1. Create aggregated investment opportunities by providing a credible pipeline of bankable project and aligned with the net-zero goal
2. De-risk projects by providing data (carbon intensity and financial vulnerability) and facilitate the provision of first loss reserve for high impact projects to reduce, the ‘risk weighted assets’ (RWA).
3. Fund/ co-fund the feed phase & investment blueprints, TA, and the backbone infrastructure and real states logistics.
4. Facilitate the certification of projects prior to first close for the monetization of ESG impacts.
5. We support leveraged efforts in revenue enhancement and look to improve cost reductions and increase operational efficiencies across the board.
6. Already, at the early phase of the investment cycle, we look to position our assets for sale by identifying the most attractive growth opportunities evaluating the optimal exit approach, whether it is an initial public offering, a merger with a strategic acquirer, a sale to new private equity owners or a management-led leveraged buyout.

Environmental externalities, such as climate risk, are poorly incorporated into financial and business risk management practices, valuations and decision making. These risks are present and exhibiting changing frequency and severity, including:

• Increased or decreased rainfall (leading to flood or drought).
• higher temperatures (leading to heat waves).
• sea level rise (leading to coastal erosion or coastal flooding).
• increased windstorm intensity (leading to greater damage and loss).
• In addition, emerging and relating to these issues are risks relating to growth of populations and exposed assets, especially in more hazardous locations.

Climate V.A.S expertise in finance, data, analytics and research, innovation is channeled into providing high utility local facilities that can translate climate change into financial risks.

Climate V.A.S is committed to leveraging technologies, asset-level expertise, green debt engineering, public policy climate science, Data & Analytics capabilities to:

• untangle the climate & sustainable finance value chain,
• design & implement advanced green financial products and services

Blue-Bird Properties (BBP) is aiming to become the largest and most innovative African funding platform aspiring to improve the efficiency, performance, and sustainability of the entire Housing Value Chain, with the goal for making High Quality & Zero-Carbon Housing units affordable for the masses.

The proposal is to bring forward a very high quality, sustainable, mixed-use settlements that will become thriving redeveloped neighborhoods and/or new urban extensions.

BBP is a holistic formula that helps cities rethink about affordable housing and economic development as part of shared prosperity and wealth building in favor of equitable and sustainable development.

Housing affordability is a function of three levers: household income, the price of the house, and the terms of the finance. BBP is about increasing households’ incomes, facilitating access to finance, decreasing the construction and financing costs while delivering “Net-Zero”.

We strive to increasing homebuyers’ incomes while decreasing financing costs. We also support developers and entrepreneurs who can turn today’s impossible problems into drivers of real business transformation through the advancements in cleantech and finance.

Long-Term goal: Foster a green Industrial manufacturing in which we decarbonize virtually the entire physical housing value chain: how we manufacture building materials, how to transport and assemble them, generate electricity, move around, deliver water and treat waste and cool and heat buildings.

Alongside thriving redevelopment and new urban extension, we commit to establishing, within most of our host countries, enterprise research & learning campuses (ERLCs) – specialized innovation & industrial parks- alongside large-scale green manufacturing areas dedicated to the development and deployment of alternative building materials, renewable energy, energy storage, life science solutions, and supportive infrastructure & logistics.

Sectors:
Affordable Housing, Green Manufacturing, Sustainable Energy, Water, Waste and Sanitation, Nature-based Solutions.

KIF will deliver strong financial returns while contributing to the massive amount of capital and expertise needed to drive decarbonization and help Africa achieve both the UN SDGs and “Net-Zero” emission over time. The transition component of the vehicle is designed to seize the opportunities that derive from the nine fundamental, interrelated system-level requirements needed to solve the “Net-Zero Equation” and identified by Mc Kinsey & Company:

• Physical building blocks, encompassing (1) technological innovation; (2) ability to create at-scale supply chains and support infrastructure; and (3) availability of necessary natural resources.
• Economic and societal adjustments, comprising (4) effective capital reallocation and financing structures; (5) management of demand shifts and near-term unit cost increases; and (6) compensating mechanisms to address socioeconomic impacts
• Governance, institutions, and commitment, consisting of (7) governing standards, tracking and market mechanisms, and effective institutions.

IMPACTS: the projects targeted in each sector shall:

• Be aligned with host countries’ NDCs/Green Growth Action Plans of host countries,
• Have a commercially viable business model,
• Have a clear climate mitigation/adaptation component and contribute positively to at least 4 other SDGs.
• For each first loss reserve / concessional tranche be able to mobilize 3x to 5x private finance
