Nuevo Banco de Santa Fe SA This project responds to a lack of long-term financing for small and medium sized corporates in the Province of Santa Fe.  Capital scarcity as a result of the recession in the country has been a major constraint for even the more efficient corporates in the Province to modernize and invest in property, plant and equipment or expand to meet competition or take advantage of new opportunities. BSFE has substantial short-term liquidity but lacks the long-term funding needed to finance these operations. Under todays market conditions, with access open only for top-quality credits, the ability of Santa Fes small and medium sized corporates to borrow will remain minimal, and limited to a few blue chip companies for short maturities at high rates.      This facility would help provide longer term funding for Argentina, specifically the Province of Santa Fe, while developing the local capital market, reducing the dependence on international investors, and improving the efficiency of local small and medium sized corporates. Furthermore, the indirect support of the acquisition of the Bank by BGN, leading to the  increased consolidation of the system, translates into higher operating efficiency and improved banking services in the provinces.
Molinos II Project The 2001 recession and following early 2002 financial, political, and economic crisis in Argentina led to a significant cut in Molinos' credit lines.  In order to counteract the local prevailing environment, Molinos changed its sales mix and increased its exports from 25% of sales in FY2001 to 47% in 1H02 and expects to close FY2002 with over 50% exports.  To assist Molinos overcome short-term capital constraints and increase exports to the envisaged levels, IFC intends to structure a short-term, pre-export finance, export receivables-backed facility. The facility will be renewable annually for a maximum of three years.

Developmental Impact:
The project is designed to alleviate the immediate constraints faced by the oilseeds sector in Argentina and to help maintain its competitiveness in the face of a remunerative world market but a very volatile political, social, and economic environment.  The following benefits are expected from the project:
Financing the marketing of the 2003 crop (soybean, sunflower, and wheat aimed at the export market.)  The proposed project will enable Molinos to leverage its export receivables and extend financing to farmers.  
Preserving the supply chain  Molinoss strategy has been to position itself as one of the primary originators of oilseeds and grains in Argentina to compete with global traders who are able to leverage their considerable network of export destinations worldwide.  The venture will enable Molinos to secure its grains and oilseed procurement to satisfy both the internal and export markets.  
Demonstration impact  IFCs support to the Argentine grain/oilseed supply chain is expected to send a signal to foreign financial institutions to focus their attention on the true nature of the credit risk in these operations.  This may lead to an increased appetite by foreign banks to increase their exposure to the better corporates -- something essential for Argentina to move towards an export-led recovery.

IFC Role:
IFCs participation in the proposed project will: 
provide capital not accessible today from the markets and enhance the operational and financial sustainability of a major domestic agro-exporter; 
ensure the participation of foreign banks through a B-Loan under a challenging country scenario; and 
protect an existing IFC investment.

CISDA  is proposing a 12 months food security and livelihood support to be implemented in Kpaile Payam Wau County, Western Bahr-El Ghazal.  The Project intervention will cover the main and lean agricultural season agricultural support. The outcome of the project is increased access to food through own production among-st 28800 beneficiaries (4800 Households)  in IPC 3  and 4  and the resilience capacity of these households increased through the main season and lean season agricultural campaigns. This outcome, when achieved, will contribute to the overall project objective of protecting the 28,800 of vulnerable food insecure populations affected by hunger and malnutrition in   Wau State, Western Bahr- El Ghazal State. This objective is in line with HRP strategic objective 2 and is in support of FSL cluster objective 2. The project falls within the CERF framework of addressing complex emergency, it is the life-saving and time-critical response. It is consistent with the basic humanitarian principles of humanity, neutrality, and impartiality. The project has taken into consideration the vulnerability of a particular group, cross-cutting issues, integrated programming, supporting the principle of good humanitarianism, do no harm, and empowerment of the affected population.
The exact geographical scope of the project is in the Bomas of  Gitan, Taban, Kapile, and Rafili in Kapile Payam, Wau County. . The Programmatic delivery approach is through direct distribution of inputs and promotion of resilience light training in improved agronomic and fishing practices, including reducing post-harvest losses and cooking techniques. The targeted beneficiaries will receive crop kits, fishing kits, vegetable kits, and hoes for mains season and fishing kits, vegetable kits, and hoes for the lean season. Technical messages will be provided to farmers through the use of radio, extension staff, posters to mitigate against the latest COVID-19 pandemic, Desert Locust outbreak  and to help build the capacity of farmers. CISDA will help support the communities to remain safe throughout the COVID pandemic by sharing messages on radio and do thorough sensitization throughout the pandemic.  Resilience light training will complement the distribution but to only one demonstration plot and were 25 leader farmers due to the COVID pandemic. CISDA proposes to efficiently deliver the seeds and tools for the main season in May which coincides with the best time of cultivation and in November for the lean season support.
Emergency response survey, clearance and risk education for conflict affected populations in Magwi The Danish Refugee Council/Danish Deming Group (DDG) proposes to implement a comprehensive mine action response in Magwi County in Eastern Equatoria State and Lainya County in Central Equatoria State. The overall goal of the project is to improve the physical protective environment and increase humanitarian access through the removal and clearance of hazardous areas. DDG will deploy a Multi-Task Team (MTT) capable of conducting Battle Area Clearance (BAC) and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) to enhance safety and freedom of movement across Magwi and Lainya Counties. Both Magwi and Lainya Counties are locations which serve as potential transit routes and initial locations for spontaneous returnees arriving back from Uganda. The project target group will be 8,000 men, women, boys, and girls living in or using areas contaminated by explosive remnants of war (ERW) and tasks which will support the multi-sector humanitarian response in the area will be prioritised. 

The respective activities proposed under this project are further elaborated below:

BAC - the MTT will be able to act as a BAC capacity, performing static clearance activities across larger, clearly defined areas (identified through the above data collection activities and technical survey as appropriate). The MTT will be trained in Manual Mine Clearance (MMC) drills, to prepare for the event that a mine is identified within any given BAC site. 

EOD – where DDG receives request to support from humanitarian actors, or immediate threats to life, technical capacities within the team will be deployed to mark identified hazards. 

DDG will initiate the project by deploying the team to Magwi town where a light base camp will be established, and training and accreditation will take place. Magwi County will remain the focus for this project, in line with Mine Action Sub Cluster priorities, with the option to deploy to Lainya County based on identified need throughout the project’s duration.
Common Transport Services for Humanitarian Partners in South Sudan The Common Transport Services (CTS) is a free-for-user service that transports key humanitarian supplies on behalf of humanitarian actors. CTS serves as a critical link in the supply chain, contributing in enabling products and materials that arrive from regional and international suppliers to rapidly move onwards to partners located deep in the field. IOM works with more than 80 unique agencies and moves on average 12,000 to 18,000 MTs of cargo yearly since 2011 in key operational locations in Jonglei, Unity and Greater Upper Nile Region, in Humanitarian Logistics Hubs (Malakal, Bentiu) and in Rumbek, Bor, Juba and Wau. IOM will maintain heavy vehicles and support in transporting cargo from the main ports of dispatch via air, road and river and will continue the management of common warehouses in Malakal. These logistics hubs will support directly the frontline response activities at SSHF prioritized locations for 2020.

Through the effective management of the CTS, IOM aims to support organizations’ preparedness measures to mitigate risk associated with increased insecurity, looting/theft of humanitarian supplies, critical access impediments to very vulnerable people. Together with other common and free-for-user services provided by the Logistic Cluster, CTS aims to reduce expensive transport costs in order to support the timely response to the needs of the affected populations. With this funding, IOM will directly work with 80 humanitarian organizations located in different areas enabling them to deliver critical life-saving humanitarian services and assistance items.
Increase access to treatment and prevention of SAM and MAM children and AM-PLW in Akobo West The nutrition program proposes this lifesaving nutrition project in contribution to the reduction of morbidity and overall mortality of children under-five and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) due to acute malnutrition through integrated CMAM and MIYCN interventions. SCI will provide timely and quality management of acute malnutrition (SC, OTP, TSFP) and Mother, Infant and Young Child Nutrition (MIYCN) services to increase equitable access and utilization of nutrition specific and sensitive interventions to children under five years, pregnant and lactating women. The nutrition program will reach a total of 26,860 affected people: 13,285 children between 6-59 months of age (5,979 girls and 7,306 boys), 13,215 pregnant and lactating women and 360 men in Buong, Diror,  Barmach and Walgak payams of Akobo west . The program will run in integration with the WASH, Health and FSL services of other partner organizations operating in the area.

Save the Children has been operating in Akobo West for the past three years, running a stabilization center and 9 OTP/TSFP sites (7 static and 2 outreach). The program reports of the last few months have indicated an alarming increase in the number of food insecure women, men, girls and boys. The IPC classification of December 2020 (phase 4) confirmed the severity of the situation, making an urgent appeal for increased scaling up of treatment of severe and moderate acute malnutrition. A parallel increase of nutrition services for severe and moderate acute malnutrition, particularly in less accessible areas through static OTP/TSFP sites and outreach programs is crucial in addressing the nutritional needs of girls and boys under 5 and PLW. Therefore, Save the Children will establish an additional 5 OTP/TSFP and 3 outreach sites to deliver both treatment of acute malnutrition and MIYCN intervention to address the dire needs of the affected population in Buong, Diror,  Barmach and Walgak payams of Akobo west .
