What the grant funds

Update March 4, 2021 - The Industry Day presentation, participant list, and question and response document have been uploaded under the "Related Documents" tab. Background The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. Government corporation that works with developing countries to promote sustainable economic growth to reduce poverty. Since its establishment in 2004, MCC has deployed more than $10 billion in development grants through compact and threshold programs across 40+ countries. For more information on MCC, please visit www.mcc.gov. In 2021, MCC and the Solomon Islands Government expect to sign a Threshold Program Grant Agreement totaling US $23 million to support a four-year program with the objective of implementing policy and institutional reforms that lead to a reduction in poverty through economic growth in Solomon Islands. The four-year timeline for this program is expected to begin in April 2021. The Solomon Islands Threshold Program consists of two projects: the Accessing Land for Tourism Investment Facilitation (ALTIF) Project and the Forest Value Enhancement Project (FoVEP). Purpose To support the Threshold Program activities in Solomon Islands, MCC is seeking partners through the following procurements: 1. Community Engagement Services: As part of the ALTIF project, tasks include support for the delivery of information, public outreach and awareness, advisory and other assistance to communities that are located nearby registered land parcels with a high potential to attract tourism investment with the objective of facilitating community acceptance for a tourism investor’s use of land for investment purposes and sharing of benefits between an investor and community around a tourism investment. 2. Cross-Cutting Program Support Services: Tasks are related to conducting facilitated governance reform, program monitoring, strategic communications, and meeting and administrative support. Note that this procurement was initially anticipated as two separate procurements, for which RFIs were previously released on beta.SAM.gov (Facilitated Governance Reform, published on January 7, 2021, and Communications and Meeting Support Services, published on December 30, 2020). Draft Statements of Work for these two procurements can be found under the "Related Documents" tab.
