6 IFC InfraVentures Objectives, structure and working: IFC InfraVentures is a global infrastructure project development fund $100 million fund with five-year fund life Mandate to invest in infrastructure projects in IDA borrowing countries* For each project, IFC InfraVentures can fund up to US$ 4 million of project development expenses at an early stage. Typically, this would be 20-30% of the early-stage financing required to bring the project to financial close. In selected situations, IFC InfraVentures may take a larger stake or even lead project development as a surrogate sponsor In return, IFC InfraVentures will take a stake in the equity of the project at financial close This is not grant funding Additional debt and equity to fund construction could come from other parts of IFC s balance sheet (would be subject of a separate agreement) Fund staff work proactively as co-developers of the project, alongside the lead sponsor. Dedicated, experienced senior professionals are deployed * For a list of IDA borrowing countries, see 5

7 CLEAN TECHNOLOGY FUND (CTF) Project eligibility criteria: The $5.3 billion Clean Technology Fund (CTF), a funding window of the Climate Investment Funds. Established in 2008 to provide scaled-up financing to middle income countries to contribute to the demonstration, deployment and transfer of low carbon technologies with a significant potential for long-term greenhouse gas emissions savings. CTF concessional financing, channeled through five partner multilateral development banks (MDB), focuses on large-scale, country-led projects in renewable energy, energy efficiency, and transport. AfDB, ADB, EBRD, IDB, WBG $6.1 billion is allocated under the CTF for 134 projects and programs, expecting co-financing of $51 billion from other sources. CTF allocations are projected to result in approximately 1.7 billion tons of CO2 emission reductions over their lifecycle like taking 350 million cars off the road. 6 CTF $3.3 billion (54% of CTF allocations) is approved and under implementation for 59 projects, expecting $31 billion in co-financing. Projects aim to deliver 15 GW of renewable energy capacity of which 2 GW is already installed.

8 IFC: NOT ONLY INVESTMENT BUT ALSO ADVISORY SERVICES Regulation Pipeline dev.
