Project Description
If provided by the financial institution, the Early Warning System Team writes a short summary describing the purported development objective of the project and project components. Review the complete project documentation for a detailed description.

 The proposed project (the “Project”) consists of a sustainable Diversified Payments Rights (“DPR”) notes issuance of up to US$200 million by Banco G&T Continental (“GTC” or the “Bank”), an IFC client since 2008, in Guatemala. The investment will be executed under the Bank’s existing DPR program and through a Special Purpose Corporation (Titularizadora Centro Americana de DPRs or the “SPC”). The sustainable notes will be collateralized by US-denominated DPRs originated by GTC and will have a tenor of 7 years, with a 2-year grace period. The use of proceeds of the investment is to support GTC’s loan portfolio growth in (i) climate-related assets, including green buildings and energy-efficiency sub-projects; (ii) Small and Medium Enterprises (“SMEs”) in accordance with IFC’s definition and applicable local regulation; and (iii) low-income housing, with a specific carve out to support women home ownership.  The aforementioned use of proceeds will comply with applicable Guatemalan Regulations, including E&S requirements.

Contact Information
This section aims to support the local communities and local CSO to get to know which stakeholders are involved in a project with their roles and responsibilities. If available, there may be a complaint office for the respective bank which operates independently to receive and determine violations in policy and practice. Independent Accountability Mechanisms receive and respond to complaints. Most Independent Accountability Mechanisms offer two functions for addressing complaints: dispute resolution and compliance review.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IFC/MIGA

The Compliance Advisor Ombudsman (CAO) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who believe they are likely to be, or have been, adversely affected by an IFC or MIGA- financed project. If you submit a complaint to the CAO, they may assist you in resolving a dispute with the company and/or investigate to assess whether the IFC is following its own policies and procedures for preventing harm to people or the environment. If you want to submit a complaint electronically, you can email the CAO at CAO@worldbankgroup.org You can learn more about the CAO and how to file a complaint at http://www.cao-ombudsman.org
