Trust Funds
MIGA makes available special guarantee facilities and trust funds to encourage investment in areas of special need, working with partners to leverage the amount of coverage the agency can provide. Currently, MIGA offers guarantee coverage through three trust funds:
- The Afghanistan Investment Guarantee Facility is supported by an IDA Credit and a concessional loan from the Asian Development Bank (ADB) to the government of Afghanistan, both for US$5 million equivalent, and a grant from the UK government (DFID) of £1 million, as well as €0.5 million in capacity support from Germany’s GTZ. MIGA and the ADB are each providing US$10 million in co-insurance.
- The Environmental and Social Challenges Fund for Africa is a pilot facility to help foreign investors address environmental and social challenges in Africa. It was created with a $1 million grant from the government of Japan.
- The West Bank and Gaza Investment Guarantee Trust Fund (Arabic) aims to encourage investors to increase investment in the West Bank and Gaza. Increased investment in productive areas is expected to contribute to the economic development of the region. MIGA administers the trust fund on behalf of its sponsors—the Palestinian Authority, European Investment Bank, and the Government of Japan.
MIGA also manages the European Union Investment Guarantee Trust Fund for Bosnia and Herzegovina. This US$12 million fund has been fully utilized. Visit the projects database for details on operations supported by the fund.
