Pursuant to the terms of the Compact, the Government committed to provide funding as a Government contribution to support implementation of the Compact in an amount equal to no less than seven and one-half percent (7.5%) of the amount of funding provided by MCC in the Compact (the “Government Contribution”).

The Government, acting through the Millennium Development Authority (“MiDA” or the “Purchaser”), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Invitation for Bids (“IFB”) is issued. Any payments made by the MCA Entity under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC Funding.

The Compact and its related documents can be found on the MCC website (www.mcc.gov) and on the website of the MCA Entity at www.mida.gov.gh .
The goal of the Compact Program is to reduce poverty through economic growth in Ghana. The objectives of the Compact Program are to

The Program consists of four (4) projects: (i) the ECG Financial and Operational Turnaround Project; (ii) the Regulatory Strengthening and Capacity Building Project; (iii) the Access Project; and (iv) the Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management Project.

MCC’s assistance will be provided in a manner that responds to constraints to economic growth by aiming to improve the reliability and quality of power in Ghana.

The Compact Program will be executed over a period of five (5) years from Entry into Force (EIF) of the Compact on 6th September, 2016.
