ACBA-Credit Agricole Bank, Armenia The proposed project is a US$20 million loan to ACBA-Credit Agricole Bank, Armenias leading bank by total assets.  The proceeds of the loan will be used for on-lending to local micro, small, medium enterprises, in particular to companies in the agri-business segment. High, on account of:
-Continued SME support in an IDA country
-Sustain bank's capacity to lend to agricultural sector where it has 20% of its loan portfolio.
Ineco SME 2015 The proposed project comprises an IFC loan to Closed Joint Stock Company Inecobank (Inecobank) of up to US$20 million for up to five years (2-year grace period) to support Inecobanks acquisition of Closed Joint Stock Company ProCredit Bank Armenia (PCBA), thus promoting the first market-driven consolidation in Armenias banking sector and contributing to access to finance to small and medium enterprises (SME). IFCs loan will allow Inecobank to refinance PCBAs existing liabilities and extend its SME portfolio. The project is expected to contribute to private sector development in Armenia through increased small and medium enterprises'' access to finance. The proposed long-term financing is crucial for the sustainable development of the private sector across the country that would result in improved economic development and improved living conditions.
Inecobank Project The project is to provide a senior loan of up to $3 million to Inecobank (or the Bank), a small Armenian commercial bank. The IFC loan will broaden the Banks funding base and will be used for expansion of its financing of small and medium-sized businesses and strengthening its position in mortgage origination and consumer lending. As part of the project, IFC may also consider providing up to $1 million in equity.
Finca Armenia The proposed transaction aims to support FINCA UCO CJSC (Finca Armenia or the Company), a strong microfinance provider in Armenia, through a local currency loan which would facilitate resources for the Companys micro and small entrepreneurs (MSEs) portfolio expansion (the Project). Finca Armenia is a subsidiary of FINCA Microfinance Holding Company, LLC (FMH) a strategic IFC partner who promotes financial inclusion and access to financial services to the underserved, low-income people and communities through its twenty one subsidiaries in Africa, Latin America, Eurasia and the Middle East.   The Project would aim to achieve various objectives: (i) provide funding for Finca Armenias MSEs portfolio growth; (ii) reduce foreign exchange and maturity risk by providing long term local currency funding; and (iii) strengthen the relationship with FINCA International and FMH by supporting its subsidiaries. IFC''s long-term financing is expected to bring high development impact by enhancing Finca Armenia''s capacity to support productive micro enterprises, resulting in higher growth, employment generation and poverty reduction.
WCSS Inecobank ASLF The proposed project is a part of the IFC Armenia Short-Term Liquidity Facility (ASLF or Facility), which envisages providing short-term revolving trade financing to IFC client banks in Armenia for on-lending to local SME importers and exporters.  The majority of international trade in Armenia is conducted on a cash basis (e.g. prepayments, cash/documents or cash/goods basis); and, significantly, most of the SME trade flows are intra-regional such as Russia-Armenia, Ukraine-Armenia, and Georgia-Armenia, among others. Under the Facility, IFC will provide targeted banks with one-year USD liquidity facilities renewable, at IFCs option, up to three years in total; thereby, facilitating access to much-needed trade working capital to SMEs. Increased Access to Financing for SMEs: Limited access to finance is considered a key constraint to private sector growth. Increased access to finance is indispensable to grow the competitiveness of SMEs. By directly financing the short term US$ liquidity needs of local banks to support SME trade and foreign currency working capital finance needs, the facility will support SMEs and will have a positive impact on economic activity in Armenia.
Ameriabank RE The project is a senior loan of up to $15 million to Ameriabank (the Bank) to finance small hydro power plants in Armenia. As long-term funding is barely available in Armenia, a senior loan with a tenor of up to 8 years would enable the Bank to provide much needed long-term loans and facilitate the construction of such small-scale renewable energy projects. The project would support the construction of up to 20MW of small hydro power capacity, which will result in lower greenhouse gas emissions and reduced fuel imports for electricity production

GLoBe Nicaragua - strong local governments develop and implement an inclusive policy to strengthen local economy with a focus on sustainable food security Strong local governments develop and implement an inclusive policy to strengthen the local economy with a focus on sustainable food security VVSG’s program ‘GLoBe’ (Goed Lokaal Bestuur) is committed to good local governance for sustainable and coherent policies. Local governments can play an important role as duty bearers to contribute to safeguarding the human rights of their populations, to contribute to the realization of the SDGs and to improve living conditions for the population. In Nicaragua, GLoBe supports local governments developing qualitative and inclusive policies for local (food) economy. By developing this policy, the programme contributes to improved living conditions for small (food) producers and small (often female) entrepreneurs who process and sell food, both particularly vulnerable in the chain of food production, processing and sales. For the population, the program contributes to improved access to quality and affordable food. The commitment to agro-ecological production methods ensures environmental protection as an integral part of the entire program.  
GLoBe is in line with the global movement for decentralization in which authorities and resources are transferred from central to local governments. Nicaragua is a highly polarized society with unstable political and socio-economic context. This poses additional challenges to develop good local governance including strong service delivery for the population. Challenges such as the need to strengthen legitimacy, develop and professionalize the local administration, install result-oriented participatory mechanisms, and create a political culture aimed at strong service delivery to the entire population.  In Nicaragua, GLoBe contributes to the necessary capacity building of local administrations for the purpose of a strengthened service delivery by partnering Nicaraguan local governments with Flemish local governments. Santo Tomás - Mol and Ciudad Darío – Lommel will  exchange experiences mutually and  share them on national and international platforms so they can reach out to all Nicaraguan local governments. The program directly targets local politicians, civil servants and key persons of organizations of local farmers and traders (181 men/188 women). They will play a facilitating role for good local governance that contributes to improved living conditions for the most vulnerable. The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of both municipalities (9.451 men and 9.978 women in Santo Tomás; 28044 men and 26956 women in Ciudad Dario), with special attention to the most vulnerable.
GLoBe Rwanda - Rwandan local authorities improve local participation for sustainable urbanisation to ensure inclusive decision-making and responsive service delivery Rwandan local authorities improve local participation for sustainable urbanisation to ensure inclusive decision-making and responsive service delivery The VVSG’s ‘GLoBe’ (Goed Lokaal Bestuur) programme is committed to good local governance for sustainable and coherent policies. Local governments can play an important role as duty bearers to contribute to safeguarding human rights, to realising the SDGs and to improving living conditions for populations. In Rwanda, GLoBe supports local governments in the development of qualitive and sustainable urbanisation policies by increasing their capacities to organise inclusive participatory processes. By strengthening and updating tools, knowledge and skills on local participation mechanisms of RALGA staff and of councillors, technical staff and community representatives of 2 pilot districts, the programme strives to ensure more inclusive local decision-making and responsive service delivery by these local authorities. The involvement of all stakeholder groups (including vulnerable groups such as youth, women and people with disabilities) in the development and implementation of sustainable urbanisation processes is a key focus of the programme.

GLoBe is in line with the global movement for decentralisation in which authorities and resources are transferred from central to local governments. This brings opportunities, but also challenges, such as the need to strengthen legitimacy and local participation, professionalise local administrations, and enhance qualitative service delivery to the entire population. In Rwanda, we contribute to the necessary capacity building of local administrations through a partnership between VVSG and RALGA, the Rwandan Association of Local Government Authorities. Peer-to-peer learning and exchange of good practices has proven to be an efficient and effective way to build capacity for good local governance. This partnership provides the opportunity to develop new approaches to strengthening inclusive participation for sustainable urbanisation and the opportunity to impact other Rwandan local governments, through RALGA’s national reach. The programme directly targets RALGA staff who play a key role in providing support to local authorities on how to organise inclusive local participation processes. It also aims to pilot this support in 2 districts (Bugesera and Karongi), directly reaching district councillors, technical staff and community representatives. The ultimate beneficiaries are the populations of both districts, which enjoy more inclusive decision-making and responsive service delivery by their local governments.

Local governments can play an important role as duty bearers to contribute to safeguarding the human rights of their populations, to contribute to the realization of the SDGs and to improve living conditions for the population. In Senegal, GLoBe supports local governments developing qualitative and inclusive policies for local economy and waste management. Special attention is given to environmentally friendly solutions (reduction, recycling and valorisation of waste and the development of a green local economy through organic farming, composting and the promotion of environmental standards and labels) and to women, youth, farmers and small entrepreneurs to strengthen participation of the most vulnerable in local government’s actions. By strengthening local governance on economic development and waste, GLoBe in Senegal advances healthier and cleaner living environme...(+3 characters extra in FundHub text) The program directly targets local politicians, civil servants and key figures of the civil society who play a facilitating role for good local governance that contributes to improved living conditions for the most vulnerable. GLoBe in Senegal directly reaches 372 politicians and civil servants and 374 key figures from civil society. The beneficiaries are the inhabitants of the municipalities of Tambacounda, Sokone, Keur Moussa, Pout and Diender, with special attention to the most vulnerable.
GLoBe Ecuador - Strong local governments implement integrated water management policies that contribute to the protection of natural resources and enable sustainable agriculture. The program in Ecuador directly targets local politicians, civil servants and boards of community organizations in the municipalities of Oña and Guaranda and indirectly targets about 1900 predominantly rural households in about 55 local communities who are members of these community organizations. Many of these households are elderly single women and single mothers with minor children, because the husbands and adult children have emigrated to work. Strong local governments implement integrated water management policies that contribute to the protection of natural resources and enable sustainable agriculture. VVSG’s program ‘GLoBe’ (Goed Lokaal Bestuur) is committed to good local governance for sustainable and coherent policies. Local governments can play an important role as duty bearers to contribute to safeguarding the human rights of their populations, to contribute to the realization of the SDGs and to improve living conditions for the population. In Ecuador, GLoBe supports local governments developing qualitative and inclusive policies for sustainable use of water and land. By developing this policy, the programme contributes to improved living conditions for the more remote and harder to reach communities where potable water is lacking and opportunities to engage in sustainable agriculture are thwarted by drought. The program especially improves living conditions for women, often responsible for household chores and tasks related to the health of family members. For the population, the programme contributes to improved access to both drinking and irrigation water, which is an important prerequisite for hygiene, nutrition and (sustainable) agriculture. 
GLoBe is in line with the global movement for decentralization in which competences and resources are transferred from central to local governments. In Ecuador, local governments have the exclusive competence for water management and supply, which poses challenges to good local governance in terms of qualitative service delivery, strengthening legitimacy, professionalizing the local administration and installing result-oriented participatory mechanisms. GLoBe contributes to the necessary capacity building of local administrations for the purpose of a strengthened service delivery by partnering Ecuadorian local governments with Flemish local governments: the Oña-Bierbeek and Guaranda-Evergem partnerships are directly involved and will share their experiences on national and international platforms so they can reach out to all Ecuadorian local governments.
GLoBe Bénin - Des autorités locales puissantes mettent en œuvre des stratégies locales de qualité et durables, axées sur l'économie locale et le genre, en étroite collaboration avec la population et avec une attention particulière aux groupes vulnérables Des autorités locales puissantes mettent en œuvre des stratégies locales de qualité et durables, axées sur l'économie locale et le genre, en étroite collaboration avec la population, et avec une attention particulière aux groupes vulnérables GLoBe s'engage en faveur d'une bonne gouvernance locale pour des politiques durables et cohérentes. Les autorités locaux jouent un rôle important pour contribuer à la sauvegarde des droits humains, à la réalisation des ODD et à l'amélioration des conditions de vie des populations. Au Bénin, nous soutenons les autorités locaux dans le développement de politiques inclusives pour une économie locale durable et le genre. Une attention particulière est accordée aux petits entrepreneurs (femmes et jeunes) et au renforcement de leur participation aux différents niveaux de décision.
Le programme s'inscrit dans le mouvement mondial de décentralisation (transfert de compétences et de ressources du niveau central au niveau local). Cette évolution s’accompagne de défis, tels que la nécessité de renforcer la légitimité, de professionnaliser les administrations locales, d'installer des mécanismes de participation locale et de créer une forte prestation de services. GLoBe contribue au renforcement des capacités des administrations locales via des partenariats entre les autorités locales béninoises et flamandes. 5 autorités locales béninois et l'ANCB, l'organisation faîtière des autorités locaux béninoises, sont directement impliqués. Cela permet d'avoir une portée nationale.
L'économie locale et le genre ont été choisis en raison de leur pertinence au Bénin. L'engagement envers l’économie locale permet d'atteindre les petits entrepreneurs et de renforcer l'emploi local dans une région où le chômage, le manque d'éducation et d'accès aux matériaux de production de qualité sont élevés. Les femmes occupent souvent une position inférieure en raison de leurs possibilités limitées de s'engager en politique, de leur situation financière précaire, de leur manque d'éducation et de la persistance des préjugés. Le Bénin a également une population très jeune et le manque d'emplois formels, d'opportunités de travail et de formation rend ce groupe particulièrement vulnérable. Au Bénin, GLoBe se concentre sur 1) les politiciens et fonctionnaires des communes de Bohicon, Dogbo, Péréré, Toucountouna et Za-Kpota, impliqués dans l'économie locale et la politique de genre ; 2) tous les politiciens et fonctionnaires de l'ANCB et les chargés de communication  de tous les 77 communes béninoises; et 3) les jeunes et femmes entrepreneurs soutenus dans des chaînes de valeur spécifiques par commune (e.a moutarde, apiculture, maraîchage, manioc, riz, pisciculture et agrumes).
