The proposed operation consists of a commitment in the IFHA-II Coöperatief U.A. managed by Africa Health Systems Management Company B.V. The fund intends to provide growth equity funding to Sub-Saharan African private companies active in various segments of the healthcare sector, including healthcare clinical services providers, health insurance companies as well as manufacturers and distributors of healthcare products and medical equipment.
The fund will contribute to improving the supply in all segments of the Sub-Saharan African healthcare value chain, resulting in increased availability of reliable quality services through better infrastructure, upgraded facilities and better trained staff, to the benefit of the growing middle class and of the poor.
To ensure that the project meets the environmental and social standards of the EIB and participating international financial institutions (IFIs), it will be requested that an environmental, social and development management system (ESDMS) is set up to monitor the fund’s investment. During appraisal the Bank’s services will verify the application of the ESDMS and ensure that the projects financed by the fund follow the EIB’s environmental and social principles and standards.
In terms of EIB procurement rules, the fund is considered to be in the private sector. The Bank will be entitled to assess whether projects which the fund supports apply competitive tender principles and adequate criteria of economy/efficiency, and that contracts are not negotiated with discrimination based on the country of origin.
