From first advice to a signed instrument.
Five services. Taken separately or as one mandate, they cover the whole distance between a clearance programme that needs money and capital that can be committed to it.
Strategic advisory
How mine action gets paid for — and by whom.
We advise ministries, mine action authorities, operators and donors on the funding side of clearance: what the financing options are, which counterparties can carry them, and what has to be true before capital moves.
- Funding options assessment for national mine action programmes
- Positioning of clearance within nature, climate and SDG finance agendas
- Counterparty and mandate mapping across public, philanthropic and institutional capital
Financial and legal structuring
Instruments built to survive due diligence.
We structure traditional and innovative financial products — the vehicle, the terms, the legal architecture — so that an engagement ends in an instrument someone can sign.
- Fund and facility structuring, including agricultural fund structuring
- Sovereign debt structuring
- Alignment with sustainability standards and guidelines
Finance innovation
Instruments adapted from nature and climate finance.
Two decades of nature and climate finance have produced instruments that mine action has barely used. We adapt them to the specific risk profile of contamination and clearance.
- Debt-for-nature and debt-for-climate swaps
- SDG bonds
- Green and blue bonds
- Sustainability-linked bonds
Fundraising and investor outreach
Taking a structured mandate to capital.
We position mandates with the institutions that hold the balance sheet — ministries of finance, development banks, municipalities, philanthropic and institutional investors — and support the process through to commitment.
- Investor and donor mapping
- Outreach materials and mandate positioning
- Support through diligence and negotiation
Knowledge products and capacity building
So partners can run the structures themselves.
We develop guidance, tools and training that let national institutions and operators originate and manage these structures without standing advisory support.
- Guidance notes and methodological tools
- Training for ministries and mine action authorities
- Institutional capacity building programmes
Where the structuring experience comes from.
Mine action finance borrows from adjacent fields. These are the ones we have worked in directly.
Agri-food
Agricultural fund structuring and project selection across Latin America, Southeast Asia and the EU.
Sovereign debt
Debt structuring for sovereigns, including debt-for-nature and debt-for-climate swaps.
Sustainability standards
Extensive expertise in the standards and guidelines that thematic instruments are assessed against.
Which of the five do you need?
Most engagements start with one and grow into the next. Describe the programme and we will say where to begin.
