NMB SB DCM Project The proposed IFC investment supports the issuance of 3-year sustainability bonds (SB) denominated in TZS and in USD in Tanzania by NMB Bank (NMB or the Bank), with an own-account subscription of up to US$30 million equivalent. IFC will act as co-anchor for NMBs TZS denominated SB and aims to mobilize third-party investors in the Bank's USD-denominated tranche (the Project). The Project will be supported by the IDA20 Private Sector Window Local Currency Facility (IDA PSW LCF) as described in the Blended Finance Section. The Project has an Anticipated Impact Measurement and Monitoring (AIMM) rating of Good, based on an AIMM score of 66. The most significant, expected Project-level outcomes are increased access to climate finance and MSME finance in Tanzania. At the market level, IFC will promote greater market integration by introducing one of the first publicly listed Sustainability Bonds to be issued by the second-largest Tanzanian bank. This is expected to strengthen Tanzanias financial sector and help establish capital markets as a viable tool for channeling private sector financing to support sustainability in Tanzania and the countrys inclusive growth priorities.
AEF 2000 Industries The project is a greenfield project which will construct a confectionery factory.   As well as providing high-quality confectionary to Tanzania, a significant proportion of output  is expected to be exported to neighboring countries.        The project has a strong development impact:        (a)  While Kenya''s competitiveness as the industrial center for East Africa has declined markedly in recent years, that of Tanzania has instead improved significantly.  Despite this, inward investment in industrial projects has been limited.  The proposed project should help demonstrate the attractiveness of Dar es Salaam as an industrial location;  (b)  The project is forecast to create 150 jobs;  and (c)  Generate foreign currency earnings of over $ 2 million per annum within five years, as well as saving forex currently spent on confectionery imports.     IFC''s  Role       is :  (a) Long-term lending: in Tanzania there is a dearth of term finance;  (b) Catalyst:  IFCs participation  in the project is expected to be instrumental in bringing in a domestic financial institution;  and (c)  Marketing and business development assistance:  in particular, the IFC consultant has helped the management of 2000 Industries map out an export strategy and refine their business strategy.  Also, the IFC project team has been exploring ways in which the distribution and marketing methods used can have a positive social impact.
Kamal Steel IFC is considering a US $6.0 million IFC A Loan to Kamal Steel Limited (Kamal Steel), a leading steel bar manufacturer in Tanzania. The funding will be utilized to support incremental working capital for steel production in Tanzania. 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 US$6.0 million as described in the Blended Finance Section. The most significant expected Project-level outcomes are: (i) economy-wide effects through value-addition and job creation in the target countries; and (ii) environmental effects through improved resource efficiency in production processes. Beyond these outcomes, IFC expects the Project to promote regional supply chains integration, enhance forward linkages, and support the growth of Tanzanias construction and infrastructure sectors.
CRDB TZ Sustainability Bond The Project entails an investment of up to US$60 million in Tanzanian Shillings (TZS) equivalent in a senior unsecured Green bond with a tenor of five years (Green Bond or Bond) by CRDB Bank Plc. (CRDB or the Bank). CRDB expects to issue a US$300 million multi-currency Medium Term Note (MTN) program in various tranches aimed at financing green, social, and sustainability projects. The project pertains to an investment in the first tranche of up to TZS 40 billion (approximately US$16 million), with a Green Shoe Option of TZS 15 billion (approximately US$6million). This is CRDBs first Green Bond and the first to be issued in Tanzania. The proceeds will be used to provide access to finance for green transactions and will be in accordance with CRDBs Green Bond Framework to finance or refinance eligible sub-projects that would contribute to sustainable and inclusive growth in Tanzania. IFC intends to anchor up to 40 percent of the entire program, however, IFCs own account investment will be limited to no more than US$60 million [or TZS equivalent] in the first tranche. The Project is anticipated to increase access to climate, affordable housing and MSME/WMSME finance in Tanzania. At the market level, IFC will promote greater market integration by introducing one of the first publicly listed sustainability bonds by the largest Tanzanian bank, thereby introducing an investable asset class to the market to raise medium to longer term funding for eligible assets. This is expected to strengthen Tanzanias financial sector and help establish its capital markets as a viable tool for channeling private sector financing to support sustainability in Tanzania and the countrys inclusive growth priorities.
Exim Bank of Tanzania With its total assets of close to US$31 million and net worth of US$4.3 million as of September 30, 2001, Exim Bank is the market leader in its niche business of pre-export crop financing as well as trade and financial services to small and medium enterprises (SMEs). The bank has maintained high growth, profitability, and portfolio quality since its inception four years ago. As a result, it was able to double its capital base in less than three years. Given domestic resource constraints for funding for its core business and increased competition among the banks for resources, Exim Bank is planning to adapt a strategy of diversifying its funding sources and mix, including mobilizing further domestic deposits, public equity in the near term, and raising funding from international financial institutions such as IFC and others active in the region.      The project is expected to have a significant development impact.  IFCs funds would enable the bank to expand its operations in much needed areas of financing: namely, Tanzanias economic back-bone, crop exports. If IFC were to play a role in Tanzania''s economy and financial sector, Exim Bank is a good route.  Furthermore, the financing would help Exim bank enhance/strengthen its capital base; diversify its shareholding structure before public listing, and expand its growing portfolio.  IFC will also support Exim Bank''s efforts to mobilize additional resources from other lenders in the region.    IFC has three roles in this project: (1)    developmental role   : by supporting a sector that generates the highest employment and contributes close to 55% of the GDP, IFC is playing a modest role in supporting the growth of a key economic sector; (2)    institutional building   :  by enhancing the capital base and funding capacity of an emerging export oriented bank, IFC will continue to play a role in the development of Tanzania''s private banking industry. Furthermore, with IFC involvement, the bank''s profile would be enhanced and its positioned strengthen; and (3)    capacity building   : IFC staff is also working with the SME department in analyzing Exim Bank''s institutional capabilities in serving its largely SME market.  As a result of this mapping exercise, staff working with SME department will work in developing appropriate SME systems focused on strengthening the bank''s underwriting and monitoring skills.
AEF Boundary Hill The project is to establish an exclusive up-market 16-bed lodge on the boundary of Tarangire National Park in northern Tanzania.  The lodge will be within a 35,000-acre private game conservation area that will be established as part of the project.  The lodge will target wealthy tourists seeking a unique safari experience. BHL within the conservation area will offer activities such as night-game drives and walking safaris that are not allowed in the national park.   The project has a very strong developmental impact as: (i) BHL is the first tourist facility in Tanzania where a local community is involved as a major shareholder; (ii) the creation of a conservation area will enhance the preservation of the diversity and numbers of flora and fauna in the eco system by stopping the land from turning into agricultural land and protect one of the few remaining corridors left for wildlife to migrate through; (iii)  the project will generate additional income for the Lolkisale village from royalties, with the funds used for community facilities such as schools and health centers; (iv) it will create employment for 20 people with the attendant benefits in training, health and safety; and (v) it will generate approximately $380,000 each year in foreign exchange.    IFCs role is: (i) Long term financing:  IFC is one of the few sources of long term financing in Tanzania.  (ii)  Project structuring, appraisal and implementation:  This is the sponsors first major hotel undertaking.  IFCs consultant has provided considerable input to the facilities required in an up-market lodge and marketing suggestions. (iii) Environment and Social issues: Financed by IFC trust funds, IFC consultants together with IFCs environmental and technical department have provided substantial assistance to the sponsor on establishing programs to manage social issues and distribution of funds to the local community.

NER Marriage: No Child's Play Niger What - a 5 year programme (2016-2020) to reduce child marriage and its adverse effects on young women and girls. Where - India, Pakistan, Malawi, Niger and Mali. The prevalence of child marriage is high in all of these countries. Niger has the highest rate of child marriage in the world. Every 3 in 4 girls marry before their 18th birthday (76%), whereas India has the highest number of child brides in the world. More than 10 million women aged 20 to 24 years old are married before the age of 15. Within countries, we will aim to target geographic “hotspots” with high proportions and numbers of girls at risk of child marriage. This includes rural and hard to reach communities. With Whom - Working closely together as an alliance with in-country governmental and non-governmental partners, the four alliance members, Save the Children the Netherlands, Oxfam Novib, Simavi and Population Council, will coordinate with other Dutch, international (UNICEF and UNFPA) and national programmes aimed at reducing child marriage and collaborate with the Netherlands Ministry of Foreign affairs and its embassies. Where possible, we will align our advocacy work with Girls not Brides. theory of Change and strategies - The MTBA will work in countries where child marriage prevalence is an important impediment to achieving adolescent wellbeing. The two crucial components of the Theory of Change that we will apply in each country include girls’ empowerment and changing harmful customs, traditions, norms and practices. To ensure structural cross-sectoral prevention and response towards girls at risk of early marriage and already married, we will strengthen child protection systems in countries where this is opportune. We will advocate for the development or amendment of laws, policies and/or action plans and the implementation thereof. 1. Empowering at risk-, and already married adolescents, girls in particular, with life skills education (LSE), CSE and SRHR information. We will strengthen adolescents' protective assets and equip them with knowledge and skills to navigate the challenges and opportunities in the transitions from puberty to adulthood. 2. Providing alternatives to child marriage and mitigate the impact on married girls, through enhancing access to education-, economic opportunities-, and child protection systems for girls and their families. 3. Increasing access to SRHR services for young people. To achieve outcome 3, SRHR services need to be available, affordable, acceptable and appropriate. Communities need to allow unmarried and married young people to access SRH services, and healthcare providers need to be able to deliver quality youth-friendly SRHR services. Young people can be linked to services through outreach and voucher systems. 4. Changing social norms. Challenging harmful customs, traditions, norms and practices is crucial in addressing child marriage. 5. Inﬂuencing legal and policy frameworks. A supportive policy and legal environment is crucial to our cause. Girls at risk of child marriage and married girls and their family members.
