SPECIFIC PROCUREMENT NOTICE
Resettlement Consultant for the Licungo Bridge and Mocuba Bypass Project, Mocuba, Zambézia Province
RFP/MOZ/2023/QCBS/CDF/03
The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”), and the Government of the Republic of Mozambique (GRM) executed a Grant Agreement on April 20, 2022, as amended or otherwise modified (the “CDF Agreement”) that sets forth the general terms and conditions on which MCC will provide funding not to exceed US$14, 900, 000 under the authority of Section 609(g) of the United States Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as amended (the “Act”), which activities will facilitate the development and implementation of a Millennium Challenge Compact to be entered by the United States of America, acting through MCC, and the Government to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Mozambique (the “Compact”);.

The proposed Compact has identified Zambézia, a highly impoverished province, as a target area for investment. In Zambézia, 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
• Improve road transport by providing climate-smart, sustainable, and cost-effective road transport connectivity, enabling increased economic activities and improved access to basic social services.  
• Significant reform to the Road Maintenance system - from collections to allocations, distribution, and execution.   

Promoting Reform and Investment in Agriculture Project
• Fiscal reforms to improve the business enabling environment with a specific focus on tax reform to catalyze greater private investment in inclusive commercial agriculture. 
• Agriculture grant facility to incentivize private investment by commercial aggregators, processors, and value chain improvement. 

Integrated Climate Management and Coastal Development
• Improved livelihoods of coastal communities, fisheries promotion, marine economies, and community-led management practices.
• Conservation, reforestation, marine research, and blue carbon credits

In issuing this RFP, the Government is represented by the Gabinete do Desenvolvimento do Compacto-II (GDC), which will continue until such time as the Government establishes the Millennium Challenge Account-Moçambique (“MCA-Moçambique”) to serve as the accountable entity for implementing the Compact. Prior to the establishment of MCA-Moçambique, any references to actions taken or rights received by MCA-Moçambique in this RFP, including in the Form of Contract, shall be taken or received by GDC on behalf of the Republic of Mozambique, and any references herein to MCA-Moçambique shall be deemed to mean the Compact Development Team, or GDC during this period.

This Request for Proposal, the RFP, follows the General Procurement Notice that appeared in dgMarket and UNDB Online on April 26, 2023.

GDC now invites proposals from legally constituted consulting firms and other organizations to provide the consulting services (“Proposals”). More details on these services are provided in the Terms of Reference in Section V of this RFP.
