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.

As stated in the project disclosure page, the EBRD is making an equity investment of EUR 50 million in favour of the Global Green Bond Initiative (GGBI), a flagship initiative of the European Commission (EC) investing in Green and Sustainability Bonds (GSBs). The EBRD will invest alongside several European Development Financial Institutions supporting the Fund to invest in eligible assets and therefore support the development of GSB markets in low- and middle-income countries across the EBRD region.

The EBRD's equity investment will benefit from an unfunded guarantee provided by the European Union (EU) under its European Fund for Sustainable Development Plus (ESFD+) guarantee programme, which supports financing and investment operations in partner countries outside of Europe.

The EBRD's investment into the GGBI Fund will help support EBRD Countries-of-Operations (COOs) transition to climate-resilient, low-carbon economies. This will be achieved through investments into GSBs, therefore also supporting the development of green bond markets across COOs, thus helping to address the climate finance gap.

Financial Intermediary
A financial intermediary is a bank or financial institution that receives funds from a development bank. A financial intermediary then lends these funds to their clients (private actors) in the form of loans, bonds, guarantees and equity shares. Financial intermediaries include insurance, pension and equity funds. The direct financial relationship is between the development bank and the financial intermediary.
Private Actors Description
A Private Actor is a non-governmental body or entity that is the borrower or client of a development project, which can include corporations, private equity and banks. This describes the private actors and their roles in relation to the project, when private actor information is disclosed or has been further researched.

ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF EBRD

The Project Complaint Mechanism (PCM) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD)-financed project. If you submit a complaint to the PCM, it may assess compliance with EBRD's own policies and procedures to prevent harm to the environment or communities or it may assist you in resolving the problem that led to the complaint through a dialogue with those implementing the project. Additionally, the PCM has the authority to recommend a project be suspended in the event that harm is imminent.

You can contact the PCM at: pcm@ebrd.com or you can submit a complaint online using an online form at: http://www.ebrd.com/eform/pcm/complaint_form?language=en

You can learn more about the PCM and how to file a complaint at: http://www.ebrd.com/work-with-us/project-finance/project-complaint-mechanism.html
