About this award
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) awarded Social Impact Inc., a woman-owned small business specializing in international development evaluation services, a $2.3M definitive contract on September 18, 2018, to conduct an independent evaluation of the Benin II Off-Grid Energy Access Project. The engagement, which runs through March 31, 2027, utilizes a time-and-materials pricing structure and requires performance in Benin. The evaluation supports MCC's broader mandate to combat poverty through economic growth by assessing the impact of the off-grid energy access initiative on beneficiary households and enterprises. Social Impact Inc. brings substantial relevant experience to the engagement, having conducted similar independent evaluations for MCC's compact programs across multiple countries including Niger, Senegal, and Mongolia in sectors such as agriculture and electricity access.
Social Impact Inc. engaged two primary subcontractors to execute this evaluation: Duke University's Office of Research Administration and LEADD, a local data collection firm. Duke University's involvement was formalized through a March 2023 modification that increased its subcontract ceiling to approximately $213.6K to support research administration and analysis functions across multiple option periods. LEADD, contracted beginning June 2019, serves as the quantitative data collection partner, with responsibilities including developing protocols and survey instruments, conducting enumerator training, executing applicant and beneficiary surveys, and delivering clean datasets and final reporting. The subcontract structure evolved through 2020 modifications to accommodate COVID-compliant data collection procedures and expanded scope, with incremental funding reaching approximately $331.9K.
