CSE Loan Project Project is to expand and operate a hospital facility owned by Clínica Sagrada Esperança, SA (The Company or CSE) in Luanda, Angola (the Project). IFC expects the Project outcome is improved quality of healthcare for patients of Luanda province of Angola. Beyond the project, IFC anticipates that the project has the potential to promote greater market resilience via demonstration channels.
It will also contribute to job creation, training, and development of the local community. Finally, demonstration and replication effects are expected to contribute to market creation through strengthening the resilience of a key healthcare provider, there is also potential for the corporate governance reforms at CSE to be replicated at other organizations in the country.
BMA SL Project The proposed investment consists of a 5-year senior loan of US$50 million to Banco Millennium Atlantico (ATL or the Bank). The IFC investment will be complemented by a GTFP line of up to US$50 million. Project-level development impacts:
i) Stakeholder effects: IFC anticipates that the project will increase access to finance to underserved SMEs. In addition to improving access to finance, IFC anticipates that the project will enhance the quality of products and services offered to SMEs.
ii) Economy-wide effects: By supporting ATL's SME clients in their expansion, the project is expected to help contribute to job creation and economic growth.

Market-level development impact:
i) Competitiveness: IFC expects that the successful demonstration, by an Angolan Tier 1 bank, of the commercial viability of scaling up SME lending and introduction of new product offerings and SME-focused processes will incentivize other financial institutions to follow suit.
Enterprise Bank of Angola EBA will be a new, target group oriented bank with the objective of providing, on a country-wide, financial services basis that are specifically tailored to the needs of client groups at the lower end of the market. In its business operations, the bank will focus on credit extension to private micro and small enterprises and on savings mobilisation from these enterprises, salaried workers, private individuals and the general public.  EBA will have two main groups of products: instalment loans and other banking services, including current and savings accounts (in Kwanzas and in USD) and national and international payment services. EBA will provide loans of between $100 and $50,000, to finance fixed assets and working capital of micro enterprises and small businesses.  IFC is a leader in Microfinance: IFC''s experience over a range of microfinance projects has shown that establishment of a specialized financial institution dedicated to microfinance provides a focused and efficient means of reaching the SME target group.  Due to the small size of typical microfinance banks, streamlined credit evaluation procedures and appropriately tailored MIS and micro-loan monitoring technologies can be put in place quickly.  High efficiency levels for SME lending are therefore achieved in a relatively short timeframe.   EBA will draw on these and other lessons from IFCs experience with building financial institutions and emerging best practice in microfinance institutions.      The proposed investment in EBA is expected to be strongly developmental -- in terms of its economic impacts, stimulus for business reconstruction, employment generation, confidence-building in the banking sector, and introduction of commercially-oriented microfinance techniques to Angola.  In addition to poverty alleviation and related impacts within the SME target group, IFC''s involvement in EBA is expected to yield a number of important demonstration effects.  First, establishment of EBA will provide for a best-practice financial institution with sound operating policies, transparent financial reporting, environmental screening procedures and a clear governance structure.  Over time, IFCs involvement in EBA is expected, to lead to the replication of commercially-oriented MFIs in the market and downscaling by Angolas existing commercial bank operations to serve SMEs.  Third,  technical assistance provided to EBA is expected to generate spill-over benefits in the form of trained managers and employees available to other Angolan financial institutions.  Lastly, EBA will contribute to mobilizing SME savings in due course, although this will not be its initial focus.

The components of the project act on the main restrictions which, at the level of the value chain, limit its integrated, sustainable and inclusive development, in particular by improving: - Production aspects (component/Result 1), increasing local availability of adapted varieties of seeds (climate smart), promoting the application of certified cultivation techniques (Good Agricultural Practices, GAP), sustainable and efficient, facilitating access to credit for individual production needs. - Access to the market (component/R2), favoring joint selling through the only Farmers' Association present at regional level in the Dry Zone, facilitating contract farming and access to facilitated credit for the needs of associations and micro and small businesses in the value chain. - Governance aspects (component/R3), strengthening the associative organization, inter-relationships and capacities of public extension services, promoting multiactor participatory planning of services and synergistic value chain policies. La proposta, nel suo obiettivo specifico, mira a migliorare le economie delle famiglie contadine e delle micro e piccole imprese che fanno parte delle filiere del sesamo, arachide e fagiolo (mungo verde), principali coltivazioni e fonti di entrata nelle zone di intervento. Le componenti del progetto agiscono sulle principali restrizioni che, a livello di filiera, ne limitano uno sviluppo integrato, sostenibile ed inclusivo, in particolare migliorando: - Gli aspetti produttivi (componente/Risultato 1), aumentando le disponibilità locali di varietà adattate di sementi (climate smart), favorendo l'applicazione di tecniche di coltivazione certificate (Good Agricultural Practices, GAP), sostenibili ed efficienti, facilitando l'accesso al credito agevolato per i fabbisogni produttivi individuali - L'accesso al mercato (componente/R2), privilegiando la vendita congiunta attraverso l'unica Associazione contadina in Dry Zone presente a livello regionale, facilitando la produzione a contratto e l'accesso al credito agevolato per i fabbisogni associativi e delle micro e piccole imprese di filiera Gli aspetti di governance (componente/R3), rafforzando l'organizzazione associativa, le inter-relazioni e le capacità dei servizi di estensionismo pubblico, promuovendo la pianificazione partecipativa multi-attore dei servizi e di politiche sinergiche di filiera.
