Identification

Description of services sought Design and facilitation of workshops for Idea Generation Session in Angola
Expected start date 25 May 2020
Expected completion date 30 July 2020
Reporting to Hector Gomez Ang, Country Manager, Angola


Background

Globally, there are large development gaps, and yet stagnant or even declining levels of private investment in geographies and sectors that would help to address these gaps. The common problem is a shortage of bankable investment opportunities. The failure to generate investment opportunities in areas where capital is needed most has significant consequences across the developing world. The pace of economic growth, employment, and poverty alleviation will continue to remain insufficient while this problem persists. That is why several years ago IFC decided to work Upstream in order to achieve the 2030 goals.

Working Upstream means proactively helping to stimulate and to create conditions that result in the movement of capital -- private, domestic, and foreign -- into productive investment in member countries. The work can be accomplished as quickly as in a few months or take several years.

IFC Upstream activities must (i) have a clear line of sight to a sized potential IFC investment (or series of investments) within 5 years and (ii) identify relevant market/investment gaps to be addressed by developing specific investment projects and/or conducting regulatory/sectoral reforms, including by working with the World Bank; (iii) be consistent with the priorities of relevant WBG/IFC country strategies; and (iv) have a defined, measurable development impact.

Upstream activities are a top priority for IFC Management. In FY19, IFC significantly ramped up and energized the organization of its Upstream business with a new operational model, whose focus is to be more systematic, more efficient and more impactful. IFC also launched an innovation and Upstream implementation Task Force staffed with a small multi-disciplinary senior team from across the IFC to oversee various workstreams in close collaboration with all relevant departments.

One of these task forces is focused on pipeline acceleration. The objectives of the Pipeline Acceleration workstream is to further build out the pipeline for FY 20 and beyond through, inter alia. establishing regular IFC Upstream business pipeline reviews, developing Upstream priority “heatmaps”, piloting various approaches for Upstream idea generation and development, and accelerating the development of global platforms.

IFC is committed to the Upstream business. To reflect this commitment- a new indicator has been added to the IFC Corporate Scorecard – a three-year cumulative investment pipeline beyond the current fiscal year. It reflects the IFC Management Team’s focus on building a long-term pipeline through deliberately and proactively creating IFC’s own projects and investment opportunities. In FY20, IFC has a 3-year cumulative investment own account pipeline (beyond the current fiscal year) of US$30 bn of which Upstream own account investments are expected to contribute 20%.

Objectives

In order to create a growing Upstream pipeline, IFC needs to manage the funnel of opportunities being able to transform and select the best ideas into effective investment generating activities. In the short term, IFC’s goal is to create a pipeline of US$10 billion by September 2020. One key component of the pipeline acceleration effort will focus on a series of regionally-based workshop sessions that will seek to bring appropriate teams together to originate, refine, ground-truth and agree concrete action plans for Upstream ideas. The sessions will take place beginning in April 2020 and run through subsequent months.

IFC is searching for a consultant that will support its Angola Country Leadership team in the design, preparation and facilitation of an idea development workshop to help accelerate its Upstream pipeline development efforts creating, refining and planning new opportunities in Angola.
