Innovative Finance for a Sustainable Future
We understand that successful blended programs require a unique balance of economic, social, and financial interests in each country. Our goal is to help our clients create sustainable and impactful programs that benefit both investors and local communities.
We have successfully designed and implemented blended finance programs in the U.S., Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia, and India.
Many of these successes involved blended bond issues and aggregation of smaller-scale projects for financing.
Our blended finance work in the Caribbean received the prestigious Bloomberg Finance for Resilience Award.
Based on our transaction experience, we can take a project from conception to implementation in a highly efficient and timely manner.

about us
Financial Modeling & Feasibility Analysis
We bring a unique blend of private and public sector experience to each project. Members of the team have served in Wall Street firms, while others have held high-level government positions.
This gives BFA a deep understanding of how public and private sector entities make policy and financial decisions.
While BFA has a strong knowledge of numerous innovative blended financial models, the final design of each successful project reflects the unique interests of project partners.
All blended finance programs successfully implemented by BFA were subject to an affordability assessment to reach optimal balance of public and privates sector funding in each program.
Impact & Projects
Caribbean Renewable Energy Hub




Caribbean
Under contract to the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), BFA developed a blended revolving fund for commercial bank financing of local environmental projects in Jamaica. Under this program a $15.2 million local bank loan was provided to the National Water Commission (NWC) for several local projects. Blended support came in the form of a special surcharge on water tariffs dedicated to a Trust for collateral and a $3 million GEF grant placed in a reserve account.
The loan financing was followed by a successful NWC bond issue with the same financial architecture and credit enhancements.
The Philippines
Under contract to USAID and in collaboration with the Japan Bank for International Cooperation (JBIC), BFA developed a blended water revolving fund program in the Philippines. The structure combined local bank lending with JICA sovereign loan proceeds and credit support in the form of a partial credit guarantee from the USAID. The fund has mobilized more than US$230 million in lending for local projects.
India
BFA assisted the Tamil Nadu Development Fund in India with a successful privatization and follow-on bond financing. This involved the first private sector pooled financing of water projects outside the United States. As the chief legal and financial adviser, we structured a $22.6 million non-convertible, redeemable bond offering issued by the Tamil Nadu Development Fund in India for local infrastructure projects.
The bond offering was credit enhanced by then USAID’s Development Credit Authority. This donor assistance was critical to obtaining an investment grade rating.
The BIDFacility Charter
BFA assisted the IFC in the creation of BIDFacility, an IFC-managed, multi-donor supported initiative designed to assist public entities attract private sector investments through PPPs. BFA drafted the BIDFacility Charter, engaged in market analysis, conducted a regional legal and regulatory review, and presented the proposal at a donors’ conference. The BIDFacility has raised more than $20 million in donor funds.
NAMA Facility
Under contract to the international NAMA facility, BFA developed financial mechanisms for clean energy projects in Latin America and Asia. Several of our financial mechanism proposals include:
· Lease financing for renewable energy projects in the Dominican Republic.
· Construction finance facility for clean energy feed-in-tariff projects in the Philippines.
· Subordinated and concessional loan program for biomass projects in Argentina.
· A price stability fund for Waste-to-energy projects in Colombia
The UNDP/GEF
BFA provided assistance to the UNDP/GEF regarding the design and implementation of financing programs for renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in Croatia, Romania, Central America, Chile, Egypt, India, and Thailand.
Fideicomiso Trust
BFA developed a Fideicomiso (Trust) program to bundle efficiency projects for financing by the North America Development Bank (NADB) through one debt instrument. We drafted transaction documents for the Fideicomiso financing.
Additional information regarding these financial projects, including power point presentations and flowcharts, are available upon request.
