The document provides an overview of funding options for businesses from Development Financial Institutions (DFIs) in South Africa, with a focus on the National Empowerment Fund (NEF). It discusses the roles and mandates of various DFIs, the types of products and criteria for funding, and examples of businesses that received NEF funding. The key points made are that DFIs provide funding and support to promote strategic sectors and address market gaps, the NEF exclusively funds black empowered businesses, and examples show funding went to projects in various industries ranging from transportation to tourism to construction.

Development finance to enable agricultural transformationMichael Shaw
More than half (57%) of workers in #africa work in agriculture and 80% of rural people rely on agriculture as their main income source.
Finance is critical for moving nations up the economic ladder. Yet despite agriculture’s importance in Africa, limited investment is being made in the sector. Where most transformational, such financing has often been concessional (i.e. it doesn‘t fully price for risk).
Gatsby Africa wanted to understand the potential for development finance to transform sectors in Africa and the role this could play in achieving the SDGs, with a special focus on agriculture.
Wellspring looked at sectors that have been successfully transformed to assess the role finance played, alongside other key factors. We considered the extent that different types of finance are available for agriculture, given its importance to achieving the #sdgs. And we presented ideas to increase the types of finance needed to support agricultural sector transformation in Africa.

ODA for Capacity Building in the Social Enterprise- and the SME-Sector in IndiaMartin Vogelsang PhD
Based on my long-standing experience as impact investor in India I would like to suggest that Official Development Assistance (ODA) coming into the country is disbursed more strongly towards capacity building (training, education) and supporting the incubation of viable social enterprises and inclusive businesses catering to the “Base-of-the-Pyramid”. Investing into this area of the Indian economy would not only help alleviate to poverty and at least partly solve some of the grave environmental problems the country is facing. Such an initiative could also help India’s corporate sector become more engaged in creating and scaling innovative solutions in the areas of technology or financial services that could open up new markets for them.
Activ8Change is leading the way in creating a long-term self-sufficiency solution for African communities, by connecting together the wide array of existing socio-economic development investment and initiatives, into one easy to access mechanism.
Changing Landscape of Development Finance in Asia & Concerns for Civil SocietyRaffy Simbol
Keynote speech/presentation by Shalmali Guttal, Executive Director of Focus on the Global South, during the "Asian People's Call on Challenging the Asian Development Bank's Immunity Conference". 20 April, 2017, University of the Philippines - School of Labor and Industrial Relations.
The work is aimed primarily at ‘new to Africa’ actors/investors interested in sub-Saharan Africa rather than the larger scale, established classic LBO market in South Africa and elsewhere around the globe, hence the theme: “In the Shadow of the Giants". It is based on opinions of stakeholders in the industry to create an overview and facilitate a better understanding of the challenges they face and the innovative approaches to the business model that have been made to deal with them.

Putting the SPARK into Virtual Training.pptxCynthia Clay
This 60-minute webinar, sponsored by Adobe, was delivered for the Training Mag Network. It explored the five elements of SPARK: Storytelling, Purpose, Action, Relationships, and Kudos. Knowing how to tell a well-structured story is key to building long-term memory. Stating a clear purpose that doesn't take away from the discovery learning process is critical. Ensuring that people move from theory to practical application is imperative. Creating strong social learning is the key to commitment and engagement. Validating and affirming participants' comments is the way to create a positive learning environment.
Business Valuation Principles for EntrepreneursBen Wann
This insightful presentation is designed to equip entrepreneurs with the essential knowledge and tools needed to accurately value their businesses. Understanding business valuation is crucial for making informed decisions, whether you're seeking investment, planning to sell, or simply want to gauge your company's worth.
Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

3. The Role of DFIs
Development financial institutions remain relevant. Historically, DFIs have
been created by governments around the world to promote economic growth
and support social development. They typically provide credit and a wide range
of capacity-building programs to households, SMEs, and even larger private
corporations whose financial needs are not sufficiently served by private banks
or local capital markets. In doing so, they seek to promote strategic sectors of
the economy, such as agriculture, international trade, housing, tourism,
infrastructure, and green industries, among other sectors.
Although many of the institutions were created several decades ago, data
shows that many governments around the world still see them as a relevant
instrument to pursue economic goals.

How DFIs differ from Commercial Banks
Commercial Banks Development Funding Institutions
Usually set up as companies under Company Act May be owned by government or the private
sector. Usually set up under special act passed by
Government
Accept deposits from public which are payable at
demand
Main source of funds is government allocations,
loans, grants, repayments of/proceeds from
previous investments etc.
Their objective is to maximise commercial
returns
Their objective is to maximise commercial
returns (sustainability) and to achieve the
intended development mandate
Place reliance on security/collateral available
(Security Cover)
Reliance is largely based on cash flows to be
generated by the business
DFIs fill a gap in the funding market
DFIs are usually referred to as “lenders of last resort”

11. 11
Deal declined at screening stage – Property
acquisition finance
• Business plan did not contain sufficient information to enable proper screening of the merits of the
transaction. Thus more information had to be requested from the client.
• The additional information requested was provided after an extended period of time.
• The sponsor relied on consultants to put together the information for the finance application and did
not vet all the information before submitting to the deal team. Thus when asked for clarification about
the details, they were unable to account.
• This delayed the screening process as they would first consult their consultants before responding to the
deal team.
• This also demonstrated the lack of experience that the sponsor had in that line of business.
• The sponsor believed in the merits of the transaction, but could not demonstrate it to the deal team.
• Financial projections provided did not reflect realistic/achievable figures.
• A point of reference is always the historical performance of the business which is then supplemented by
evidence of additional/new demand (occupancy rates)
• The projections could not be substantiated as there was no proper basis for them.
12. 12
Deal progressed beyond screening stage –
Property finance
• The directors are expertise in the property field, thus were able to provide comprehensive industry
and market analysis which helped in assessing the commercial viability of the transaction.
• Full co-operation and participation from all the Directors and employees of the Investee.
• The client nominated one of their employees to fully devote their time to respond to the deal team’s
requests.
• Thus they availed themselves at any time to respond to requests from the deal team.
• They understood the information required, thus provided information of good quality.
• The deal team received a comprehensive business plan with sufficient supporting information.
• Additional information request were submitted timeously which enabled smooth screening process.
