Process (Functions)
o
o
LSDFP provides technical assistance to the promoters in the preparation phase of their
respective project. LSDFP analyses the demand for financing of investable projects and the
offer/availability of financing from public, private, institutional and blended sources.
LSDFP advises and provides investors and IFA information on and access to investable
projects in the economic, social and environmental sectors relevant to sustainable
development, including/primarily the TIR related sectors:
• LSDFP launches calls for project proposals in the sectors of sustainable
development, including the TIR related sectors.
• LSDFP assesses the eligibility of project proposals and rates the project against
criteria such as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), their targets and
indicators (as approved by the United Nations) as well as the GRI criteria and
definitions, respectively their relevance in relation to the TIR. The indicators,
flowing from the Sustainable Development Goals and their related targets,
according to which the eligibility of sector projects for financing on the basis of the
match-making efforts of the LSDFP is to be assessed, should reach a level of
granularity taking into account relevant national specificities. As to their eligibility,
the submitted projects may be ranked according to the number of SDGs they
credibly intend to serve. They must not produce any counterproductive effects in
relation to the other SDGs, and – in order to foster the social and human character
of projects – they should allow for in-kind investment (i.e. skill sets) and return, as
much as for financial investment and return.
o
LSDFP advises and provides project promoters access to potential investors and IFA and
financial instruments adapted to their project activities.
• LSDFP proactively reaches out to potential investors and IFA and compiles financial
commitments and adapted financial instruments and makes them available to
project promoters.
• LSDFP proposes financing options to project promoters that are adapted to the
financing needs of their project activities.
