Uxolo Development Finance Pathfinder awards 2021 - get involved!

Researcher at TXF
The nominations for the Uxolo Development Finance Pathfinder awards 2021 are now open. These awards recognise the crucial work Development Banks of all sizes have done across the globe in 2021.

We have created the inaugural Uxolo Development Finance Pathfinder Awards 2021 to help recognise and celebrate the crucial work done by Development Finance Banks in significantly promoting the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, in what has been a very challenging year for many. 

As the name suggests, we are looking for firsts and pathfinder deals that demonstrate innovation - both in terms of financial engineering, risk mitigation, diversification of the traditional development funding pool, and as practical solutions to real-world development problems. Country risk, political risk, sector risk, and credit strength of the borrower, etc will all have a bearing - but innovation will carry the most weight.

In short, if you have worked, collaborated, or advised on a financing/project in 2021 you are proud of, we want to hear about it, no matter the scale.

Details on how to submit deals can be found in the links below - but the basics we require are:

  • Name of the financing/project being nominated 
  • Development banks/companies/institutions/commercial banks involved 
  • Beneficiary/intermediary 
  • Financing/project volume (including tranche information) 
  • Approval date 
  • Industry 
  • Country 
  • Area of finance 
  • And most importantly, a paragraph about why you think the financing/project should be considered for an award.
