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.

According to the Bank’s website, this summary covers equity and shareholder loan investments, by Kasada Hospitality Fund LP (Kasada) of Mauritius, through Flamingo Kite ABJ Limited of Mauritius, into 3A HOTEL DEV SARL, incorporated in Cote d'Ivoire. MIGA has been requested to provide political risk insurance coverage for up to US$26.5 million against the risks of expropriation, transfer restriction and currency inconvertibility, and war and civil disturbance for a period of up to 15 years.

The project consists of the greenfield development of a 100-keys Ibis Styles hotel and a 70-keys Adagio extended stay hotel on an 8,251 square meters (sqm) parcel of land in Angre, in the Cocody district of Abidjan, Cote d'Ivoire. The hotel complex is also envisaged to include conferencing and events venue and co-working space and will be located adjacent to a new mixed-use retail shopping center.

This project is part of a Master Contract issued to Kasada in 2021, which covers a portfolio of existing and new hotels in Sub-Saharan Africa. Kasada Hospitality Fund is a private equity fund with a focus on the Sub-Saharan Africa hospitality sector. The fund is owned by the Qatar Investment Authority (Qatar's sovereign wealth fund) and Accor (the 6th largest hotel management company in the world) as limited partners. Kasada expects to establish a portfolio of more than 20 hotels (estimated 4,000 hotel keys) requiring a total investment (debt and equity) of US$1 billion.

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
