DESCRIPTION/SPECIFICATIONS/STATEMENT OF WORK

Identify, Due Diligence and Refine Results-Based Financing (RBF) Opportunities in MCC Programs

Introduction and Background

MCC's mission is to provide grant assistance to support economic growth and poverty reduction in select developing countries with a demonstrated commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and investments in their citizenry.

MCC's partner countries enter into a five-year agreement (Compact) with MCC that includes a plan for achieving shared development objectives and the responsibilities of each country in achieving those objectives. Our model is defined by core principles of selectivity, country ownership, transparency, and a focus on results.

Our values identify who we are and what is important to us. Our Values are CLEAR: Embrace Collaboration, Always Learn, Practice Excellence, Be Accountable and Respect individuals and ideas. MCC's values define how we behave on a daily basis, both as individuals and as an institution, in pursuit of our mission. They guide how we make decisions, set priorities, address challenges, manage tradeoffs, recruit and develop staff, and work together with our country partners and stakeholders.

The Department of Compact Operations (DCO) is responsible for developing and implementing MCC's compact programs.

The department ensures that MCC compacts are designed and implemented in compliance with agency standards for procurement, financial management, environmental and social performance, and gender integration and social inclusion.

Within DCO, the Sector Operations Division is responsible for the development and oversight of MCC's agriculture, land, human and community development investments, program procurement and financial services, gender integration and social inclusion. To review and understand MCC's compact development process please review the resources available at:

https://www.mcc.gov/resources/doc/guidance-compact-development-guidance

Within Sector Operations, the Human and Community Development Practice Group (HCD) is MCC's institutional home to the health and nutrition, education and workforce development, social and behavior change, results-based financing and community development sectors and aims to ensure that all community members are accounted for in Compact and Threshold design, implementation, and evaluation.

International development donors, including MCC, face constant challenges in achieving sustained development impact in our partner countries. Results-based financing, or RBF, has gained increasing attention in recent years as a way to increase impact in both improving service delivery and achieving policy and institutional reforms.

MCC began using RBF in 2015 for job placement services in our Morocco Employability and Land Compact and with power and water utilities in the Sierra Leone Threshold program. Since then, the Agency has seen both positive results and opportunities for impact. For instance, in Sierra Leone, the water utility cites the RBF program as the main driver in their ability to increase their collections from 52% to 85% - a remarkable turnaround for their financial sustainability, critical to providing quality water to hundreds of thousands of Sierra Leoneans. The Morocco job placement program has secured over 4,000 formal jobs for women and at-risk youth in Morocco and the Government of Morocco and has already commissioned an additional RBF program to enhance the delivery of their own non-MCC-funded programs.

To build on these promising early results and leverage the lessons learned, MCC has been working since 2019 to strengthen the Agency's use of RBF approaches. Through a Results-Based Financing Initiative, MCC has developed tools for assessing and designing RBF programs, guidance for how to structure RBF through both contracts and grants and screened 11 country programs for RBF opportunities. Ultimately RBF investments were included in the Senegal Power Compact, the Lesotho Health and Horticulture Compact, and are being proposed in the second Mozambique Compact. For more on RBF at MCC visit this page.

This Scope of Work is to continue that work into a new phase - solidifying and scaling the use of RBF in MCC programs.

Tools, materials, and reports to strengthen MCC's use of RBF approaches will be shared with the successful bidder.

Scope

MCC requires a contactor to provide services regarding the development of MCC capacities and strategy for Results-based Financing (RBF) in Human and Community Development and Other Relevant Sectors.

Tasks and Deliverables

Task 1. Mobilization and Work Planning.

https://www.mcc.gov/resources/doc/guidance-compact-development-guidance https://www.mcc.gov/initiatives/initiative/initiative-results-based-financing

The Contractor shall review existing materials, tools, lessons learned and generally get up to speed on the work of MCC's RBF Initiative. The Contractor shall present a work plan to support new country engagements and refine/strengthen MCC's RBF practice. The Contractor shall also develop a learning agenda and associated implementation plan. This agenda should include, among other items, those learnings detailed in task 2d below.

Task 2. Country Engagements.

Following the completion of the initial phase of the RBF Initiative, the priority going forward will be to focus on identifying and supporting the development of new RBF activities within MCC compacts or threshold programs. Tasks 2a and 2b should be conducted using the existing screening and due diligence tools respectively. Existing tools will be shared with the successful bidder. The opportunity to refine and improve existing tools is under Task 3.

Task 2a. Screening. Lead in the screening of MCC programs in development to identify where integrating an RBF approach or activity could add value, enhance impact, or improve efficiency. Depending on the number of countries selected, this will likely involve working with 2-4 country teams per year with each country program comprised of 1-3 projects.

Task 2b. Due Diligence in Design. Conduct due diligence to assess RBF opportunities and if appropriate define an RBF strategy for specific projects/activities. This process will likely include: mapping service delivery systems and incentives;

interrogating the theory of change for incentive-based assumptions; testing and refining RBF's value add; assessing the technical, political, and administrative conditions for RBF's success; and developing the strategy to include what is the objective of an RBF activity, who would be incentivized, what results would be incentivized, and how those results would be incentivized. RBF programs could be conceptualized in any of MCC's sectors and will require the ability to work with MCC appointed subject matter experts.

Task 2c. Due Diligence for Oversight. When requested and when doing so would not present a conflict of interest, the Consultant may be requested to support MCC country teams oversight of RBF activities in implementation. This would entail document review, field visits, and participation in periodic activity/portfolio review meetings to provide MCC with information and recommendations on program progress and suggested course corrections.

Task 2d. Lessons learned from country engagements. To implement the learning agenda noted in Task 1, the Contractor will actively collect, document, and disseminate lessons learned from all levels and phases of RBF work. This includes but is not limited to procedural lessons and refinements to tools for engaging teams in screenings and due diligence; testimonials and deep analyses of due diligence engagements; reviewing lessons from programs that are closing out; learning lessons from programs in implementation and updating tools and processes as necessary; and, other procedural lessons from the overall change management approach to scale RBF at MCC.

The information required to develop lessons learned will come from (1) the contractors experience engaging teams in screen and due diligence and (2) the contractor's engagement with MCA RBF contractor(s), MCA RBF implementation teams and MCC teams in their oversight role.

After allocating effort to country work, the COR/PM will work with the Contractor to prioritize tasks 3 and 4 below.

Task 3. Support MCC headquarters' RBF team to refine, update, and innovate MCC's RBF practice.

Task 3a. Tools, Policies, and Procedures. Based on lessons learned and updated understanding of global best practice, the Contractor shall periodically refine and update tools, policies, and procedures that relate to implementing RBF activities within MCC country programs. All tools, policies and procedures developed by the Contractor need to be aligned with MCC approved policy, guidance notes and handbooks. This may include the screening, due diligence, and design tools, the MCC RBF Guide, and guidance notes on RBF pricing, performance-based procurements, and RBF through grants. Tools, materials, and reports will be shared after award.

Task 3b. Innovation. Continue to innovate ways to utilize results-based financing at MCC. This may include pursuing the use of RBF to deliver Policy and Institutional Reform activities. It may also include developing an approach for, tools, and pursuing country engagements around using RBF to support partner country governments to integrate RBF into their own systems to improve public service delivery.

Task 3c. Knowledge Management. The Contractor will develop new and update existing knowledge products as tasked by MCC and depending on demand from MCC teams and practices. This may include work to: develop sector papers on the use of RBF in Land, Agriculture, Power/Water utility management, and Policy and Institutional Reform; support the development of a Principles into Practice paper focused on RBF; and, develop informational and other videos and multimedia products about RBF. Upon request, the Contractor will support the development of communications to promote RBF to MCC staff and share lessons and knowledge products.

Task 4. Training, Capacity Building, and External Engagement.

Task 4a. RBF Trainings and Events. Upon request, the Contractor will develop and deliver RBF trainings for relevant MCC, Compact/Threshold Development Teams, MCA, and partner government audiences. These trainings should be developed based on the existing training materials available on an internal MCC sharepoint site (to be made available to the Contractor after award) and any new materials developed and approved from Task 3. The Contractor may also be asked to support a variety of RBF events to continue to raise/maintain awareness of RBF with MCC staff and share and disseminate lessons and knowledge products.

Task 4b. RBF Team Capacity Building. Upon request, the Contractor will provide training, support, and capacity building to enable member's of MCC's RBF team to progressively build their expertise and take on an increasingly independent role in RBF related tasks including screening and due diligence of RBF opportunities.

Task 4c. External Engagement. The Contractor will support MCC to document and promote RBF projects, results, and lessons learned identified and/or developed during this contract's period of performance. This should include identifying relevant conferences and platforms for MCC to share its work. The Contractor should also facilitate MCC's participation in conferences, meetings, and other events to both raise MCC's profile in the space as well as to facilitate MCC learning from RBF practice at other organizations.

Upon receiving this notification, the Contracting Officer shall either issue an appropriate contract/Task Order modification within a reasonable time or advise the Contractor in writing within 30 days that the instruction or direction is:

Rescinded in its entirety; or

Within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause of the contract/Task Order, and that the Contractor should proceed promptly with its performance.

A failure of the Contractor and Contracting Officer to agree that the instruction or direction is both within the requirements of the contract/Task Order and does not constitute a change under the changes clause, or a failure to agree upon the contract action to be taken with respect to the instruction or direction, shall be subject to the Disputes clause of this contract.

Any action(s) taken by the Contractor in response to any direction given by any person other than the Contracting Officer or the COR/PM shall be at the Contractor's risk.

MCC 52.232-73 TRAVEL REIMBURSEMENT (MAY 2017)

Policy.When authorized as part of the Scope of Work on this contract/order and within the contract/order ceiling and as approved by the Contracting Officer's Representative (COR) and/or other MCC officials as described below, travel expenses incurred in performance of technical directives issued under this contractor/order may be reimbursed as allowed by the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR) in effect at the time of travel. MCC's supplemental policy interpretations are derived from the FTR and cannot grant additional benefits or adjust processes defined in the FTR. Supplemental policies of MCC set forth below:

a) Traveler Responsibilities. All contractor travelers must:

1) Exercise the same care in incurring expenses that a prudent person would exercise if traveling on personal business;

2) Travel in accordance with the FTR and the MCC policies included in this document; and

3) Pay any charges or fees associated with non-compliance of FTR or any MCC policies included in this document, and any expenses incurred for personal convenience. For example, the traveler may become personally responsible for travel costs associated with unauthorized use of other than coach class accommodations, failing to follow the Fly American Act requirements, exceeding per diem rates, changing departure or return flights, purchasing unapproved items, etc. regardless of the fact that travel arrangements may have been booked by others (e.g., Travel Agency).

b) Cabin Class Standards

1) The standard cabin class for contractor air-travel is coach class, regardless of destination or travel time.

2) Coach "premium" class may be authorized for destinations which have a travel time of more than 14 hours, consistent with the Federal Travel Regulations and the approval standards outlined in paragraph (f) of this document.

3) Business class travel accommodations will NOT be authorized except as determined through the approval process outlined in paragraph (f) of this document. This approval process is considered to be exceptional, to be part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time.

c) Airlines and Flights. In accordance with the Fly America Act, contractors must use a U.S. flag air carrier service for all travel funded by the government beginning or ending in the U.S. unless a specific exemption to the "Fly America" rule applies. Flights on U.S. air carrier pairings with foreign carriers (i.e., code share flights) are regarded as meeting Fly America requirements if the ticket is issued on the American carrier and there is an American carrier flight number.

d) Limitations. Travel reimbursement, which is part of ODC, shall not exceed the authorized ODC amount on the contract. To be reimbursable, the travel expenses must be:

1) Allowable under the FTR and the provisions of this contract/order and associated technical directives;

2) Approved prior to travel expenditure by the COR; and

3) Allocable and necessary for performance of this contract/order and associated technical directives.

e) Reimbursement Requests. Travel reimbursement requests must be submitted in sufficient time for the COR to give prior approval, and must identify:

1) The name of the traveler.

2) Destination (s) including itinerary.

3) Purpose of the travel; and

4) Cost breakdown.

5) To be reimbursed, invoices including travel expenses must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. Contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all travel expenses invoiced when the expenditure is $75.00 or more. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any travel expense paid.

f) Approvals. All travel expenses, including rental cars, must be approved by the MCC COR in writing in advance of booking any travel and incurring travel expenses. The following expense types require additional MCC pre-approvals beyond that of the COR. These additional approvals and associated justifications will be documented in writing:

1) Business class - Business class travel is considered to be exceptional, to be determined as part of a trip by trip analysis, and at the discretion of the government regardless of the destination or travel time. To reflect the exceptional nature of this approval, the justification for use of business class must be prepared by the COR and approved in writing by the relevant Managing Director or Deputy Vice President of the organization requesting the contractor to travel. The single exception to requiring this justification and approval for every trip in question is when a State Department approved medical accommodation has been granted. In this case, the approval of the COR and the Contracting Officer only is required after verifying that the medical accommodation is effective for the trip in question and that sufficient funds are available. All justifications must verify that the contractor is required to report for duty the following day or sooner, that the travel time for the trip is at least 14 hours, and that a rest stop will not be taken en route. For audit purposes, all justifications and approvals to this effect must be retained by the COR and the contractor until contract closeout at which point all documentation must be provided to the Contracting Officer for incorporation in the contract file. Below are possible justifications supporting these exceptional requests:

A) Medical accommodation -

MCC has engaged the services of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services (HHS), Federal Occupational Health Service (FOH), and Medical Employability Program (MEP) for medical accommodations due to disability adjudication.

Requests for, and HHS determinations on, medical accommodations for business class travel will be confidential, with only MCC's Travel Office receiving copies of the request and the MED/DP determination. Contractor travelers requesting medical accommodations based upon disability must complete the steps below. Forms are available from the MCC COR and/or PM.

1) Contractor traveler completes the Medical Employability Case Transmittal Form, A127523-S192701-W190333.

Form can be faxed to (301) 492-4783 or e-mailed to medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov with a copy to the MCC Travel Office at mccmedical@mcc.gov.

2) Contractor traveler forwards Physician a copy of the Medical Accommodation Physician's form, which the physician completes, dates, and signs. Once signed, the traveler OR their physician e-mails a scanned .pdf attachment to HHS at medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov. Alternatively, it can be faxed Attn: Medical Employability Program (301) 492-4783.

3) Once both forms have been completed and sent, HHS makes a medical determination based on the information provided by the traveler and the traveler's physician on the HHS/FOH/EMP forms. FOH will send a letter to the POC listed on the transmittal form with recommendations. MCC will not approve any business class accommodations beyond normal MCC guidelines unless the traveler has completed the medical accommodation paperwork and received a positive response from FOH/MEP.

4) Contractor must note that the process can take several weeks and will depend on how quickly HHS/FOH/MED receives the information (including communication with treating physicians).

mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov mailto:mccmedical@mcc.gov mailto:medical.employability@foh.hhs.gov

B) Sanitation/Health- Coach accommodations on an authorized/approved foreign air carrier do not provide adequate sanitation or health standards.

C) Savings- Flying in non-coach status would involve significant cost savings to MCC when compared to the lowest price non-refundable or restricted coach class fare.

D) Availability - No space is available in coach-class accommodations in time to accomplish the mission, which is urgent and cannot be postponed. (Note: this justification should not be used based on the lack of advanced planning by the contractor or the COR).

E) Security - Exceptional security circumstances require other than coach-class airline accommodations.

F) Mission critical agency requirement - circumstances in which a critical agency priority or project will incur delay or degradation without the intervention of a contractor and that intervention urgently requires other than coach class ticketing.

2) Coach "premium" class - coach "premium" class must be approved by the COR, subject to the availability of funds on the contract/order, and:

A) The origin and/or destination are OCONUS; and

B) The scheduled flight time including non-overnight stopovers and change of planes, is in excess of 14 hours. Scheduled flight time is the flight time between the originating departure point and the ultimate arrival point including scheduled non-overnight time spent at airports during plane changes. Scheduled non-overnight time does not include time spent at the originating or ultimate arrival airports. And;

C) The contractor is required to report to duty the following day or sooner; and

D) The contractor does not take a rest stop en route or a rest period upon arrival at the duty site.

3) Rest Stops - must be approved by the COR and cannot exceed 24 hours.

NOTE: Travelers may upgrade flight accommodations at their own expense or through the use of frequent flyer miles if the coach airfare is upgradeable at no extra cost to MCC.

MCC 52.232-74 ODC REIMBURSEMENT (JAN 2007)

Other Direct Charges (ODCs) will be reimbursed for direct costs as provided in the contract and/or task order. To be reimbursed, invoices including ODCs, must provide a detailed breakdown of the actual expenditures invoiced. The contractor shall maintain the original or legible copy of receipts for all ODCs invoiced. MCC reserves the right to request evidence of any ODC reimbursed. To assure timely reimbursement of ODC's, the contractor is strongly encouraged to submit charges within 45 days of the expense.
