Investment Co-Financing Facility

Investment Co-Financing Facility (ICF) Grant

Is a public financing instrument designed as a risk-sharing mechanism to support commercially viable new or expanding private sector investment projects. The instrument addresses market and institutional constraints that limit private investment by sharing project risks and incentivizing businesses to undertake productive investments that generate significant economic and employment benefits. The instrument targets eligible investment projects with a minimum investment value of US$1 million and an expected creation of at least 45 new jobs. It provides co-financing of up to 30% of eligible project costs, primarily supporting capital expenditures such as machinery, equipment, production lines, and other productive assets.

This grant fund offers financial support to businesses struggling with economic viability due to market disruptions and political instability and focuses on investments in priority sectors, including agriculture, agribusiness/food processing, light manufacturing, telecommunication and internet service providers, green technology, and recycling, with an emphasis on enhancing businesses that supply inputs for related industries and promoting the production of import substitution products. (Trade, Retail, Real Estate, and Construction are excluded).
