Technical Evaluation Panel (TEP) Members for Infrastructure-Related Projects

Ref: MOZ/2023/ICS/CDF/04

  1. The Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) is in final preparations to sign a Compact with the Government of the Republic of Mozambique, which will seek to address a binding constraint to economic growth: costly and underdeveloped financial intermediation. The Compact, which will include a $49 million contribution from the Government of the Republic of Mozambique in addition to the $649 million of MCC grant funding, aims to unlock financing flows in a way that will catalyze economic growth and leverage Mozambique’s own resources.

 

  1. The Mozambique Compact aims to address key root causes of costly and underdeveloped financial intermediation by improving the financing of infrastructure, particularly transport and logistics infrastructure, and increasing access to finance for micro-, small and medium enterprises.

 

  1. The proposed Compact has identified Zambezia, a highly impoverished province, as a target area for investment. In Zambezia, we will work to promote inclusive economic growth, climate and coastal resilience, and improved quality/access to public services and infrastructure through the following three projects: Connectivity and Rural Transport; Promoting Reform and Investment in Agriculture Project; Integrated Climate Management and Coastal Development.

 

  1. The term “MCA Entity” means the Millennium Challenge Account – Mozambique (“MCA-Mozambique”), the accountable entity that will be created and designated by the Government to implement the Compact. Prior to the establishment of MCA-Mozambique, any references to actions taken or rights received by MCA-Mozambique in this RFA, including in the Form of Contract, shall be taken or received by “the Gabinete do Desenvolvimento do Compacto-II” and any references herein to MCA Entity or MCA-Mozambique shall be deemed to mean the “the Gabinete do Desenvolvimento do Compacto-II” or “GDC” during this period.
