According to the IFC, the proposed investment to Banque Mauritanienne de l’Investissement consists of an up to US$20 million senior loan with a maturity of 3 years, processed under the Base of the Pyramid program. The Project will support the growth of the Banks’ micro, small, and medium enterprises portfolio and will benefit from benefit from a 40% Pooled First Loss Guarantee from IDA-PSW Blended Finance Facility and the Global Small and Medium Enterprise Finance Facility as described in the Blended Finance Section.
The IFC categorized the project as FI-2.

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
