A new Web site designed to streamline information about business opportunities at the Millennium Challenge Corp. was launched recently.
The Millennium Challenge Corp. is a U.S. government agency
designed to work with developing countries on programs that help reduce
poverty through economic growth.
The site provides direct links to MCC's compact program
procurements, threshold program procurements and corporate
procurements. A compact is a multiyear agreement between the
organization and an eligible country to fund specific programs. The
threshold program is designed to assist countries that have
demonstrated a significant commitment to improving their performance
and are on the verge of qualifying for compact funding.
The Web site also enables users to obtain up-to-date
information about compact program procurements via an RSS feed.
Additionally, the site has video and downloadable podcast presentations
on a range of the group's various business opportunities. Lists of
procurement notices appear prominently on MCC's newly redesigned home
page.
Most of MCC's threshold program and corporate procurement opportunities are posted to the Federal Business Opportunities Web site.
To help identify MCC threshold program procurements, which are
primarily implemented by other federal agencies, and MCC corporate
procurements, the new Web site is able to resourcefully search listings
of both types of procurement opportunities.
About MCC:
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a United States
Government corporation designed to work with some of the poorest
countries in the world. Established in January 2004,
MCC is based on the principle that aid is most effective when it
reinforces good governance, economic freedom and investments in
people. MCC's mission is to reduce global poverty through the
promotion of sustainable economic growth.
Before a
country can become eligible to receive assistance, MCC looks at their
performance on independent and transparent policy indicators. MCC selects eligible countries for Compact Assistance.
