Integrating TB and malaria services into Maternal and Neonatal Child Health In Ethiopia, approximately 68% of the population is at risk of malaria with nearly a million people detected annually. The TB incidence in 2018 was 151 per 100,000, with yearly detection exceeding 110,000.  More than three million women give birth annually in Ethiopia and are equally or more at risk of acquiring malaria or TB. The aforementioned complexities of these diseases in maternal and child health apply to all parts of Ethiopia. However, the four regions of Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella, and Somali are more likely to be affected due to relatively weak health systems and poor health seeking behaviours. These regions have vulnerable communities due to their pastoralist and semi pastoralist lifestyles and are also affected by calamities such as droughts and disease outbreaks.

Amref operates in these areas to mainly implement Reproductive Maternal Neonatal and Child Health programs. Through an existing Amref-led Transform HDR project, Amref will contribute towards tackling these challenges. The existing project aims to increase health access and address vulnerable communities. The first intermediate result of Transform HDR focusses on access to healthcare, mainly maternal and child health (MCH) and malaria, in the developing regional states of Afar, Benishangul-Gumuz, Gambella and Somali. 

Through this programme, Amref will continue to address the gaps in malaria and TB in mothers and children, in order to build upon current achievements and maximise impact. Additionally, to combat the detrimental effects of COVID-19, each activity will consider preventative measures such as physical distancing, hand hygiene and appropriate use of face masks. The programme’s overall objective is to improve prevention, detection, diagnosis and management of TB and malaria among mothers and children in developing regional states of Ethiopia. Specific objectives are: (1) Improve the capacity of frontline health workers for effective diagnosis, referrals and treatment of TB and malaria among women and children by integrating with MCH activities; (2) External Quality Assurance (EQA) on laboratory services for malaria, TB and lab services for ANC; (3) Knowledge management to improve integrated programming to strengthen PHC as a means to UHC. Project outcomes will be (1) 80% of targeted health workers can effectively diagnose and manage TB and malaria among ANC and under 5 clinic followers, (2) 95% EQA Concordance rate for malaria and TB diagnostics in over 80% of health facilities, and (3) 80% of data completeness from targeted health facilities The programme will train 320 health workers on malaria diagnosis/management, 375 health workers on TB diagnosis/management and 70 lab technicians on proper diagnosis and EQA mechanism. The project will also directly reach 72 health centres, 3 hospitals and 295 community health posts for EQAs/diagnosis quality assessments.

TIBA Project The project consists of equipment financing and the strengthening of the balance sheet of Telepuerto Internacional Buenos Aires S.A.s (TIBA or the Company) to support its growth plans in Argentina and the LAC region.  TIBA is LACs leading independent teleport operator, providing key services to the broadcasting industrys value added chain. The Company began its activities in 1993.  It operates a state-of-the art teleport in Martinez, Province of Buenos Aires. Specifically, the Companys services include: 
Content management services, such as digitalization, storage, ads insertion and subtitling; 
Resale of satellite capacity, on both a permanent and occasional bases; and
Uplink services of both data and video.

TIBAs services allow the broadcast industry to leverage under-utilized media and telecoms infrastructure and increase availability of content and information in the region. Its location in Argentina will allow the country to move further up the value chain in the information technology/ media space, thus creating highly specialized technical jobs, promoting local generation of content and increasing the affordability and accessibility of content by charging its clients a fraction of the cost of managing these services in-house. Outsourcing: TIBA is performing in Argentina services that are otherwise carried out in-house (mainly in the US) by Tier 1 content providers (i.e., Disney, Fox, ESPN, etc.). By outsourcing, the industry achieves efficiency, as broadcasters concentrate in their core business of producing content, while players like TIBA specialize and bring higher service quality to critical parts of the value added chain.  

Position Buenos Aires as a LAC media and entertainment center: Over the last few years, Tier 1 broadcasters have relocated Spanish-speaking support and creative resources to Argentina, lured by low/medium salary levels for an otherwise highly creative HR pool. 

Targeted advertisement: By providing efficiences (i.e., in spectrum usage, in compression, in content management, etc.), TIBA allows its customers to open new feeds of the same channels.  This permits the streaming of more relevant and dedicated content and advertising to local audiences throughout LAC.

Non-traditional, high-value added export: Over 90% of TIBA's revenues consist of export of services, thus increasing fiscal revenues and hard currency generation for the country.

Increased delivery of content: Virtuous cycle, whereby more content drives new distribution channels and services, which create more demand and larger audiences. This improves cost structures and economies of scale, which provides better access to affordable relevant information.

Employment: TIBA contributes to increasing the employment of technical skilled labor.  The Company is seen as cutting edge in LAC's broadcasting industry.  For many technicians, TIBA is their first job, thanks to agreements with Engineering universities.

 - Environmental Effects: the Project will promote long-term lending to energy efficient projects and renewable energy sources that have lower environmental impact and GHG emissions.
  
Market Impact Assessment:
 - Sustainability: financing for additional energy sources will help mitigate energy shortage and improve energy self-sufficiency in Argentina.
Aceitera General Deheza II The Project:  AGD, a long-standing Argentine client, has approached IFC to obtain pre-export financing to complete its soybean purchase program for the 2002 harvest.  The unsettled economic environment is preventing AGD from raising the required pre-export financing lines to complete its planned purchasing program of 4 million tons of oilseeds in 2002.  This is at a time when the oilseeds sector expects a record crop, and soybean crushing margins are at 10 year highs.      IFC''s Role: IFC is assisting a long-standing client and one of Argentina''s top five exporters to access pre-export financing during one of Argentina''s worst economic crises.  AGD''s direct competitors are international traders who are able to fund their activities on international markets and remain largely isolated from the Argentine crisis.  Syndicate banks have indicated that they would only participate if coming through the B Loan umbrella.       Development Impact: i) IFC will provide dwindling pre-export financing to a local company in order to ensure it rides out one of the worst economic crisis faced by Argentina; ii) project funds will also ensure that the company is able to purchase cash its beans from farmers thereby providing urgent liquidity to the latter; iii) IFC''s B Loan umbrella is also key to AGD''s commercial banks, which have expressed their support for the company but are not willing to increase their exposure in the current environment; and iv) the project supports one of Argentina''s top export sectors, the oilseed sector, which today accounts for close to 20% ot total Argentine exports.

  The proposed IFC loan will support the road infrastructure investment program of the Province of Cordoba, Argentina. More specifically, the project consists of: (i) the construction of 17 kms of new dual-carriage ways, underpasses and bridges to close the ring-road surrounding the capital of Cordoba; (ii) the construction of an avenue to allow for an accelerated entryway from the ring road to the center of the City and the main intercity bus station; and (iii) the pavement of approximately 68 kms of roads in Alpa Corral area; collectively the "Project"  
  
   The Project supports the Provinces strategy to invest in critical urban infrastructure that will enhance mobility, but also improve the connectivity of the capital with rural areas and promote tourism development. 1. Contribution to Improved Productivity and Integration: The Project will allow for decreased travel time, transportation costs and traffic congestion thereby contributing to higher productivity and economic growth. The investments will enhance transportation efficiency within the metropolitan area and also within the Province.
2. Contribution to Social Inclusion: Urban poor and other vulnerable groups tend to live in the outer parts of the metropolitan area the Province's capital. Enhanced connectivity with the main centers provide these groups with better access to jobs and may allow the areas where they live to be better incorporated in the Province's economy.
3. Environmental Sustainability: By alleviating congestion in the roads network, the Project is expected to lead to significant fuel savings and CO2 emission reduction, thereby contributing to reduction in air pollution, a key health hazard.
4. Improved Safety: Currently traffic in unfinished portions of the ring road flows through narrow streets with limited visibility and multiple intersections. Once the investment is completed, commuters, pedestrians, and inter-municipal traffic will flow through express lanes with fewer intersections and safe pedestrian crossings. This will result in improved safety and reduced travel time.
5. Job creation and local linkages: The Project will create direct jobs opportunities during construction stages. It is also expected to increase business opportunities to local contractors and support significant indirect jobs in the supply chain.

Arla AFISA Project The proposed investment consists of an IFC A Loan and B Loan for an aggregated amount of $56 million to Arla Foods Ingredients S.A. (AFISA or the Company). AFISA is an Argentina-based whey processing joint venture founded by Arla Foods Ingredients and SanCor.  The IFC investment will support expansions to the Companys whey intake from ~900,000 to ~1,200,000 MT per year and permeate drying capacity from 24,000 to 45,000 MT per year (the Project). 1)	The whey processing industry is a significant value-added business that is in line with the overall agribusiness sector as having a multiplier effect that plays a part in supporting smallholders. AFISA''s own operations indirectly reach ~1,550 farmers in rural Argentina, which is expected to rise by 350 farmers post Project implementation. 2)	The Project promotes food security by supporting safe production in the dairy and whey industry, which plays an important role in the food and nutritional security of a relatively large proportion of infants in developing economies 3)	The Project promotes E&S sustainability standards as whey is typically used as land fertilizer or added to calf and pig feed as nutritional supplements. By increasing the economic value of whey, a milk derivative previously considered to be waste, processors such as AFI help reduce such threats of environmental pollution 4)	Central and local government will benefit through increased taxation revenues from high-value exports. As ~90% of these revenues are derived from exports, the Government''s strategy for higher foreign currency generation will also be supported
