Introduction
This yearly exercise is geared to monitoring effective economic, social and environmental impacts of projects that are financially supported by Proparco (debt, equity and guarantees excluding ARIZ/EURIZ). The monitoring of Proparco’s portfolio focusses on four key indicators Proparco has embedded in its strategy and makes it possible to compare effective impacts with ex-ante estimates:
Created and/or maintained jobs
Proparco monitors the impact of projects it finances on the creation and maintaining of direct and indirect jobs.
Gender equality
Proparco finances projects that contribute to female employment and leadership and access to essential goods and services for women. The 2X Challenge initiative qualifies projects dedicated to these goals.
Fight against climate change Access to essential goods and services
Proparco finances renewable energies and measures each Ren project’s contribution to the fight against climate change by calculating their carbon footprint (which enables the evaluation of tCO2eq avoided per project). Proparco monitors how projects impact access to essential goods and services, notably education, electricity, water and sanitation, healthcare services and financial inclusion.
In 2021, our monitoring exercise covered impacts achieved at the end of 2020 through projects signed between 2015 and 2019. In total, 273 projects (for 254 unique clients) were signed over this period for a total amount of 4.9 billion euros.
2019
In 2019, 94 projects signed between 2015 and 2016 were monitored.
2020
In 2021, the availability of indicators varies according to their nature:
• 65% of projects for direct jobs; • 80% of projects for indirect jobs (modelized notably using the turnover or the GDP) ; • 53% of projects for access data; • 100% of projects for tCO2eq avoided per year; • 75% of projects qualified for the 2X Challenge.
Therefore, the average coverage rate of the 5 indicators is 75% at the end of 2020, up 16 points compared to the previous year.
