- Nature4 Cities Project Output 4.1.1: five project concept notes developed of a fundable quality. Output 1. Define business models and financing solutions to enhance outcome 2 of GCF SAP proposal to increase the project’s potential to generate access to financing and to reduce the risk of investment in climate-resilient productive schemes, and to strengthen the project’s exit strategy establishing synergies with public and private sector actors to ensure a continuous flow of financing to the communities targeted by the project. Project Activity 4.1.1.4: Develop seven national concept notes on Urban Nature based Solutions. This consultancy regards the concept note of Panama, and will provide inputs as follows: Responsibility: Design business models that consider (sustainable) blended finance solutions targeting beneficiaries in the study areas and for the proposed project activities in the GCF concept note. The business models should: a) Align with the requirements of financial institutions and that address their investment risks; b) Meet the borrower profile of project beneficiaries. The following needs to be considered whilst conducting this task: - Identify main entities in the finance value chain and landscape in the areas selected for project implementation, both national and international investors, the role they play and their minimum financing requirements. - Of the interventions in the GCF note, identify interventions that could generate revenue streams. - Identify entry points for communities to engage, including the beneficiaries who might be potential buyers of ecosystem services; and with the carbon market to fund Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA), assessing options to leverage additional finance from investors based on existing initiatives. Potential collaborations could take the form of co-investment with GCF funds propitiating enabling environment, technologies and/or capacity building and partner investors. - Assess insurance landscape and identify gaps that need to be addressed to enable smallholder access to financial services. - Assess potential for off-take agreements between beneficiaries (through cooperatives when appropriate) and relevant national and regional companies to strengthen access to markets. - Analyze how the business models proposed takes into account urban and rural contexts, considering the mainstreaming cities approach of Nature4Cities project and integrating the needs of the new areas of intervention identified. Propose financing solutions that enable the beneficiaries of the project to access credit mechanisms under the EbA approach or other approaches that contribute to the climate resilience of the socioecological landscapes. As part of this task, at least two local financial partners are to be identified, willing to drive the business model (s) and to provide concessional finance. Additionally, where possible, facilitate discussions and negotiations between main stakeholders (commercial banks, microfinance institutions, private investment funds, public private partnerships for financing, among others). At a minimum, the models should include: - The approach including scaling-up - Payment terms - What happens when concessional credit is no longer available - How should payment be made. E.g. digital solutions in place - How will the potential revenue streams be calculated (sustainability of the model) - How will the business models be monitored during implementation - Which activities generate more revenues, and how can these be bundled together with those that are not (cross-subsidization) - What level of maintenance and technical input is needed to ensure the models work - Recommendations on the implementation of such business models, i.e. the financing mechanism by which they could be used either linked together or separately. Product 1. Report presenting the business models and financing solutions to enhance outcome 2 of GCF SAP proposal. The document will include the process and methodology used to identify/propose the business models and financing solutions to enhance outcome 2 of GCF SAP proposal. For each business model and financing solution the document will include a complete characterization, and the information presented above in the description of the output to later assess the better options for the adjustment of outcome 2 of GCF SAP proposal. Output 2. Develop pre-feasibility analysis to select the most suitable options of business model and financing solution and adjust concept note accordingly to enhance Outcome 2 of GCF SAP proposal. After selecting business models and financing solutions appropriate to generate access to ensure a continuous flow of financing to the communities targeted by the project, provide an assessment of which business model is likely to work the best and why, along with an assessment of which financing solution is likely to work best with the business model and why.
