Euwi - European Water Initiative

Below is a description of the Risk Insurance Facility currently under discussion at KfW. The objective is to mobilize private capital for infrastructure projects in developing countries. At the same time existing instruments (MIGA, ECAs) should not be duplicated. Rather, donor funds are to be made available for a very comprehensive hedging of loan-loss risks which should not be restricted to a handful of events restrictively formulated in advance.
