Main goals

The analysis of the financial and social performance of the partners, of the financial and institutional risks, are elements already included in the investment cycle of FEFISOL, however the review of S&E risks is an important addition to this process. Moreover, while S&E risks in the microfinance sector are well analysed, the agricultural sector is not yet concerned. Thus, an internal evaluation tool was developed, based on good practices and inspired by the IFC performance standards. The tool allows Partnership Officers to review a series of inherent risks that an agricultural entity (cooperative, SME, etc.) may encounter. Through this mission, FEFISOL 2 wishes to strengthen its qualitative analysis of S&E risks, in particular by agricultural value chain (cocoa, coffee, soy, cashew, etc.) and by country (Côte d'Ivoire, DRC, Rwanda, Uganda, etc.) as the risks may vary from value chain and country.

Specific objectives

SO1. Review of the portfolio and the procedures already in place in order to refine the understanding of the investment thesis of the fund
SO2. Design of sector profiles illustrating classic S&E risks of certain agricultural sectors financed by the fund, with comparisons and examples of risk remediation measures
SO3. Realization of an interactive training for the FEFISOL 2 team based on a PowerPoint presentation (support which will be shared with FEFISOL and SIDI and submitted as a deliverable)
