WCS COVID NSIA The proposed investment consists of a working capital facility of up to Euro 25 million to NSIA Banque Côte d'Ivoire (NBCI or Bank) under the FIG COVID-19 Emergency Response WCS Envelope (WCS Envelope). The WCS Envelope is designed to provide funding to existing IFC client banks in emerging markets that will then extend new trade-related or working capital loans to companies whose cash flows have been disrupted by the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic. Resilience: in the context of the acute shock associated with the COVID pandemic, IFC will, through this facility, support NBCI' capacity to sustain operations and particularly lending to a critical sector of the Ivorian economy.
Increase access to finance: The Project is also expected to increase access to finance for SMEs as it will help NBCI scale up its lending towards SMEs, which in turn is expected to drive economic growth and job creation.

The project builds on GTFP's global platform, increasing access to trade finance to emerging markets. The Project will provide increased access to trade finance to the Issuing Bank's customers, including both corporates and SMEs. On the market side, the project will further connect the Issuing Bank's cross border connections, increasing the country's integration through both financial and real sector channels.

Bereby-Finances Summary Of Project Information (SPI)        Project Name     Cote dIvoire-Société des Caoutchoucs de Grand Béréby.                 Region     Sub-Saharan Africa       Sector   Agriculture    Project No   .003402    Projected Board Date   July 1, 1995    Company Name   Société des Caoutchoucs de Grand Béréby (SOGB)    Technical Partner and/or Major Shareholders     	Béréby Finance, a subsidiary of Compagnie Internationale de Cultures Intercultures S.A.     Project Cost Including proposed IFC investment   CFAF 21,771 million (approx. US$43.5 million)    Location of project and Description of site     	Grand Béréby is 20 km west of San Pedro in the South West of Côte d''Ivoire.  The 13,900 ha rubber plantation is located within a concession of 35,000 ha.     Description of Company and Purpose of Project     	Privatization plans call for the Government to sell to private investors 75% of the shares of the company.  The project also involves rehabilitation of 1,000 ha of plantation, modernization of the processing plant, and installation of new machinery for widening the firm''s product line.      Environmental Category and Issues     		This is a category B project according to IFCs environmental review procedure. Environmental and occupational and health issues associated with this project include land use, air emissions, liquid effluents, noise generation and pesticide handling and application.  The SOGB plantation was originally established on a 35,000 ha concession of which approximately 50% was developed and 50% was retained as original vegetation.  This 50:50 split will be sustained.  The facilites do not generate air emissions other than the normal odors associated with a rubber processing unit and the liquid effluent is treated in a series of solid rubber traps and aerobic/anaerobic ponds to bring the BOD level below 50 mg/liter. The treated effluent is used for irrigation purposes.  As part of the project, the processing operation will be modernized to bring noise levels below 85 dBA.  SOGB has agreed to comply with the World Bank guidelines for pesticide handling and application.  Mature rubber plantations use virtually no chemicals other than occasional use of herbicides for control of vegetation in the tree row, and at SOGB weed control is normally done by manual labor.  IFC will ensure ongoing compliance with World Bank guidelines during the life of the project by evaluating monitoring reports submitted annually to IFC by SOGB, and by conducting periodic supervision.
