Enabling HIV/AIDS, TB and Social Sector Environment (ENHANSE) Active from 2004 to 2009, the Enabling HIV/AIDS, TB and Social Sector Environment (ENHANSE) project worked with religious leaders and faith-based organizations in northern Nigeria to raise awareness of issues involving HIV/AIDS, reproductive health, and safe motherhood. This organization was one of the first to gain acceptance in this Muslim-dominated area. ENHANSE trained imams on ways to incorporate health-related information in their sermons and community outreach, and also worked to sensitize religious leaders on topics of reproductive health. Lastly, the ENHANSE program provided community leaders with the knowledge and support to influence public opinion and government policy.

Caribbean Bottling Company S.A. The proposed investment consists of a financing package equivalent to US$5 million to Caribbean Bottling Company (CBC or the Company), a bottling company headquartered in Croix Des Bouquets, Haiti. CBC is one of the leading manufacturers and distributors of (i) water and related products, (ii) juice beverages under the brand Frooty, and (iii) iced tea under the brand Brizz. The Company employs over 400 people and commercializes its products through a well-established distribution network.  The project consists of investments to expand the Companys bottling and warehousing capacity and incremental working capital needs. The Project will also be supported by the IDA18 IFC-MIGA Private Sector Window (IDA PSW), created by the Word Bank Group to catalyze private sector investment in IDA countries, with a focus on fragile and conflict affected states, such as Haiti. (i) Project level impact is expected to derive from economy-wide effects through the creation of direct and indirect jobs, environmental and resource efficiency through improved practices in the production process, and access to safe drinking water  to a wider population in rural areas. (ii) anticipated Market level impact includes building up the local manufacturing base by aiming to source more inputs locally, initiatives to reduce plastic waste, and demonstration effect by investing in a country despite its various challenges.
Port Lafito, S.A. The project consists in the development and operation of a greenfield multi-purpose port and terminal in Haiti to handle containerized and loose-bulk cargo. The port and terminal is expected to aid the countrys efforts to redevelop the port sector following the 2010 earthquake. The construction of the terminal will support the reconstruction of the port sector in Haiti by providing access to reliable facilities, increasing container and bulk handling capacity and increasing competition in the market. The Project will help reduce the cost of transportation by reducing congestion, improving efficiency and productivity, and therefore benefit shippers, shipping lines, and consumers alike. In addition, the Project will create substantive employement and training, while also support revenue generation for the Government / Port Authority.
ACME Haiti Project The proposed project consists in providing long-term financing in local currency to Action pour la Cooperation avec la Micro Entreprise (ACME or the Company), in order to support the growth of its microfinance portfolio and help ACME expand its lending services to rural micro and small enterprises (MSEs). ACME is one of Haitis leading microfinance institutions, with US$ 18 million equivalent in assets, 30 branches and 430 employees. The proposed project is expected to have high development impact by: (i)  Increasing and improving access to finance for micro and small entrepreneurs, which are of strategic importance to increase employment opportunities and generate economic growth in Haiti yet highly underserved by the financial system; (ii) Providing access to finance to women entrepreneurs, which represent 65% of ACME''s clients; (iii) Expanding availability of financial services in rural areas of Haiti as ACME continues to expand its presence in the regions over the next five years; and (iv) Promoting the adoption and implementation of best practice, particularly in terms of environmental and social practices.

Codevi II Project Founded in 1986, Grupo M is a vertically integrated apparel manufacturer in the DR producing knits and woven products to the highly competitive US market. Grupo M (DR) and its subsidiary CODEVI (Haiti) are an integrated operation with 7500 workers in Haiti and 500 workers in the DR and remain one of the largest garments manufacturing operation in the Caribbean/Central American region, supplying major US brand name companies including Liz Clairborne, Polo, Levis, Hanes and Calvin Klein. The main production site is at Caribbean Industrial Park (CIP), in Santiago City. Their Haitian operation, the CODEVI complex, a duty-free zone in Ouanaminthe, on the border with DR, is operating successfully and has grown its Haitian payroll from 300 in 2006 to more than 7,000 employees by mid-2013, making it currently the largest employer in Haiti.  CODEVI is engaging in an expansion program which consists of the construction of a new facility destined to its wovens line; and (ii) the acquisition of specialized machinery. The project will have a strong development impact. At full development, over a two year implementation period, the expansion project would generate 4,000 additional skilled jobs. CODEVI''s payroll, higher than the minimum wage, is the only source of stable livelihood for the 7,000 workers and their dependents, whose number is now estimated at approximately 60,000 in the town of Ouanaminthe and its surroundings.  It is estimated that another 30,000 people live in Ouanaminthe, deriving their livelihood from indirect jobs associated with CODEVI''s operations.  Furthermore, CODEVI''s payroll is made up of approximately 50% women who are amongst the most vulnerable segments of Haitian society. The project will therefore provide a social safety net to the current workers and their dependents.   This investment is also expected to send a positive signal on the creditworthiness of private sector investment in Haiti and on the potential of the textile sector in the country. This project will contribute to the creation of new growth pole built entirely on the private sector initiative.  The IFC approach in this investment is also driven by a focus on delivering impact on the ground to the community that has agglomerated around the jobs generated by CODEVI. To ensure delivery, IFC has also systematically identified upfront partners (with and through Ashoka and other NGOs) to identify and respond to community needs with technologies and businesses to deliver BOP goods and services. A pilot project managed by Ashoka with CODEVI''s support has already reduced the cost of basic goods and services to the workers and families, thus boosting disposable income and tangibly reducing poverty levels.
Eurasian Minerals Inc. Eurasian Minerals Inc. (EMX or the Company),  is a TSX Venture Exchange listed junior mining company focused on early stage precious and base metal exploration in northern Haiti and Turkey. EMX also has equity or royalty interests in early stage projects in Eastern Europe and Kyrgyz Republic.  The Haiti prospects (Lamine, La Miel and Grand Bois) fall under a joint venture agreement with Newmont Ventures Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation. The two main projects in Turkey, Sisorta and Akarca, fall under joint ventures with Chesser Resources Limited and Centerra Gold Inc respectively. Exploration in Haiti started in 2006 and the Company has not yet started drilling. The Company has started drilling at Sisorta and Akarca and has produced initial resource estimates. All EMX projects are early stage exploration and at this time it is not certain or possible to tell if any of the projects will actually proceed to mine development. Development of a mine, if it happens, is not expected to be completed for at least five or more years. The proposed IFC investment in exploration stage projects would not result in any immediate incremental production and the development impacts during this stage are expected to be limited. Local employment in an extremely poor part of Haiti is expected to be the main direct development impact during this phase. Indirectly, the advancement of exploration projects in Haiti could also have a positive impact of attracting additional foreign investments to an underdeveloped but promising sector of the Haiti economy. Because the investment predates advanced exploration and feasibility studies, it is not yet possible to fully quantify or specify the potential development impacts during any possible mine development or production. If continued exploration eventually leads to mine development and production, the development impacts for Haiti could be substantial and include both revenues/foreign exchange contribution to the national economy and development of vital transportation/energy infrastructure that would improve possibilities for other economic activities.
Leopard Haiti Leopard Haiti Fund, LP (the Fund) is a ten-year Cayman Islands based private equity fund established to help recapitalize the Haitian private sector following the January 2010 earthquake.  The Fund will make investments in small and medium enterprises (SMEs), targeting priority sectors such as affordable housing, renewable energy, food production, and tourism, while opportunistically considering investments in other basic sectors. The Fund aims to raise $75 million primarily from IFIs, foundations, impact investors and high net worth individual investors. A related $3 to $5 million Technical Assistance facility will be sought from donors to promote capacity development within potential target companies. The Fund is expected to deliver strong development impact through: (i) supporting undercapitalized SMEs in Haiti with funding, managerial guidance and technical assistance; (ii) demonstrating successful private equity investing in Haiti, a priority IDA country, (iii) building confidence amongst institutional investors to invest in Haiti; and (iv) mobilizing co-investment from strategic international investors.  Private equity-sponsored companies often adopt management practices in financial control, cost accounting, quality control, corporate governance, formalized legal structure and tax reporting that are better than those used by their peers. If the Fund is successful and delivers developmental and financially positive returns for its investors, the investment manager may be able to launch successor funds.  Examples of successful and well run private enterprises will contribute to a vibrant and sustainable private sector, improving employment, trade balance and public finances in Haiti.
SLGP RSF Sogesol The proposed project consists of an up to US$ 5 million equivalent risk sharing facility ('RSF') with Société Générale de Solidarité S.A. (Sogesol) on a portfolio of up to US$10 million equivalent. The project will support Sogesol in increasing its lending to small enterprises in the country, including agri-enterprises in Haiti.    The project is part of IFCs Small Loan Guarantee Program which provides risk sharing instruments to client financial institutions looking to expand SME lending in difficult to serve markets.  SLGP is supported by the IDA18 IFC-MIGA Private Sector Windows Blended Finance Facility (PSW-BFF), which was created by the Word Bank Group to catalyse private sector investment in IDA countries, with a focus on fragile and conflict-affected states. PSW BFF support enables IFC to rapidly roll out a program of SME risk sharing facilities to reach segments facing serious market failures which IFC could not otherwise serve. The project is expected to have strong development impact in terms of: (1) supporting the growth of the productive sectors of the Haitian economy by expanding and increasing access to finance to small enterprises. The SME finance forum estimated that the total credit gap in Haiti amounts to almost US$2.5 billion, with 49% of MSMEs reporting that they are either under or unserved by financial institutions. (2) promoting growth in agribusiness, a key economic sector representing 22% of GDP.  It is estimated that only 28% of farmers have bank accounts and 19% received a credit for agricultural purposes. (3) strengthening the Haitian financial sector's competitiveness through capacity building, demonstration and replication channels.
