Section C - Description/Specifications/Work Statement

Section C. Statement of Work

C.1. Background

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a United States independent government agency created under Title VI of the Foreign Operations, Export Financing, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2004 and is responsible for the stewardship of the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA). MCC works with developing countries to promote sustainable economic growth to reduce poverty. Eligible countries develop specific investment programs in furtherance of the goal of economic development to be funded by MCC over a five-year period and implemented by the country partner.

In December 2016, MCC's Board of Directors selected Burkina Faso for a second compact. The Government of Burkina Faso (GoBF) established the Unité de Coordination de la Formulation du Second Compact du Burkina Faso (UCF-Burkina) hereinafter "UCF", to lead its compact development efforts. The compact development process began with a constraints analysis, which identified the high cost of energy and low access to electricity as one of the two most binding constraints to economic growth in Burkina Faso. (Note 1: The second constraint was low skills.) After the constraints analysis, MCC and UCF conducted a root cause analysis, which resulted in concept notes that MCC's and UCF's respective board of directors have approved.

In February 2018, MCC and UCF began the project definition phase, which includes commissioning studies and further analysis to better understand the activities that could be implemented to address the root causes identified in the previous phase. These activities will align with the Government of Burkina Faso's energy sector strategy articulated in the Plan National de Développement Economique et Social (PNDES) and leverage other actors' efforts in supporting Burkina Faso's energy sector.

The primary economic benefits from the five-year MCC compact with the GoBF may derive from the following: reduced fiscal burden associated with GoBF subsidies, efficiency gains or reduced cost of service of the national electrical utility and independent power producers, reduced cost of electricity consumption for households and businesses, and increased electricity consumption and access. A key assumption of the economic model is that by making supply for electric energy more adequate and reliable, and by making the tariff system transparent, businesses and households will shift from using alternative energy sources (relatively more expensive) to using electricity. A longer-term economic benefit may include increased income and productivity as a result of higher quality and more reliable electricity.

C.2. Scope

The objective of this Request for Quote (RFQ) is to collect data from households and businesses in Burkina Faso to assess:

1. The potential economic benefit of the incremental value of using higher energy value and lower cost per unit of electric service instead of alternative energy sources such as generators, candles, kerosene lamps, charcoal, wood, and batteries for lighting and household appliances

2. Households' and firms' willingness to pay (WTP) for more reliable electricity supply; (Note 2: Willingness to pay:

The maximum amount that an individual indicates that he or she is willing to pay for a good or service. Economic benefit: The increased benefit that a recipient could receive from a proposed project compared to his or her present situation. In the case of an electrification project, it indicates the attributed benefit of the electric service in monetary units, versus the use of current energy alternatives.)

3. Socio-economic details regarding beneficiaries (gender, socio-professional category, poor / non-poor, and those outlined in the Senegal survey; see Section J attachment for a sample questionnaire).

4. Geo-spatial coordinates of respondent households and community level electricity poles.

A critical outcome of this effort is to develop and test a rigorous and concise methodology for designing a survey that captures intra-household dynamics and gender differentiated benefits and use of electrification.

C.3. Tasks

CLIN 0001:

1. Document Review: The contractor shall review documents on the Burkina Faso II compact development process, the energy sector in Burkina Faso, and relevant national-level statistical studies (e.g. national enterprise survey, national census data).

2. Locations: The following regions are targeted for the survey: North (particularly the city of Ouahigouya and around cities), Boucle du Mouhoun (particularly Dedougou and around cities), Sud-Ouest (particularly Gaoua and around cities), Centre-Nord (particulary Kaya and Kongoussi and around cities), Centre (particulary Ouagadougou and around cities), and Haut-Bassins (Bobo-Dioulasso and around cities).

3. Work plan development: The contractor shall draft and submit a work plan with expected deadlines for deliverables. It shall include plans related to finalizing the survey instrument, training, enumerator training manuals, testing and piloting data collection instruments, field manuals, data collection implementation, data cleaning, and data analysis report.

4. Survey protocol development: The contractor shall provide a document summarizing all survey protocols related to the sampling frame, drop criteria, replacement strategy, target respondents, informed consent, and protection of human subjects, interview techniques, security, and data quality. The contractor is expected to propose a sample, which will be representative at the national level, adjusted for electricity use, with over-sampling in the regions mentioned under paragraph 2 above. The contractor may propose random stratified sampling according to characteristics such as number of employees and sector for businesses and electricity access for households. The contractor may also identify initial within strata variables such as sex or age of the head of household or business owner. Approximately 4,000 households and 700 businesses (80% informal and 20% formal) would be included in the sample. The contractor is expected to collect geographic coordinates for each household and business that is surveyed. The contractor is expected to work on sampling with the national statistical agency, Institut National de la Statistique et de la Démographie (INSD), to obtain access (this may be purchased) to national census data and the cartography of Burkina Faso.

5. Survey instrument development: MCC and UCF will provide the contractor with a first draft of the survey questionnaire, which the contractor will use as reference. The contractor shall revise the wording of questionnaires, especially the WTP module, to ensure consistency. MCC and UCF will provide final approval on the survey instrument, English or French version. The contractor will be responsible for translating the survey instrument into national languages. The contractor shall propose the national languages for translation based on the tradeoffs between translation costs and preventing bias from having too few languages.

6. Institutional Review Board (IRB): The contractor must initiate necessary US and/or in-country IRB authorization for use of human subjects in social research as early as possible to not cause any delays in the data collection.

7. Survey testing and piloting: In accordance with its testing and piloting plan, the contractor shall pilot the survey instrument, sampling approach, and data collection tools. The contractor shall train supervisors who will conduct the piloting. The contractor shall submit a pilot report including clean data from the pilot. The contractor is expected to develop a software application for Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing (CAPI) with tablets and train the data collection team in its use.

8. Sampling: The sample shall be drawn from the updated census of selected enumeration areas. The contractor shall work with INSD to obtain enumeration area population with key variables such as access to electricity to ensure proper sampling.

9. Data collection training: The contractor shall hire and train the supervisors and interviewers in accordance with the training plan developed. MCC and the contractor will provide training of trainers before the main data collection training. The contractor shall prepare training materials (e.g. manual and PowerPoint presentations), which MCC will review and validate. The training shall cover the entire questionnaire and all survey protocols. It shall also include how to use the tablet, mock interviewing, pilot testing in the field, time for debrief, and a test to select interviewers. Basic information regarding electricity will also be included in the training. UCF can provide assistance by using their engineers to support that effort.

10. Data collection and monitoring data quality: The contractor is responsible for implementing data collection and monitoring data quality in accordance to its relevant plans developed under Tasks CLIN 0001 paragraph 3 of this section.

11. Data cleaning: The Contractor shall provide clean data sets with geo-referenced observations and a data collection report. Any missing values must be coded consistently. All variables must be named and labelled according to MCC's specifications.

12. Data analysis report: The Contractor shall draft an analytical report summarizing the study's findings for households and firms. MCC expects the following non-exhaustive topic areas to be included in the report:

methodology and study limitations, socio-economic and demographic information of respondents, energy consumption (level, type, unserved demand, and location), energy access and perceptions of quality of service, and willingness to pay. See sample reports in Section J.

Work products include, but are not limited to, all reports, research protocols, questionnaires, other survey materials and other documents delivered by the Contractor under this Contract.

At its discretion, MCC may ask the Contractor to submit draft reports intended for public dissemination to MCC or its designee for disclosure review prior to release.

Neither MCC nor the Government shall in any event be liable or responsible for any damage or injury to any person or property occasioned by the action of the Contractor or the Contractor's employees or agents in performing under this Contract.

To claim exemption from an IRB review, the Contractor must provide evidence to MCC that an OHRP-registered IRB has determined the Contractor's proposed research to be exempt from review for one of the reasons described in the HHS regulations found at 45 CFR 46.101(b).
