CCM Project The proposed project is an investment of up to 8.92 million equivalent in XOF in the form of a 9-year senior loan to Carriere et Chaux du Mali SA (CCM or the Company), aiming at supporting CCMs permanent working capital needs and critical new equipment upgrades to ramp up capacity utilization.  CCM is the first modern and large-scale lime and limestone producer in Mali providing an alternative to lime products imported mainly from Europe, for mining and agricultural markets.   The project includes support from the International Development Associations Private Sector Window Local Currency Facility (IDA-PSW LCF) and Blended Finance Facility (IDA-PSW BFF) as described below. Consumers of agricultural lime, employee skills development and economy-wide benefits are the most significant expected project-level outcomes. In addition, the investment could promote market competitiveness in  both the agricultural and mining industry in Mali which depends heavily on imported lime products.
FCS RE MALI SHI The proposed investment consists of a financing package of up to 2.5 million to Mali Shi SA (Mali Shi or the Company), a greenfield shea nuts processing company headquartered in Bamako, Mali. Mali Shi will produce shea butter for export market. The Company will employ over 83 people will collect shea nuts from more than 120,000 women collectors in Mali.  The project consists of an investment plan to (i) construct a greenfield shea nuts processing plant in Mali, with an installed capacity of 30,000 tons of shea nuts, (ii) the construction of shea nuts storage warehouses; (iii) the purchase of logistical equipment; and (iii) a working capital line (the Project). The Project will also be supported by the Private Sector Window of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), a multilateral mechanism launched by the G20 with the purpose of scaling-up support to help less developed countries alleviate poverty and improve food security, a program implemented by IFC. The most significant, expected project-level outcome is the increased income for ~120,000 new and existing shea nuts collectors in Mali, primarily women. Beyond the project, IFC anticipates the investment will increase competitiveness in Mali's shea nuts sector through demonstration and replication effects, and capacity building and skills.
Bank of Africa, Mali RSF This project involves a joint IDA-IFC Risk Sharing Facility (RSF) in the local currency equivalent of $6.25 million ($12.5 million portfolio size).  The RSF will apply to a portfolios of loans to Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and microfinance institutions originated by Bank of Africa Mali (BoA Mali), one of the banks selected by the Government of Mali (GoM) to benefit from this RSF program.  The RSF will cover up to 50% of the credit risk of the commercial banks portfolio of new loans. The commercial banks will share all losses on a 50-50 basis with the IDA-IFC RSF. 

In addition to the guarantee, the project envisages two advisory services (AS) components:  

- AS to the commercial banks, with the objective to better service the SME sector; and 
- AS to SMEs, which aims to help bridge the gap between the SMEs and the banks by providing some financial and management training to the SMEs. Consistent with the objective of supporting sustainable private sector development, this RSF contributes to high development impact in two key, high-priority areas: 

- Development of the financial sector in Sub-Saharan Africa:
Improving the capacity of banks can lead to increased efficiency and stability in the financial markets.  A sound financial sector contributes to the development of the local economy and attracts foreign investment. 

- Development of the SME sector:
The SME sector makes up a large share of Malis economic output and makes several vital contributions, including the creation of jobs and increasing economic activity. Increased access to finance and capacity building for this sector, facilitated by the RSF, can lead to higher levels of entrepreneurial activity, private sector development and improvement in economic output.

Furthermore, the project would support the GoMs objective of accelerating poverty reduction by furthering sustainable, equitable economic growth and will: 

- increase SME access to medium term finance; 
- promote the competitiveness of selected industries, including enhancing linkages and know-how transfer between large businesses and SMEs and working within high potential value chains to alleviate critical bottlenecks identified through careful supply chain analysis.

CEDIAM Project 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 proposed investment consists of a Eur6.5 million senior secured loan to Centre dEtude et de Développement Industriel et Agricole du Mali SA (Cediam or the Company), a multi-fruit processing company, operating in Yanfolila (southern Mali), established in 2011 and operating since 2012. Cediam sources mangoes from 2,000 smallholders for export as fresh mangoes as well as to produce mango concentrate and puree packed in drums and exported mainly to Europe and the Middle East, via Montecarlofruit, a Montecarlo-based company specialized in the distribution of fruits as well as products such as puree, concentrates and juices.        The proposed financing may also be made available under the private sector window of the Global Agriculture and Food Security Program (GAFSP), a multilateral mechanism launched by the G20 with the purpose of scaling-up support to help less developed countries alleviate poverty and improve food security, a program implemented by IFC.        The investment will help support the companys expansion plan, which entails: (i) development of a 234 ha land parcel, under acquisition in the Yanfolila region, to produce its own mangoes, tomatoes and passion fruit; (ii) expansion of the storage warehouse at the existing processing facility in Yanfolila and construction of a fresh mango sorting and packing platform; (iii) acquisition of vehicles to expand the transportation fleet; and (iv) installation of a pouch-filling line for tomato concentrate targeting Mali and neighboring countries. This investment would help support Cediams vertical integration and diversification projects, aimed at securing fruit supply as well as diversifying its business through products that would ensure year-round operation of the companys existing processing facility rather than limiting operations to mango processing only for 4 months of the year (April to July). As part of a future expansion project, Cediam plans to install a fruit juice production line using the companys mango puree. However, this does not fall within the scope of IFCs proposed investment. The project will (i) increase income of farmers involved in mango production by linking them to market and improving support services, (ii) help the creation of additional employment, (iii) contribute to the industrialization of Mali, which has one of the lowest industrialization rate in the Africa sub-region.
Segou Solaire The Project consists in the development, design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of a 33 MW greenfield Solar Plant located in Segou, Mali. The installation will be equipped with approximately 130,000 photovoltaic modules, installed on a fixed mounted structure and optimized to have a total production of about 57 GWh on yearly basis (i.e 4% of the total electricity production in Mali.). The Plant will be connected to the national grid through a transmission line included into the Projects Scope. The Project will sell power to the national utility EDM under a 25 years Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) backed by a guarantee from the Government of Mali and an IDA Partial Risk Guarantee. IFC''s involvement in this Project is expected to: - Contribute to the reduction of generation costs for the benefit of Malian consumers; - Support the provision of competitive energy to help reduce Mali''s power deficit and boost its economic recovery; - Provide a demonstration effect, as the first solar IPP to be developed in the country and the first major private sector investment since the Coup d''Etat, the Project  will pave the way for further private sector participation in Mali; - Support local sponsor by strenghtening the development of a malian sponsor ( Africa Power 1); - Be a key milestone for renewables in sub-saharan africa: the project is one of  the first utility scale solar PV and will stimulate the use of solar energy in the region. - Displace emergency diesel units and contribute to the reduction of CO2 emissions.
Grand Hotel de Bamako The project involves a major renovation of Grand Hotel (GH), a successful 3-star, 91-room business hotel in Bamako, Mali, owned and operated by SMPH. The hotel was established with IFC''s financial support through a loan granted in 1994 to help renovate the then newly privatized 74-room facility. The proposed renovation of GH is critical in maintaining and increasing its competitiveness. The colonial-style low rise facility (three floors) built in 1953, has not been refurbished since 1994. It now needs a profound renovation and uplifting into a modern and international standard business hotel.    IFC''s objectives are two-fold. The proposed investment would:    confirm IFC''s support to local businesses in the development of tourism infrastructure in Mali, thereby improving the country image among potential investors; and    supplement a regional "Banque Ouest Africaine de Développement" (BOAD) financing, thereby providing scarce long-term resources devoted to development.     The developmental impact  includes:    - consolidating and maintaining quality standard business accommodation facilities, thereby improving the overall attractiveness of the Bamako destination;    - revitalizing the urban architecture and cultural heritage of the town, through the renovation of the GH building which dates back to the colonial days and which was recently classified as an ancient monument;    - saving and maintaining about 74 jobs, in a country with high unemployment; and    - enabling the state to continue collection of fiscal revenues to the tune of CFAF250 million ($0.35 million) per year.

SOMABIS SARL The Proposed loan of up to EUR4 million (EUR2 million own account and EUR2 million from IDA PSW) to Société Malienne de Biscuiterie SARL (SOMABIS or the Company), the only established biscuit manufacturer in Mali, is to support the Companys investment program and includes a EUR 6.6 million project. This project will expand the companys production capacity on a new site with the installation of a new state-of-art production line of biscuit of 1,200 kg per hour (compared to the current line of 650 kg per hour) and a production line of wafers of 500kg per hour, which will be a new business segment for the Company. The new site is in the new industrial zone of Banancoro (in the outskirt of Bamako) and will host two warehouses for the plant and an administration building. The project is expected to be supported by the IDA20 Private Sector Window Blended Finance Facility (IDA PSW BFF) in the amount of up to EUR2 million as described in the Blended Finance Section. Project level outcomes: (i) Stakeholder (consumers) - Increased access to fortified biscuits by consumers and therefore contribute to improving nutrition in Mali which has a high prevalence of malnutrition; and (ii) Economy wide effects - increased value addition and job creation along the supply chain. Beyond the Project, IFC expects the investment to contribute to increasing competitiveness of the sector in Mali.

The principle socio-economic benefit derived from this project is that two important industrial sectors will be sustained and potentially expand with associated national and local economic and employment benefits when otherwise the application of the obligations from a global chemical convention banning the use of HBCD would significantly reduce its prospects, particularly among smaller enterprises. Linked to sustaining these industrial sectors are the expectation of the country being able to produce critical insulation building materials that both allow maintaining world class energy efficient building design as well as a high level of public safety protection through fire protection capability. These socio-economic benefits are directly linked to the principal global environment benefit from the project, namely the elimination of HBCD, an Annex A POP under the SC, in one of the largest consumers among developing countries.
