3: Peacekeeping performance is strengthened by ensuring that mandates are matched with adequate means (policies, guidance, and standards; specialized civilian and uniformed personnel that are willing and able to deliver on the mandate; tools and assets; adequate budgets and financing; and effective institutional structures and processes) •Objective/Result 4: Accountability systems for mission leadership and personnel are effective and transparent •Objective/Result 5: Member States, the UN Secretariat, and peacekeeping personnel understand and begin to develop capabilities to operationalize civilian harm mitigation in peacekeeping operations •Objective/Result 6: Communities at risk of violence are safely and effectively engaged in mission planning and activities to protect civilians. This includes strong emphasis on gender and CRSV.
