Investment Facility for the Pacific (IFP)
o Concept – combining EU grants with loans or equity from public and private
financiers, thereby generating a leverage effect.
o
Types of operations to be financed:
i.

Direct investment grants, TA's, Interest rate subsidies, guarantees, etc.
Investment Co-Financing Programme for the Pacific (ICPP)
o
Concept – combining grants by any development partners, international finance
institutions, private sector actors or PICs.



Period of implementation: 2015 – 2020
Project objectives;

Increase the partner countries’ administrative and technical capacity
for sector policy analysis, its development and implementation

Accelerate sector reform policies on access to sustainable energy,
energy efficiency and energy supplies, and

Facilitate the implementation of the investment projects needed to
meet the overall SE4All objective of making modern energy services
accessible to all.
Activities of the TAF;

Policy and reform, capacity building, investment projects planning
support, mobilising funds and partnerships and industrial and
technology cooperation.


Programme: Global

Project Allocation: €75 Million

Period of implementation: Beginning 2016

Project background:


an innovative mechanism to unlock, accelerate and leverage investments
increasing or improving access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern
energy. Main target is the private sector. Details: http://www.electrifi.org/
Project objectives:





achieve intensive mobilisation of the private sector
in the business of increasing or improving access to modern, affordable and
sustainable energy services
for populations living principally in rural, underserved areas as well as areas
affected by unreliable power supply
encourage more actions in the field of renewable energy in general with
emphasis on decentralised sustainable energy solutions and
with potential to attract additional financing to ElectriFI clients.
