2 Pillar - Contribution to Mandate Objectives Mandate: COTONOU (ACP) A - Consistency with mandate objectives Comment (Select relevant EIB mandate objectives and explain how the project matches regional priorities) General Mandate Objectives Regional Priority (). Local Private Sector development in Particular Support to SMEs Support the ACP financial sectors and have a catalytic effect by encouraging the mobilisation of long-term local resources. Support a wide spectrum of the institutions including banks, leasing companies, microfinance institutions and private equity funds, through long-term lines of credit (also in local currency) as well as risk capital instruments (equity, quasi-equity and guarantees). Develop the local financial sectors' capacity to effectively channel financing to small business, and fostering the capacity of ACP markets to mobilise domestic savings. Develop invative loan and guarantee structures to enhance the value-added of the operations. As a matter of priority, special attention will be devoted to improving access to financial services for the poorest and underserved. Leverage private funding and fully involve private actors, in particular in support to SMEs and microenterprises, (essentially using credit lines to "suitable financial intermediaries", but also through equity participations in funds and guarantees of a specific portfolio). Seek for SME projects with a significant impact on employment and try to improve the access of SMEs to risk-sharing instruments. Investments in selected early-stage or Greenfield Microfinance Institutions (MFIs) are fully in line with the Article "Investment and Private Sector Development" of the Cotou Agreement. The operation is fully consistent with the objective of supporting financial institutions including MFIs with a view to developing the local financial sector capacity to channel financing to small businesses and mobilize domestic savings. Moreover it focuses on one of the priority areas, namely improved access to financial services for the poorest and underserved. The operation conforms to the Cotou general objectives as outlined in Article, including "the objective of reducing and eventually eradicating poverty", as well as "sustained ecomic growth, development of the private sector, (...and) the promotion of social development". Notes: () Regional priorities as defined in the Operational Guidelines currently being defined by the EC and EIB /9

3 B - Contribution to EU country and regional priorities and country development objectives Outputs Outcomes Impacts Contribution to EU priorities and country development objectives Creation of Access Microfinance holding by Shareholder agreement between EIB, LFS, IFC, KFW, OTMF and MA Initial capital of Access Holding of Euro 8 million for investment in selected early-stage microfinance institutions and gradual capital increase to 0 million as of June 0. Improve access to finance for micro and small enterprises through the creation of 7 investee MFIs in 7 countries, with 9,000 borrowers and average size loan of Euro,09 as of June 0. Improve access to savings for microentrepreneurs and to banking services more generally. creation of,880 jobs in new MFIs, sustaining an estimated 00,000 jobs in final beneficiaries. Develop investee MFIs into leading providers of financial services in their respective countries, setting standards in terms of transparency, efficiency, and customer orientation. Contribute to the strengthening and development of the microfinance sector in the selected countries. Facilitate the transfer of kw-how, invation and best-practices among its investees through its TA platform and its investment strategy which aims at creating regional clusters. At the current stage, the microfinance industry lacks commercial strategic investors which can combine financial muscle with the technical kw-how in building up and managing MFIs. Supporting the development of MIIs is expected to induce a powerful competitive stimulus to existing operators, to boost invation and customer orientation in the industry and lessen the current high degree of concentration of funds invested in a single microfinance network. Furthermore, the creation of AccessHolding will also contribute to reducing regional imbalances in the microfinance industry by strengthening the retail MFI sectors in Central Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa, which are still much less developed and diversified than national industries in Latin America and Eastern Europe, respectively. By improving access to finance for micro and small enterprises in some very shallow markets, the project is expected to contribute to private sector development, job creation and improve living-standards of low-income households, thereby contributing to poverty reduction. } Investments in target countries are in line with national development objectives to increase access to finance for small enterprises and to promote job creation, including self-employment, among socially vulnerable groups, e.g. the poor. In a number of ACP states, the necessary legislation has been put in place to facilitate investments in microfinance. For example, in 005, Nigeria introduced the Microfinance Policy, Regulatory and Supervisory Framework, which was revised in April, 0. The policy recognizes existing informal institutions and brings them within the supervisory purview of the Central Bank of Nigeria creating a platform for the regulation and supervision of microfinance banks (MFBs) through specially crafted regulatory guidelines. Similar provisions mainstreaming microfinance into the financial sector have been introduced in other countries, including Tanzania, Zambia and Liberia. Overall Pillar Rating* / Comment The operation is consistent with the Cotou mandate objective of supporting private sector development and supporting SMEs. It is expected to make a significant contribution to EU and national priorities in the concerned countries by improving access to finance for micro and small enterprises, promoting job creation amongst low-income groups, contributing to private sector development and ultimately poverty reduction. Monitoring June 0 Overall Pillar Rating* monitoring / Comment Over the first years, Access Holding has performed better than expected, successfully creating 5 new MFIs in additional to the two which were already operational in Jan 007, bringing the total number of branches to 6, improving access to finance for 0,8 depositors and 6,6 borrowers of which more than 50% are women. Contribution to financial sector development has been particularly significant in Liberia, a post conflict country with a particularly shallow financial sector, with an investment in the first regulated MFI. * Rating scale: - excellent; 3- satisfactory, - partly unsatisfactory, - unsatisfactory 3/9
