Investment Grant for Access to Sustainable Finance for Green and Climate-Smart Value Chains

About this project

<p>This project is a component of a blended operation with the EIB with the objective to finance small-scale climate and environment projects in Honduras, notably in the field of climate change mitigation, environmental protection, and climate change adaptation through a green multi-beneficiary intermediated loan (¿Green Loan¿) to the Government of Honduras, aligned with the Global Gateway Investment Agenda in the country.</p><p>The investment grant component will increase the concessionality and incentivize final beneficiaries¿ appetite for targeted investments, to be blended with the tranches of the EIB Loan.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">The Investment Grant is intended to incentivise Final Beneficiaries to prioritise climate action or environmental sustainability investments over other (non-climate, non-environmental) investment opportunities. Green investments typically come with higher capital costs than conventional technologies and may offer only longer-term benefits with longer-term payback.</p><p class="ql-align-justify">The Investment Grant will be in an amount of up to 30% of the eligible Sub-Project costs, payable upon verification of the green investment implementation. The proposed amount of up to 30% is deemed appropriate to incentivise Final Beneficiaries to go the extra mile to invest in higher performing climate and environmental technologies.</p>
