National EPA Implementation Plan (2)
• Very important!
• The plan has to be aligned with national and regional development priorities (manufacturing, agriculture, regional integration, value chains, export orientation) and assess how the EPAs can be 'used' to achieve them

EFSD Guarantee
Moving beyond classical development assistance
Pillar 1: EFSD resources
The EFSD Guarantee
Will provide liquidityfrom its guarantee
fund (liquidity cushion)
Will leverage additional financing, in particular from
the private sector (crowding in), by reducing
the risk associated with specific operations
A risk mitigation mechanism
to stimulate investments in Africa and in the Neighbourhood
A guarantee capacity for credit
enhancement will ultimately benefit
the final investments and allow risk sharing
with other investors, notably private actors
Article 9 of the EFSD Regulation
– additionality– complementarity with other initiatives, clearly distinct, in particular from
the external lending mandate operations managed by the EIB– alignment of interest by providing adequate risk sharing– economically and financially viable– maximise, where possible, the mobilisation of private sector capital– respect the principles of development effectiveness
Pillar 1: EFSD Guarantee Eligibility criteria
Market failures or sub-optimal investment situations
Focus on youth and women empowerment
First investment windows
1. Sustainable Energy and Sustainable Connectivity
2. Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) Financing
3. Sustainable Agriculture, Rural Entrepreneurs and Agribusiness
4. Sustainable Cities
5. Digitalisation for Sustainable Development
