3 LEAD PROJECT INVESRMENT FUND, 2 nd ROUND GUIDANCE NOTES Page 2 of LEAD Project Investment Fund The BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania Livelihoods Enhancement through Agriculture Development (LEAD) Project Investment Fund is a special fund of the BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania LEAD Project that is open to agribusiness investment in the poultry and maize value chains in Tanzania. The fund is a combination of a grant (40% is given as a grant to the awardee) and loan (60% is provided as a loan to the awardee). Businesses can apply for capital injections of between 5,000 USD (8,000,000 Tsh) to 30,000 USD (50,000,000 Tsh). It should be noted that the amount requested should not be more than 50 percent of the value of the current investment of the business (including assets and the business value). 2. LEAD Project Investment Fund Application Process 2.1 Four Stages: Review, Assessment, Selection, and Award The LEAD Project Investment Fund is a mechanism for allocating and disbursing funds efficiently and fairly. Organizations are invited to submit an application that highlights their concept and plan for achieving it. Rules are set and publicized, covering eligibility, the selection process, and the way that submissions will be evaluated. A joint diverse body called the Technical Advisory Committee which includes 1) one BRAC Maendeleo Tanzania employee, 2) independent enterprise practitioners and investment experts from across the area of operation, and 3) an external observer administer the process and decide in a transparent manner who gets funding, to avoid possible conflict of interest. The intention is to get funds to the organizations that truly need them and can use them effectively to realize the broader aim of poverty alleviation and empowerment of the poor; and to do this transparently. In the case of the LEAD Project Investment Fund the overall policy aim is to promote new ideas that will lead to growth in the rural economy of Tanzania, improving household incomes and creating new opportunities for systemic change in the markets that serve them. The LEAD Project Investment Fund is open only to for- profit private companies that have reached a certain stage of growth, but who may not have the ability to access commercial financing. The funding is targeted solely to the maize and poultry value chains.
