Partnering For Impact

Utilise innovative finance models to deliver EWEC’s mandate
Goa
l
• Develop thinking and way forward on financial innovation to attract sustainable funding to support EWEC’s objectives by creating innovative financial structures to channel more capital, philanthropic and investment, to meet mandate needs

ing
gap
• Despite the overall increase for Reproductive Maternal, Newborn and Child Health (RMNCH), there remains a massive funding gap
• Global Strategy estimates at USD88 bn for the 2011–15 period just for the 49 lowest-income countries
• Recent UN strategic assessment pointed out, “the history of financing for development has been characterized by fickleness, volatility and uncertainty. There is little to suggest that matters will be any different in the future.”
• Financing from investors and increased investment by companies can be more significant N

Official sector flows • Innovative fundraising for development
generated an estimated USD57.1 billion between 2000 and 2008
• Potential for raising significant new resources is considerable
Private sector flows • Investment capital represents a large pool
of financing with global financial stock standing at USD212 trn and growing
• Investment managers consider Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors - market will reach USD25 trn by 2015
• Impact investments emerging as an alternative investment asset - create positive impact beyond financial return
• Forecasting over the next 10 years for invested capital of USD400 bn - USD1 trn
Global innovative finance
• Brief assessment of the investment industry reveals no specific MNCH-themed investment products
• To date incorporated as part of wider health sector investment structures (e.g. Henderson Horizons Industries, Allianz RCM Wellness)
• Within impact investing, a few investment funds for the health sector (e.g. Africa Health Fund) but it is early days
• Out of 2,200 impact investments worth over USD4 bn, only 59 investments totaling just under USD90 million have been completed in the health sector – none focus on MNCH
• Nevertheless, research indicates a growing appetite for health sector investments - could be as large as USD18bn – USD123bn
• EWEC’s mandate to improve MNCH could become a theme for such innovative financial vehicles and thereby attract more capital and close the current gap in funding
Opportunity for MNCH
Financial innovation opportunity for MNCH appears promising

Smart shopper notes that (product)RED items from top brands cost the same as non- (product)RED items. But choosing the (red) items means that up to 50% of profits made from those sales will go to help eliminate AIDS in Africa
The Global Fund uses 100% of this money to finance HIV health and community support programs in Africa, with a focus on women and children
The contribution helps people affected by HIV in Ghana, Swaziland, Rwanda, Lesotho and other countries to be granted (red) money in the future
The Result? Shopper has new (product)RED items from favorite brands at the same time helping to eliminate AIDS in Africa. They can continue to help when they choose other (red) products or donate directly to the Global Fund
When shopper chooses to purchase the (product) RED items the makers send a contribution of up to 50% of profits directly to the Global Fund – not to (red)
Added value to purchase decision
Funds direct to Global Fund
100% for HIV programs
Further (red) support
Direct private sector support
Source: The Global Fund press release, analysis
• Solidarity contribution or 'tax' on airline tickets is 70% of UNITAID's financial base • Tax is applied to all flights departing from countries imposing it and is paid by passengers • For passengers, the cost of the air tax is very low compared to the total cost of a ticket • Different rates can be set according to a country's level of development and there is an
extra option to vary the charge according to the distance traveled • As of September 2011, nine of UNITAID's 29 member countries were implementing the
airline tax: Cameroon, Chile, Congo, France, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, and the Republic of Korea
UNITAID - funding through airline ticket tax

! 4 suppliers submitted the offer, and GSK and Pfizer agreed to supply pneumococcal vaccines through the AMC in March 2010
! GSK introduced its first vaccine (Synflorix™) to Kenya in Feb 2011 at 90% discounted price
! The long-term price of pneumo vaccine for developing countries will be $3.50/dose (vs. >$70/dose in industrialized countries currently)
! Anticipated to help 60 countries to introduce pneumo vaccine by 2015 and prevent more 7 million childhood deaths by 2030

• EWEC IWG and partners know the different product/service markets and the constraints preventing the public and private sectors from realizing their potential to improve MNCH
Initial view reveals promising innovative financial structures for MNCH
• Numerous areas exist where companies are well-positioned to fill gaps in the provision of health care
• Structure provides opportunity to ‘de-risk’ investments made by both public and private sector
• Thorough investigation needed to determine where opportunity for a Maternal, Newborn and Child Health Fund may best focus
MNCH SVI Asset Management (MNCH SVI AM) is composed of 3 groups:
– Private Equity/Debt – Credit – Foundation
! The Capital Advisors Group ( CAG ), managed by bank, makes investments in MNCH value chain opportunities
! The Credit Group ( Credit ), managed by global banking partner, sources debt financing for MNCH SVI investment opportunities
! The Foundation, managed by Foundations/EWEC members/others, provides grants, loan guarantees, and technical assistance for MNCH SVI investment opportunities
! Objective is to support private sector companies that as a core part of their operation is to implement strategies involving products/services that improve MNCH at the BOP globally by providing equity/debt funding and technical assistance

Model 2: MNCH INNOVATION PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT PARTNERSHIP FACILITY
Financing facility to catalyze product innovation focused on underserved markets
Model 3: HIGH LEVEL WORKING CAPITAL CREDIT FACILITY
• IWG develop a working capital loan facility to offer loans to importers, wholesalers, health shops, pharmacies, dispensaries and community-based distributors to maintain stock of pre-specified maternal and child health products
• Provides much needed working capital to businesses— and simultaneously ensures availability and provision of vital public health products
• IWG could work with
institutions such as Aureos, IFC, Standard Chartered, African Development Bank, etc.

Next steps – use task force format to drive innovative finance strategy to fruition
! Clear perspective on the feasibility and potential impact of investment vehicle(s) for EWEC IWG and/or its partners
• Established decision making framework with related criteria
to assess investment vehicles • Initial shortlist of potential investment vehicle offerings
together with related preliminary business case/value proposition
• High-level view on potential facility size (based on market appetite)
! Foundation for a clear “go” or “no-go” decision to proceed with a
follow-on phase of investment vehicle development.
