B. Continental The project involves an IFC financing package of up to $130 million equivalent to BBVA Banco Continental S.A. (the Bank or the Continental), one of Perus leading financial institutions.  The project would consist of:   - a senior loan of up to $100 million (or its equivalent in Peruvian Soles or PEN) with the objective of supporting an expansion of the Banks residential mortgage lending operations in Peru; and - a $30 million credit facility to be used to develop the Banks sustainable lending  portfolio, particularly in the areas of supply chain (forestry and timber) and energy efficiency.   Continental is the second-largest commercial bank in Peru, offering a wide range of banking services to its more than 200,000 clients. As of March 2006, Continental had a total of 25.26% of the assets of the Peruvian banking system, 26.38% of loans and 24.02% of deposits. The Bank services its clients through a network of 215 branches, 3,023 employees and 336 ATMs.  The Bank views the growth of its mortgage operations as one of its strategic priorities and has been marketing this product actively over the last few years. IFCs investment would help support the banks growth strategy by matching the growing asset maturity with a long term financing facility in the same currency. The project is expected to have a strong developmental impact in the following areas:  - it will support Continentals growth plans on the housing finance business, thus expanding the availability of residential mortgages and enhancing home ownership, while stimulating demand for labor, materials and other supplies for the housing industry; - it will improve the financial fundamentals of the Bank by reducing maturity mismatches, and diversifying funding sources; - it will increase access to finance to the SME sector, particularly those in the timber/forestry business and those adopting energy efficiency measures, by engaging in sustainable lending practices which promote economic and environmental benefits.
Compass - Fondo de Inversion Adelanto de Efectivo The proposed project consists of an up to US$21 million (equivalent in PEN) investment in quotas of the fund Compass Fondo de Inversion Adelanto de Efectivo (the Fund), a fund managed by Compass Group SAFI S.A. (Compass Peru) that invests in receivables focused on financing to SMEs (Suppliers) through reverse factoring and factoring. IFC anticipates that the project will increase access to finance for local SMEs, helping to narrow the existing financing gap in Peru and other countries in Latin America. The project will have an indirect impact on job growth, as it allows SMEs to enhance their working capital to keep growing. The project will increase the capillarity and alternatives of provision of funds to SMEs in a diversity of sectors in the economy. The discount of the receivables represents a cash advance to SMEs, who benefit from higher liquidity that ultimately results in an improved cash management and better allocation of resources.

Beyond the project-level impact, IFC anticipates that the project will increase the competitiveness of the Peruvian financial markets through: i) the promotion of the factoring market by addressing the issues of funding availability, and ii) the development of the asset manager industry by supporting a factoring fund as a new asset class for the institutional investors.
CajaArequipa SD1 The proposed Project consists of an up to US$50 million subordinated loan to Caja Municipal de Ahorro y Crédito de Arequipa S.A. (Caja Arequipa or the Caja). Through this project, IFC will support the strengthening of the Cajas capital to support loan growth for Peruvian micro small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and women owned MSMEs. By supporting Caja Arequipa to finance MSMEs, IFC best positions the private sector to support the economic recovery process, shortening the time it will take for the most vulnerable to return to their traditional income-earning opportunities.
Education Project - El Comercio IFC is considering supporting Proyectos Educativos Integrales del Peru S.A.C. (PEIP or the Company), a company operating in the Peruvian education sector.   The proceeds of the investment will be used to support PEIPs expansion plans in the sector, which include expansion plans across all market segments: technical training, university education and K-12 schools. The project is expected to (i) expand access and quality of education to students in K-12 and tertiary level; (ii) provide employment opportunities for local teachers and skilled administrative professionals; and (iii) set new local standards, by demonstrating the viability for privately run education institutions to provide good quality education and employability
Edpyme Confianza The project involves a PEN6.7 million senior loan to Edpyme Confianza (approximately $2.0 million), a specialized Peruvian microfinance institution working with microentrepreneurs in the countrys central highlands, a large portion of whom are located in rural and semi-rural areas. The project will diversify Confianzas funding base and provide it term financing to expand its loan portfolio and offer longer maturities to its microenterprise clients. IFCs financing would enable Confianza to provide approximately 11,000 additional microenterprise loans over the life of the project. As an EDPYME, Confianza is organized as a private stock company operating under the supervision of the Perus Superintendency of Banking and Insurance. Confianza has 167 staff, nine branch offices and currently serves 25,858 clients in the central highland regions of Junín, Huancayo and Ucayali, as well as Lima. The development impact of IFCs financing to Confianza is expected to be high, as it will support productive microenterprises, employment generation and social equity
Norvial S.A. In April 2001, the Government of Peru (GoP) opened an international bidding for the Ancon - Huacho - Pativilca section of the Panamericana highway.  Five consortia were prequalified, three presented a technical proposal, and two presented an economic proposal.  The consortium led by Graña y Montero S.A.A. [G&M] (which included JJC Contratistas Generales S.A. [JJC]) offered the highest canon and won the bid.  Norvial S.A. was established in October 2002 and signed a Concession Agreement with the GoP in January 2003.   

The project is to expand, improve, operate and maintain the Ancon  Huacho  Pativilca section of the Panamericana highway (the toll road) over a 25-year period.  The toll road is used to travel to and from cities and towns along the Pacific coast north of Lima, including Huaral, Huacho, Supe, Barranca and Pativilca.  It provides important activities - such as industrial manufacturing, agriculture, mining and fisheries  access to Peru's main port (Callao) and to Lima.  In the first 2½ years of the concession, main investments include: 
- construction of two bypasses (1+1 lane) with a total length of 34 km, 
      -  construction of two bridges with a total length of 587 m, 
-  construction of two interchanges, and 
-  rehabilitation in different sections of the highway.
Ransa Comercial S. A. Ransa Comercial S. A. (Ransa or the company) is an integrated logistics service company based in Lima, which specializes in handling, storage, and distribution of grains, frozen food, and other general cargoes as well as providing services such as in-bond warehouses, shipping agency, stevedoring services, and trucking.  Ransa is the market leader in the distribution and storage business in Peru.  It is a 100% subsidiary of the Romero Group.  In 1999 IFC approved a $10 million loan (IFC/R99-116) for Ransas expansion and improvement of operating efficiency; as of December 31, 2004, $6.25 million remains outstanding to IFC.

Ransas consolidated USD revenue has grown at an average of 15.2% p.a. from 2000 to 2003, storage volume has increased by 7.8% p.a. for the same period.  To accommodate this growth Ransa has been leasing space from Minka, a sister company operating wholesale and retail space in Lima.  Minka has given notice to Ransa that it will terminate the lease in 2004.

As a result of the lease termination, and to accommodate future growth, Ransa has now decided to embark on a capacity expansion project consisting mainly of the following components:

-  the construction of a 13,500-m² warehouse for general merchandise, 
-  the construction of a 15,000-m² warehouse for distribution, and 
-  the acquisition of a 86,600-m² plot.  

In addition the project includes investments in MIS, other capital expenditures, and debt refinancing.
Agrokasa Expansion Sociedad Agricola Drokasa S.A. (Agrokasa or the company) was established in 1996. Agrokasa is a leading grower and exporter of asparagus and table grapes in Peru accounting for 16% of Perus fresh green asparagus exports and 29% of its table grape exports. The company makes use of Perus natural comparative advantages and focuses exclusively on premium export markets in the northern hemisphere. 

In November 2005, in an open bidding process, the company purchased the assets of Agro Guayabito en Liquidacion, an existing asparagus operation in Barranca and Supe, 200 km North of Lima . The project consists of the purchase, refurbishment and upgrading of these assets in order to not only increase asparagus production but to also produce avocados.

The IFC Loan will support Agrokasas increase in revenues from asparagus exports and build on its nascent production of avocados, while continuing to diversify its markets.

2. Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2016 -2020 This project will provide immediate protection from the threat of mines and ERW for 30,532 vulnerable Afghans living in five provinces of Afghanistan, directly contributing to human security in 24 mine-impacted rural communities (Dutch Government Security and Rule of Law (SRoL)Policy Sub-Goal 1.1). The project will clear 441.5 hectares of land, destroy 30 tonnes of explosive ammunition, and provide support to 144 mine/ERW accident victims. It will contribute to wider stability and human security in the surrounding areas and therefore to the stability of Afghanistan as a whole. HALO’s work will offer four immediate benefits: physical protection, providing employment for the rural poor, assistance for victims of mine/ERW accidents, and improving rural livelihoods. Physical protection will be provided through three main activities: mine clearance, Mine Risk Education (MRE) and Weapons and Ammunition Disposal (WAD). These activities will be conducted by staff recruited from mine-impacted areas, who will be employed on a long-term basis to create security for their own communities, as specified in SRoL Sub-Goal 1.3. The project represents a significant investment in lives and livelihoods in rural communities neglected by many NGOs due to lack of funding and poor security, where all indicators for human security are poor, economic opportunities are few, and the government is unable to guarantee security. The project will also contribute to human security in a wider sense through increasing social stability and cohesion in the target communities. Migration from Afghanistan’s rural areas, driven by unemployment and instability, can be reduced by addressing these two issues through large-scale mine clearance and WAD work. The project will offer livelihoods opportunities: the majority of land cleared will be used for grazing, foraging, or crop cultivation, representing a vital source of income for members of rural mine-impacted communities. Of the total funding requested, HALO will provide funding to a local partner organisation, Accessibility Organisation for Afghan Disabled (AOAD), in a project which will deliver critical assistance to victims of mine and ERW accidents in the target communities, who are often excluded from political, economic, and social opportunities due to their disabilities.
1. Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2016 -2020 In response to the Dutch Government’s call for proposals for the Mine Action and Cluster Munitions Programme 2016-2020, the HALO Trust is delivering projects which will focus on providing stability and security in Afghanistan, Colombia, Palestinian Territories (West Bank), Somalia, Syria and Kosovo in support of ‘The Theory of Change for the security and rule of law policy priority in fragile situations’, and the international response to the current global migration crisis. HALO will conduct four out of the five activities listed in the Dutch Government policy framework, and will deliver the following outputs: Mine Risk Education, demining, Victim Assistance and Stockpile Destruction: In collaboration with national authorities, land cleared will be returned to impacted communities for productive use, including for agriculture, infrastructure, community development, and residential use. This project will also introduce a range of thematic and technical innovations over a four year period which will have a substantive impact upon the management and efficiency of the outputs delivered under each country project.
