Ayiti Leasing The proposed project consists of an US$11mn senior loan (the Loan) to Ayiti Leasing (AL or the Company), the first leasing company in Haiti (the Country) to support the growth of ALs lease portfolio to Haitian small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The project will be supported by the International Development Association Private Sector Window (IDA PSW). 1.	Institutional capacity building and strengthening of the financial system in Haiti, an FCS country, by supporting the first leasing company in the country through an investment and advisory program focusing on technical expertise, improving corporate governance, and catalyzing the creation of a leasing market in Haiti.

2.	Support the growth of the productive sectors of the Haitian economy by expanding and increasing access to finance to served and underserved segments, focusing on SMEs. The SME Finance forum estimates 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 and 35% of MSMEs reported lack of access to finance as major barrier to growth.

Ltd., a South Korean garment manufacturer in setting up its first manufacturing operating in Haiti.    Hansae currently exports   approximately 300 million pieces of clothing per year from 11 production facilities in 5 countries: Nicaragua, Guatemala, Indonesia, Myanmar and Vietnam.        Phase 1 of the Haiti    project entails the establishing of a cutting and sewing plant of up to 44 production lines in the Sonapi (Societe Nationale des Parcs Industriels) industrial park in Port-au-Prince. - Job creation and employee skills development.  The Project will create up to 2,600 new jobs, most of which will be for women, the majority of whom are uneducated and have limited earning opportunities.
- Contribution to economic growth.  The textile and apparel sector is one of the sectors where Haiti currently has a strong competitive advantage.   The Project will thus contribute to economic growth in Haiti. It will generate significant foreign currency cash flows given its export focus, helping Haiti reduce its  trade deficit.  
- Demonstration effect.  The project will demonstrate to other foreign investors that despite various challenges, Haiti remains an attractive investment location for textile and apparel operations.

Digicel Haiti Digicel Limited (Digicel or the sponsor) is a provider of GSM mobile telephone services which entered the Jamaican market in early 2001. Since then Digicel has expanded into fifteen countries including Anguilla, Antigua & Barbuda, Aruba, Barbados, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Curacao, Dominica, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad & Tobago. Digicel is the fastest growing wireless operator in the Caribbean and distinguishes itself from incumbents through competitive tariffs as well as superior quality, functionality and service. 

The proposed project will finance the rollout of a mobile cellular telephone network in the Republic of Haiti by Unigestion Holdings S.S, an operating subsidiary of New Holdco (St. Lucia IBC) (the company), a Digicel holding company.  Unigestion is 70% owned by Digicel, with the remaining stake held by local partner, GB Group S.A. The project is expected to approximately cost $130 million.
Sogebank Project The proposed project is a comprehensive investment and advisory services program for Sogebank (or the Bank), the largest banking group in the Republic of Haiti with total assets of approximately $750 million. In a country were only 1% of the population has access to formal credit, the support of IFC in one of the soundest financial institutions will help improve access to finance by the population by promoting the creation of new products, increasing the lending capacity of the institution and promoting greater competitiveness and efficiency in the local market. IFCs investment would include equity in the Bank as well as guarantees for trade confirmation lines.   Sogebank is the leading bank in Haiti, with market shares of 28% and 34% in loans and deposits respectively. The Bank is a commercial bank with activities spanning retail and corporate banking, SME and microfinance, remittance distribution, and factoring which are operated as independent businesses through separate subsidiaries.  Sogebank was founded in 1986 by a group a Haitian businessmen who took over the operations of the former Royal Bank of Canada, which was present in Haiti since 1917. This project is expected to have a high developmental impact by strengthening the Haitian banking sector through the presence of institutional ownership in the largest bank, which will foster stronger governance, improved operational efficiency, and boost product innovation and service quality thereby fostering competition in the sector, which in turn will result in increased and improved access to finance, especially to currently underserved market segments of micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs).     The combination of IFCs advisory services in the area of MSME financing, coupled with Sogebanks scale and outreach in Haiti will be key in reinforcing the impact of the project. Finally, given that Haiti is an impoverished country with an undiversified economy that is dependent on imports for food, energy and manufactures and has few exports (apparel industry, agriculture), a GTFP line is expected to be highly developmental, both for Sogebank, and for the Haitian economy as it will facilitate imports of goods and equipment to support the economy, while at the same time scaling up an important line of business for the Bank. As such, this initiative is in line with IFCs strategy to focus on IDA countries.
E-Power S.A. The Project is the first IFC infrastructure project in Haiti. It is to construct, own, and operate a 30MW Heavy Fuel Oil (HFO) diesel power plant on a build-own-and-operate (BOO) basis in Port-au-Prince.  The project will sell its capacity and electricity to the state-owned utility, Electricité dHaiti (EDH), under a 15-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA).  The project benefits from sovereign guarantee and tax and duty exemptions under a Implementation Agreement (IA) and a Sovereign Guarantee with the Republic of Haiti.     	The project will be undertaken on a quasi full-turnkey basis by Hyundai Heavy Industries, Co. Ltd (HHI) and its spin-off, DECCO Ltd (DECCO) of Korea.  The foreign sponsor, the Basic Energy Group (BEG), will be the operations and maintenance (O&M) operator.   Fuel will be sourced from a large international fuel supplier.  Total project costs are about $50 million to be financed on a 75:25 debt to equity basis.  Construction period is expected to be about 18 months.    	The project is the first private-sector generation project in the country, which has been selected on the basis of international tendering processes undertaken with the help of the World Bank.  Currently, the country relies largely on another private-sector generator which owns and runs Light Fuel Oil (LFO) diesel facilities.  Being a HFO diesel facility, the Project will be significantly more cost-competitive than the existing LFO facilities at a total electricity cost of about US¢ 15-17 per kWh as compared with US¢ 22-26 per kWh for the LFO facilities at about a crude oil price of about US$ 60 -80 per bbl. 	  	In light of the current dire financial conditions of the state-owned utility, the project is expected to be paid largely through the budgetary transfer from the government, as has been the case for all the other private-sector generation projects.  Such budget transfer accounted for about 7-8% of total government expenditures in the recent years.  This is expected to remain at about the same level even with the commencement of the Project and other projects currently in the pipeline, assuming no improvement in the cash recovery rate of the state-owned utility and continuing growth of government budgets in line with its recent trend Economic Rate of Return:  The project was based on an economic cost-benefit analysis. Costs included the capital and operating costs of the plant according to the base case financial projections. Benefits include the value of electricity generated by the plant based on the monomic price as stated in the PPA. Costs include the capital and operating expenses of the plant and the costs of fuel oil based on international import parity prices. The ERR was estimated at 15%.
Caritas Ecuador EA12/2016 Earthquake Response At roughly 19:00hrs CDT, an earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 struck Ecuador causing serious damage and loss of life to cities and towns located on the coast. The epicenter was registered about 27 kms from Muisne on the NW coast.

No one left behind! Protection and care of children in street situations and vulnerable youngsters. Virlanie Faith Inc. will be responsible for the operations of our program in Bacolod City, aiming to facilitate access to basic rights to 1400 children, girls and boys, including most children in street situations (CISS), children in conflict with the law (CICL) and the most vulnerable children and youth both in the Open Day Centre and with its long-time local government partner, the Social Development Centre (SDC). The core strategy is to provide for their basic needs such as emergency shelter, social protection and legal identity through social services, physical & mental health and leisure activities (sports, arts and recreation).
The aim is to create an environment for young adults to realize and develop their potential and access the needed support through a comprehensive personalized intervention plan on education (formal and non-formal education) and technical (TVET) and general life skills training, to prepare them for independent living and community reintegration.

Empowering children and youth together globally ‘To tackle global challenges, you need new ways of looking at the world, new ways of thinking and acting as global citizens (UNESCO)’. Education is capable of making this happen because of its transformative power. Education is the core business of Djapo and KIYO. Djapo is an expert in Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), thinking based education and didactic capacity strengthening, while KIYO specializes in Global Citizenship Education (GCED) and children’s rights education. ESD and GCED are crucial components of quality education and are essential to realize the Sustainable Development Goals.  

Our shared aim is that ‘all children and youth are able, as active global citizens, to make conscious choices in order to contribute to a sustainable society in which they can realize their rights and their full potential, and have their voices heard’. We want that all schools and organizations working with, for and by youth create a high-quality and inclusive learning environment. Such an environment corresponds to the interests, context and identity of all children and youth, so that all children and youth can develop themselves as active global citizens.  

Djapo and KIYO work with teachers, future teachers and teachers of teachers from all grades. We motivate, train and support them to adapt their teaching practices to create a learning environment in which children and youth experiment and learn around societal challenges that matter to them. We collaborate with researchers to reflect on our practices and innovate to increase impact; with education policy makers to ensure preconditions for schools to create this learning environment are met; and with other public and private actors that want to reach schools. Lastly, we work with organizations that work with, for and by youth, to create environments in which youth become aware of their rights and potential, feel safe, can express themselves and develop new skills to be stronger in life.
Réduire la Pauvreté et l'Exclusion Sociale (REPES) L'outcome vise à améliorer significativement les conditions de vie et l’intégration sociale des 1.600 familles vulnérables ciblées par l’action, selon le principe du Leave No-One Behind (LNOB). 

La zone d’intervention choisie se situe dans les districts de Nyamagabe, Huye et Kamonyi, Province du Sud, Rwanda.

L’intervention part des principes que :
•La pauvreté est multidimensionnelle et demande une réponse holistique ;
•Les vulnérabilités sont intersectionnelles (se combinent et s’additionnent) et que les personnes vulnérables constituent un groupe hétérogène qui implique d’adapter les actions  selon le principe d’universalisme proportionné.

C’est pourquoi, l'outcome s’adressera à 3 groupes-cibles distincts, avec des activités adaptées à chaque groupe :
•200 Laissés pour compte qui demandent un accompagnement long et intense et des interventions très complètes et parfois complexes.
•200  Ultra-pauvres, qui se caractérisent par leur volonté  de changer les choses et semblent souvent plus aptes à se prendre en charge rapidement. 
•1200 Démunis, à la limite du seuil de pauvreté, qui seront accompagnés de manière plus légère.

Les actions du projet viseront à :
•Renforcer l’intégration sociale et l'empowerment des bénéficiaires du projet afin qu'ils retrouvent estime de soi et confiance en eux et participent à la vie de la communauté ;
•Accompagner les jeunes dans la recherche d’un emploi décent ;
•Renforcer la sécurité alimentaire des membres des ménages ciblés et augmenter leurs revenus ;
•Améliorer l’état de santé de tous les membres de chaque ménage ciblé ;
•Promouvoir le genre, les droits humains, la restauration des écosystèmes et la prévention des catastrophes.

Le programme met également en place un mécanisme de rayonnement qui devrait permettre au REPES de s’étendre, au-delà des bénéficiaires directs et toucher l’ensemble des communautés auxquelles ils appartiennent.
11.11.11 & CNCD - Programme commun coupoles d'OSC - 2022-2026 Ce plan d'action renforcera les capacités des OSC. Elle favorisera la synergie entre les OSC elles-mêmes et les autres acteurs de la coopération au développement (universitaires, agences gouvernementales, etc.). La bonne coopération au sein et entre les deux coupoles assurera une bonne coordination et une complémentarité au niveau fédéral ainsi qu'une capacité et une innovation accrues au sein du secteur.

L'union des forces concernant les thèmes politiques transversaux (genre, cohérence des politiques, etc.) conduira à des contributions plus qualitatives pour les conseils consultatifs (CC-CPD et CCGD), ce qui leur permet de garantir une contribution qualitative au profit des politiques publiques, en particulier celles menées par la ministre de la Coopération au développement.

Faisons de la justice sociale la norme pour que le commerce mondial puisse réaliser sa transition durable et pour mettre fin à la pauvreté extrême dans les chaînes de valeur agricoles L’outcome de FTB précise que la cible stratégique principale visée, celle sur qui portera l’impact recherché, est le secteur privé, pour rendre celui-ci respectueux de l’humain et de l’environnement. Ce sont en particulier les entreprises qui achètent des matières premières dans les pays d’Afrique, d’Amérique Latine et d’Asie, sur lesquels FTB a développé une expertise, avec, en majorité, des matières premières alimentaires. Mais certains produits, non alimentaires, comme le coton ou les fleurs sont des filières cruciales tant les enjeux en matière de justice sociale y sont nombreux. Pourquoi faire de la justice sociale la norme ? Les injustices sociales dans les chaînes de valeur du commerce mondial sont la cause de nombre de drames humains et environnementaux et créent un cercle vicieux qui se nourrit de l’extrême pauvreté des producteur.trice.s à travers le monde. Quand une valeur sort de la confidentialité de quelques-un.e.s, qu’elle est portée par le plus grand nombre, elle peut devenir une norme. Lorsque la valeur se mue en norme, elle exerce une pression sur différents pans de la société (entreprises, pouvoirs publics, citoyen.ne.s) qui sont poussés à s’adapter pour se mettre à jour vis-à-vis de la nouvelle norme. Chacun.e voit les changements de ses pairs et se questionne sur ses propres pratiques. Le label et la certification sont une des manières de s’adapter à la nouvelle norme, comme le sont les actions prises en matière de HREDD. Nous amplifierons cette dynamique de « Positive Peer pressure » en renforçant la conscientisation et l’engagement des citoyen.ne.s et des entreprises (formations, campagnes, actions), des pouvoirs publics (Faire Gemeenten, plateformes multi-acteurs,…) et en les amenant à être les porte-voix de la norme. Les 3 résultats sont formulés sur base des acteurs de la dynamique pour lesquels FTB développera des activités spécifiques et collectives : c'est -à -dire les citoyen.ne.s (adultes), les entreprises et les pouvoirs publics.
Des citoyen.ne.s et des mouvements sociaux plus fort.e.s pour un monde juste, solidaire et durable Avec cet outcome, nous voulons contribuer à la réalisation des droits humains et à un changement de système pour plus de justice sociale et environnementale, et ce grâce à 4 axes d’action: sensibilisation/éducation, mobilisation, appui aux mouvements sociaux et plaidoyer. En sensibilisant les citoyen.ne.s pour que celleux-ci s’engagent à un niveau individuel (lors de festivals, de conférences, de ciné-débats, d’animations dans les écoles). Nous voulons également que ces personnes sensibilisées se rendent compte de la puissance de l’action collective et mettent en place leurs propres actions ou s’engagent dans des structures existantes: dans les brigades d’action paysanne, au sein d’un GASAP ou d’un mouvement tel qu’Intal par exemple. Ainsi leur poids politique et social sera renforcé. Nous voulons favoriser la création d’alternatives au système dominant (ex: coopératives alimentaires, médias alternatifs, ZAD, mouvements de soutien aux réfugié.e.s, etc) et appuyer les mouvements sociaux pour qu’ils puissent affiner leurs stratégies d’action, s’allier et augmenter leur poids politique et social. Et, finalement, nous voulons influencer les décideurs.euses politiques (au niveau belge, européen et international). En recevant les informations pertinentes, en étant interpellé.e.s et rendu.e.s redevables par rapport à leurs obligations, en menant des dialogues avec les mouvements sociaux, ielles seront à même de prendre des positions en faveur des droits humains et d'un changement de système pour plus de justice sociale et environnementale. Nos thèmes de prédilection sont le droit à l’alimentation et à la nutrition, les droits des paysan.ne.s, le droit à la santé, l’interculturalité, la décolonisation, le genre, les luttes contre les inégalités, le rétrécissement de l’espace démocratique et la criminalisation des défenseurs.ses des droits humains et, finalement, la mainmise des multinationales sur les systèmes politiques, économiques et le vivant.
