Aksyon Kominotè nan Sante pou Ogmente Nitrisyon (AKSYON) Nutrition Program (Haiti):  "Aksyon Kominote nan Sante pou Ogmante Nitrisyon" (AKSYON), a five-year health and nutrition activity, addresses the core issues that contribute to malnutrition in Haiti. The project directly supports the Government of Haiti's efforts to manage maternal and child health and nutrition-related diseases, including tracking malnutrition among women and children at the community level and referral for treatment. With FY 2020 funds, AKSYON will expand nutrition interventions in all ten departments, including in the drought-affected areas in the northern part of the country (North West, North, and North East), and will improve knowledge and skills-building around essential components of child and adult nutrition. The program outcomes include: reducing the number of stunted children; ensuring programs are data-driven; improving the cost-effectiveness of nutrition programs; scaling up community management of acute malnutrition; increasing positive behavior changes in water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) practices; and improving nutrition-specific and nutrition-sensitive WASH knowledge, skills, and practices. In specific cases when the  malnourished children live in hard to reach areas and the referral to a close health center is not feasible, AKSYON will provide Ready to Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF) to the children for treatment and do the follow up. AKSYON interventions aim at mass screening of children under five and pregnant women for malnutrition. In collaboration with the Sante Project, AKSYON refers acute malnourished children to facilities for health care, treatment, and also HIV testing under PEPFAR-funded activities... .. .. .

Madison Insuranc Lawrence Sikutwa & Associates, trading as Madison Insurance Group (Madison Group, or the Group or the company), was established in 1994 to hold and represent shareholding interest of management in Madison Insurance Company following the liquidation of Meridien International Bank, which was a holding company for Madison Insurance Company Limited.  Following the amendment of the Insurance Act in December 2005 to enforce a segregation of operation between life insurance and non-life insurance underwriting, Madison Insurance Company Limited was split into two business entities namely: Madison General Insurance Company (Zambia) Limited and Madison Life Insurance Company (Zambia) Limited.  The Group has also expanded to include Madison Investment Company Limited and Madison Health Solutions Limited.   The project consists of an equity investment of up to $2 million for a shareholding of up to 15% (IFC Equity Investment) and a senior loan of up to $3 million (IFC Loan) to the Group.  Madison Group is the leading insurance group in Zambia.  The projects main objective is to strengthen and expand the operational capacity of Madison Group in Zambia.  The proposed investment allows IFC to: - support  mid-tier local insurance groups in the African region both through financial and non-financial assistance; - support the Group with its strategy of expanding its activities into property development and mortgage financing through its subsidiary Madison Investment Company Limited. The potential developmental, institutional and capacity building impact of the project is high.  The capitalization proposed for Madison will help reinforce the local insurance industry in Zambia and help the company better compete with foreign based insurers in the local and regional markets. This will in turn reduce the amount of capital leaving the country for the accounts of non-Zambian insurers.  IFC''s investment will help in the transformation of an existing local institution into a strong and viable private sector entity that will attract other foreign players into the Zambian insurance industry.  The investment will have an important demonstration effect in that it will result in an increase in the overall market size of private insurance in the country.   Insurance companies have a disproportionately high impact on economies because they are necessarily large investors who directly affect the general economy through their operations.  In order to settle claims that may arise, insurers invest excess premium income to build a portfolio of financial assets and income-producing real estate which can then be called upon to pay off any future claims that arise.  A vibrant insurance industry can be a reliable source of long-term capital, which is lacking in Zambia as well as in many African countries.  The provision of quality insurance is therefore crucial for the development of a healthy and dynamic private sector and long-term capital markets.
AB Bank Zambia Limited The project consists of an equity investment and technical assistance funding for the establishment and expansion of AB Bank Zambia (AB Zambia or ABZ).  ABZ will be a greenfield microfinance bank sponsored by Access Microfinance Holding AG (AccessHolding), an investment company, and LFS Financial Systems, an associated German consulting firm with recognized expertise in microfinance. The Bank will specialize in providing a broad range of financial services to urban and semi-urban micro, small and medium enterprises as well as low income individuals in Zambia. It is expected that after five years the Bank will have eight branches, a loan portfolio of $50 million, comprising over 25,000 customers. The purpose of the project is to expand crucial financial services to a sector that rarely has access to services offered by formal financial institutions. The project will have a high development impact considering that microfinance has been shown to play a major positive role in reducing poverty and unemployment in developing countries.  The initiative will strengthen the provision of microfinance services in Zambia, where access to finance is limited for low income populations.  By creating a new institution able to sustain microfinance on commercial terms and following best practices, the project has the potential to generate a substantial increase in the long term availability of financial services for the poor.  The project will also show local banks that sound microfinance can be sustainable and generate attractive returns.  As a consequence, it is expected that the interest of local banks in the micro enterprise and SME sector will be strengthened.

Bayport Zambia Bayport Financial Services Limited, Zambia (Bayport or the Company) is a payroll based lender operating in Zambia. The Company has been operating since 2002 and provides personal unsecured credit to formally employed low and middle income earners, predominantly civil servants and employees of large corporations. The loans extended by Bayport are mostly used for housing/home improvement, education, and small business start-ups. Bayport also offers domestic money transfer services. In the project under consideration, IFC will support Bayport to expand its lending operations to the low and middle income population by anchoring its inaugural domestic bond. - Financial inclusion: increased access to financial services for the low and middle income population in Zambia, including those living in rural areas. Such financial inclusion is expected to be the source of other benefits namely: home improvement, education, small business start-ups/job creation.   Other related development impacts expected from the project include: i) contributing to building a domestic capital market, which is a critical ingredient to the financing of the domestic economy; ii) contributing to strengthening the regulated micro-lending space in Zambia as IFC provides needed capital and reinforces the capacity of the sector leader.
AEF VG LIMITED VG Limited is a large construction and trading company based in Ndola. The company is a family company which has been in the construction business for the last 37 years. In addition to construction, the company is involved in provision of rented accommodation to tourists and business persons, interior design, potteries and other miscellaneous trading activities .  The project will have the following developmental impacts: (1) expansion of a vital support sector which is an essential element of industrial development in the Copperbelt; (2) increased competition in an area with only one international standard hotel; (3) creation of 30 new jobs.   The jobs created will have a direct positive impact on the life of at least 300 people. The IFC investment is consistent with the World Bank Group''s strategy for Zambia, as it relates to the promotion of private sector growth and participation in sectors of the economy which were previously under government control inorder to increase competition, capacity and efficiency. IFC''s loan support will have a positive impact on the Zambian economy and is critical in completing the financing plan in a country with very little long term finance. The IFC investment will also have a demonstration effect and more international organizations will feel more comfortable in investing in Zambia''s SME sector.
BOP Bayport Zam The proposed project is a 5-year senior secured loan, with a 2-year grace period, of up to US$20 million in ZMW equivalent (approx. ZMW340 million) to Bayport Financial Services Limited (Bayport or the Company), a leading NBFI in Zambia. The Project will be processed under IFCs Base of the Pyramid (BOP) Program to support the Company in increasing access to finance and scaling up lending operations to un(der)served individuals in Zambia for productive uses (the Project) and will be supported by the IDA-Private Sector (PSW) Blended Finance Facility (BFF) and the IDA-PSW Local Currency Facility (LCF). The most significant expected project-level outcome for the project is access to finance for low to middle income individuals to support economic activity and resilience in the aftermath of the COVID-19 crisis. Beyond the project outcome, IFC anticipates that the Project will support resilience amongst microfinance and Base of the Pyramid (BOP) finance providers catalyzing investments in the sector by demonstrating the viability of lending to BoP providers and crowding in other sources of international and domestic finance in support of these lenders.
