With $19.3 million and $28.9 million, respectively, the US development finance institutions Overseas Private Investment Corporation (OPIC) and the World Bank’s Multilateral Investment Guarantee Agency (MIGA) further back the portfolio against risks of expropriation, political violence, and fragile regulatory frameworks (OPIC, 2015). Moreover, donor and philanthropist projects support the Tanzanian investment. The World Poultry Foundation by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation (BMGF) allocated a $3.6 million grant to establish an extension network for poultry breeders. Caritas International and the Clinton Foundation ran smallholder-oriented programmes on soya cultivation. At the end of the investment cycle sometime between 2021 and 2022, the fund will divest all assets.
