Innova VI Project The proposed project consists of an equity investment in the Innova 6 SCA/SICAV (Innova 6 or the Fund), a closed-end private equity fund, domiciled in Luxembourg. The Fund will have a generalist approach with a primary focus on financial services, telecom/technology, business services, manufacturing, consumer, healthcare, and retail. (i)	Job creation: The Fund will focus on mid-cap companies with growth capital needs, which tend to have the largest impact on job creation and the most potential for IFC to develop direct relationships through potential co-investment opportunities. 
(ii)	Access to finance: Long-term equity and risk-oriented capital is limited in Poland; mid-cap companies usually access bank loans in the absence of equity investors. IFC's investment will support Polish companies by providing additional equity in this segment.
(iii)	Private sector development: The Fund will play an active role in strengthening governance and transparency of the investee companies through its hands-on involvement. Operational efficiencies of the portfolio companies will improve, thus promoting growth and sustainability.
Holland Project The proposed transaction is an investment of up to US$90 million in convertible preferred shares of Elemental Holding S.à r.l., a company formed and incorporated in Luxembourg (Elemental or the Company).

IFCs proposed investment will be used to finance the Companys growth plans through Mergers and Acquisitions (M&A) in developed and emerging markets, downstream projects, and other corporate purposes and transactions (the Project). The Project will contribute to the reduction in inadequate waste disposal and GHG emissions associated with primary mining and electricity generation as well as greater sustainability by demonstrating a successful circular economy business model.

The Project will be divided into two components:-Component 1  Improved water supply system: infrastructure to improve the existing water production facilities and extension of networks in the cities of Greater Paramaribo and Moengo;-Component 2  Strategic water supply planning: studies and technical assistance to plan the future investments in the water sector, develop its financial sustainability and enhance social acceptability.
SMC BMGF Phase 2 MZ & UG The study aims to test the feasibility, effectiveness and chemoprevention efficacy of SMC with SPAQ in an area of Mozambique where malaria transmission is highly seasonal.  This implementation research study uses a convergent mixed-methods approach. SMC will be implemented in four monthly cycles between November 2021 and February 2022. The research will involve seven components: 1.	Documenting the process of further adapting the intervention to the context in Mozambique 2.	Conducting a representative end-of-round household survey to determine coverage and quality of SMC implementation 3.	Conducting a cluster randomized controlled trial (cRCT) through passive surveillance to establish confirmed malaria cases in children 4.	Conducting a prospective chemoprevention efficacy cohort study to determine if SPAQ provides 28 days of protection from infection and whether drug concentrations and/or resistance influence the duration of protection 5.	Conducting a resistance markers study in children 3–59 months in the two research districts plus the two standard intervention districts to measure changes in resistance marker prevalence over time 6.	Modelling the protective effect of SPAQ in Mozambique using existing data from phase 1 to determine where SMC could be a suitable malaria prevention strategy 7.	Conducting a process evaluation of the SMC implementation.
