3) An assessment summarizing the risks and mitigants that FIs in Uganda face to lending to the off- grid RE sector. Following these rapid assessments, CEADIR delivered technical assistance training sessions to four client banks: Opportunity Bank, Pride Microfinance Bank, Centenary Bank, and Finance Trust Bank. The training topics covered 1) mapping of the off-grid RE market and presentation of opportunities to engage in more off-grid RE lending, 2) marketing and product development, and 3) best practices in conducting due diligence and partnership evaluation of off-grid RE companies.

CEADIR organized an industry matchmaking event for lenders, solar developers, and potential borrowers to provide a RE fora. The matchmaking event consisted first of a CEADIR presentation which provided participants with an overview of the off-grid RE sector in Uganda, highlighting the potential for Ugandan banks to lend to the sector, current obstacles and risks associated with lending, and potential next steps to build capacity and de-risk lending. A presentation from the UN Capital Development Fund (UNCDF) followed, which highlighted the main foreign exchange risk issues faced by off-grid RE companies financed in U.S. dollars or Euros and have receivables in local currency, and emphasized the opportunity for domestic banks to provide operators with local currency financing. A matchmaking session followed the presentations, for which CEADIR gave banks booths around the room where they set up branding and brought materials to inform potential borrowers on the different lending opportunities at their institutions. Operators rotated between different booths to share more about their businesses and projects with the financiers. Financiers included Ugandan banks, impact investors and development FIs operating in the off-grid RE space in Uganda (e.g. UNCDF, Pearl Capital Partners), and USAID collaborating programs such as the Uganda Off-grid Energy Market Accelerator (UOMA) and the Power Africa Electricity Supply Accelerator (PAUESA). Off-grid RE operators included solar home system distributors, mini-grid developers, and other private developers looking for financing opportunities. PAUESA co-sponsored the event by covering 50% of the venue costs.

Lastly, CEADIR submitted a pipeline of 12 potential transactions for debt financing. Ghana:

CEADIR delivered a two-day training on structured finance for RE for Ecobank Ghana.

The analyses included: • Mainstreaming Climate Adaptation into Governance Frameworks in Madagascar. CEADIR compiled research and summarized various governance frameworks where USAID/Madagascar’s Conservation and Communities Project (CCP) may consider mainstreaming climate change. Governance frameworks suggested include those at the national, regional, and local levels.The report also presents recommendations for strengthening the enabling environment in Madagascar to facilitate easier, more effective climate change mainstreaming. • Private Sector Analysis for Climate Adaptation in Madagascar. CEADIR conducted a survey of private sector actors to understand how they are considering or planning to consider the impacts of climate change in their business operations. The survey also assessed the challenges and opportunities of engaging the private sector in the financing and implementation of climate adaptation actions. CEADIR interviewed 26 private sector companies involved in agriculture, fisheries, tourism, and extractives and summarized the results of these interviews, along with recommendations on ways that CCP can encourage the engagement of the private sector in adaptation planning and implementation. • Public Funds Analysis for Madagascar’s Conservation and Communities Project. CEADIR researched and summarized the different public funding sources that might be available to CCP given the activities’ cross-cutting approach and linkages to biodiversity, climate change, and reversing land degradation. This analysis includes a description of the state of climate and biodiversity public funds, a summary of the key funds that CCP could access, and guidance for approaching specific funds. • Impact Investing Analysis for Climate Adaptation in Madagascar. To support the CCP to better understand the potential for impact investor engagement in their activities, CEADIR conducted an assessment that examined how and why impact investors may be interested in investing in and supporting the financial sustainability of CCP activities. This included a survey and interviews with impact investors, as well as desk research to report on the priorities and potential of impact investors.

ANNEX A: CEADIR INNOVATIONS

CEADIR created a custom indicator to capture innovations such as tools, technologies, or methodologies developed, tested, and/or adopted as a result of U.S. government assistance.

For this quarter, CEADIR reported one innovation under the Power Africa BTG activity, as follows:

TABLE 7: CEADIR Clean Energy Innovations

CEADIR Clean Energy Innovations Name Payments for Results Terms of Reference for Business Advisory Service (BAS) Providers Activity Expanding Small-Scale, Off-Grid Renewable Energy Lending in Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda Instances 2, Ghana and Rwanda To support Power Africa’s transaction-oriented goals, CEADIR provided transactional support in Ghana, Rwanda, and Uganda. CEADIR sought to identify a pipeline of viable bankable projects which it could bring forth to banks for loan applications. CEADIR’s approach to sourcing projects for financing consisted in subcontracting with Business Advisory Service (BAS) providers, i.e. local companies with knowledge of the country’s energy sector and experience with project finance. CEADIR developed innovative performance-based Terms of Reference (TORs) for the BAS providers. The BAS provider TORs included the following milestones for results-based payments:

Deliverable Payment Amount Client work plan approved by CEADIR Fee of USD $1,000 Description Loan or equity application submitted to Transaction value up to USD $500,000: Fee is 1% of transaction value, up Financial Institution after approval by to a maximum of USD $5,000; Transaction value of USD $500,001 and CEADIR higher: Fee is 1.5% of transaction value, up to a maximum of USD $10,000 Transaction value up to USD $500,000: Fee is 1% of transaction value, up Proof of credit approval to a maximum of USD $5,000; Transaction value of USD $500,001 and higher: Fee is 1.5% of transaction value, up to a maximum of USD $15,000 Proof of disbursement of credit or $1,000 if BAS needs to perform specific work for the project to meet investment capital conditions precedents for disbursement Total CEADIR will pay a maximum of USD $27,000 per transaction
