What it covers

The feasibility study that established the Peace Bond concept. Produced by Interpeace with SEB and funded by UK Aid, it examines whether a bond instrument that finances peace measures alongside a commercial project can be made bankable. Its centrepiece is a detailed feasibility case built on a real proposed 50 MW solar plant in northern Ghana supplying power to Burkina Faso, in which a realisable set of peace measures reduces the project’s discount rate by 200 basis points and improves its net present value by USD 6 million.
