1 AFRICA FERTILIZER FINANCING MECHANISM CALL FOR PROPOSALS FOR: PROVISIONING OF CREDIT GUARANTEES TO FINANCING FERTILIZER VALUE CHAIN IN AFRICA Posted on October 19 th, Introduction The African Development Bank is the premier Pan-African development financial institution, promoting economic growth and social progress across the continent. The Bank s development agenda is delivering the financial and technical support for transformative projects that will significantly reduce poverty through inclusive and sustainable economic growth. In order to sharply focus on the objectives of the Ten Year Strategy (TYS) and ensure greater developmental impact, five major areas (Hi 5s), have been identified for scaling up, namely; energy, agro-business, industrialization, integration and improving the quality of life for the people of Africa. In 2006, at the Abuja African Green Revolution Summit, the African Union Member States, conceived the African Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM), an initiative for improving agricultural productivity by providing finance to debottleneck the use of fertilizers in Africa. The Abuja Declaration committed African Union Member States to work together in achieving a very ambitious goal: boosting fertilizer use to achieve 50 kg/ha nutrients. The Summit charged the African Development Bank (AfDB) with the responsibility to establishing and manage the AFFM. The African Fertilizer Financing Mechanism (AFFM) is housed within the Department of Agriculture and Agro-industry (AHAI) of AFDB. The overall objective of the AFFM is to assist African Countries to increase agricultural productivity within the context of the Africa Food Security Vision and the MDGs. One of the AFFM s primary functions is the creation of an enabling environment for mobilizing resources for the investments needed to achieve the 50 kilogram per hectare target for fertilizer use as mandated by the Abuja Summit.
2 2. The Call for Proposals One of the key activities for the AFFM is to support the provision of credit guarantees and other financial solutions along the fertilizer supply chain and as appropriate, at growth leverage points in agricultural output value chains. To further help in de-risking the financing of the fertilizer value chain in Africa, AfDB / AFFM is calling for proposals from qualified financial institutions and implementing partners who are interested in teaming up with the AFFM for the provision of Portfolio Credit Guarantee to importers, wholesalers, distributors and agro-dealers in the fertilizer value chain in Tanzania and Nigeria. Selected financial institutions will be required to provide credit facilities (including loans) to the aforementioned fertilizer value chain actors at the back of which AFFM will provide guarantees to the financial institutions. For the purposes of ensuring that fertilizer gets to the farm gates especially to the smallholder farmers, AFFM will also require the services of implementing partners to assist in the logistics and operational management of the credit guarantee scheme on the ground. 3. Eligibility In addition to general eligibility criteria set in the AFFM Operational Procedures Manual, following criteria are applicable to this specific call for proposals: 3.1.Project Eligibility Proposed activities and projects must fall into the following three area: - Facilitate the provision of financing to fertilizer importers, distributors, wholesalers and agro-dealers; - Provision of credit to be backed by AFFM s credit guarantee to fertilizer importers, distributors and agro-dealers. - Project duration should not be more than 2-year (24 months). - Project Budget should be minimum of 250,000 and a maximum of 2,000, Eligibility Criteria for Selecting Financial Institutions AFFM seeks to team up with credible Financial Institutions (commercial banks, Savings & Loans, Microfinance and Credit Unions), that have a demonstrated ambition to play a vital role in agricultural financing (including fertilizer value chain). The main selection criteria for participating financial institutions include the following; - Willingness to adhere to a portfolio guarantee structure - Demonstrated commitment and willingness to provide financing to beneficiaries that meet predetermined eligibility criteria and/or have a significant current loan book of fertilizer clients; - Willingness to share the credit risk at pari-pasu;

The criteria for the selection of Implementing Partners will include the following elements, amongst others: - Sound knowledge of the fertilizer market and value chain; - Familiarity with target beneficiaries in the local market setting; - Familiarity with local financial institutions and a demonstrated ability to initiate contact, conduct negotiations and conduct monitoring & evaluation (M&E) activities; - Ability to develop local market intelligence; - Ability to develop a pipeline of eligible beneficiaries; - Ability to support further fertilizer value chain development; - Capacity to perform credit assessments and high-quality reporting to AFFM; - Competitive management overhead. 4.
