Donor Coordination Clause Samples

Donor Coordination. The due diligence for the tax administration aspects of the Revenue Administration Reform Project was undertaken in close cooperation with the IMF’s Fiscal Affairs Division as well as with the World Bank’s National Program Supporting Tax Administration Reform program to support tax reform efforts in the Philippines. The outlines of the eTIS sub-Activity and its emphasis on process redesign and training are based on long-standing recommendations that have been made by the IMF and World Bank to the BIR. It is anticipated that the tax administration advisors provided to the BIR under the Compact will be sourced through the IMF and coordinated by a resident IMF advisor in Manila, the Philippines. The Automated Audit Tools sub-Activity builds on the previous efforts of the Swedish International Development Agency and the World Bank. Both donors have sponsored pilot programs in the utilization of automated audit tools.

Donor Coordination. Throughout the multi-year development of the Compact, MCC and the Government have engaged in an inclusive process that included consultations with the United States Government, Nepali communities and key private sector actors, non-government actors, and other donors as well as multilateral organizations. In particular, MCC worked closely with the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank in reviewing and agreeing on various power sector reforms required in Nepal for future programming by the two banks. MCC also consulted frequently with the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (“DFID”) during its preparation of a political economy analysis of power sector reform.

Donor Coordination. The Secondary National Road Development Project is anchored on preliminary work undertaken with the assistance of Japan Bank for International Cooperation (now known as the Japan International Cooperation Agency), which was instrumental in identifying viable priority road segments eligible for MCC investments. MCC has coordinated closely with the World Bank on the ongoing efforts in: (i) road sector reform; (ii) improving the adequacy of the “Special Road Support Fund” (as described below);

Donor Coordination. There are two primary donors working on maintenance related work on the SRN: the Asian Development Bank and DFID. MCC will coordinate its technical assistance efforts under the Compact, to the extent possible, to reinforce these technical assistance efforts.

Donor Coordination. While DFC will appraise, oversee, and monitor ACFD Project transactions, MCC and the Government expect to work closely with DFC during all phases of the ACFD Project from identifying transactions to developing, designing, and implementing such transactions.

Donor Coordination. The Electricity Generation Project has and will continue to benefit from coordination among the Parties and other donors. Donors who are currently working on electricity generation include, among others: (1) the World Bank and the EU, which are funding updates to existing feasibility studies for hydroelectric plants along the Oueme River; and (2) the Islamic Development Bank, which is considering funding a thermal generation plant at the ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ site in Cotonou. A Communauté Electrique du Bénin (“CEB”) hydropower plant currently is under development at Adjarala on the Benin-Togo border, to be funded through the China Export-Import Bank. This plant is anticipated to provide power to CEB, which in turn will supply it to SBEE and to the Compagnie Energie Electrique du Togo.

Donor Coordination. MCC has coordinated closely with the two donors most active in the agriculture sector in Moldova – USAID and the World Bank – on the Transition to High Value Agriculture Project. MCC has also worked closely with the European Union, World Bank, Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development, and the United Nations Development Fund for Women on environmental and social issues such as water resource management and gender. Further, the World Bank Mission in Chisinau, Moldova, and World Bank sector and regional specialists in Washington, DC, have provided contacts, studies, lessons learned, and informal peer review at all stages in the process starting with early concerns about land tenure and consolidation issues. Input and collaboration between the World Bank and MCC have been the most significant and influential in the development of the access to agricultural finance, irrigation management transfer, and food safety components and interventions. Also significant is the successful partnership between USAID, MCC and MCA-Moldova. USAID and ▇▇▇ worked together to develop a joint project designed to build on USAID’s 15 years of experience in the agriculture sector and, at the same time, support the significant MCC irrigation infrastructure investment. Subject to the availability of funds, the joint Growing High Value Agriculture Sales Activity is intended to provide the technical assistance and market development support needed to help producers transition to high value agriculture fruit and vegetable crops. The Growing High Value Agriculture Sales Activity, which will target, but will not be limited to, areas where MCC irrigation rehabilitation will occur, is designed to emphasize promotion of market opportunities within Moldova and encourage increased private sector and foreign investment in the high value agriculture sector. Subject to the availability of funds, USAID intends to contribute funding for the Growing High Value Agriculture Sales Activity, which would be administered by USAID on behalf of MCA-Moldova. This joint approach addresses and reduces implementation capacity concerns by allowing for improved implementation and project oversight and more efficient use of resources.

Donor Coordination. The Project design draws extensively on the work of other donors. MCC consulted with the EU on the IWRM, and with the World Bank and AfDB on irrigation and agriculture. Lessons learned, particularly with regard to including supporting technical assistance for farmers, have been incorporated to improve the design of this project and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ its sustainability. A number of other donors have been active in the target rural areas of the Project, including the World Bank, AfDB, USAID, the Fonds Européen De Développement (“FED”) as well as Swiss and Belgian bilateral aid agencies. In several cases, the actions to be taken under the Project complement other initiatives. For example, the market information system will continue work begun under a USAID project, and the improvements to district markets will draw on the experience of the Swiss Development Agency. In addition, the Access to Rural Finance Project Activity has been designed in consultation with other donor funded micro, small and medium sized rural enterprise (“MSME”) activities in Burkina Faso. In particular, synergies will be gained in implementation through close coordination with the International Finance Corporation’s MSME credit program, the World Bank’s Projet d’Appui aux Filières Agro-Sylvo-Pastoral Project (“PAFASP”), and the World Bank and EU-funded Maison de l’Enterprise which provides business support services. MCC anticipates that consultations will continue with these donors and with others who may develop interventions within the Project zones.

Donor Coordination. The majority of donors in Vanuatu have focused more consistently on the social sectors. Donors such as Australia and New Zealand have recently committed to enlarging their assistance to the agriculture and tourism sectors in response to the priorities for growth and poverty reduction outlined in the Government’s PAA. MCC’s focus on transport infrastructure presents a number of mutually beneficial coordination opportunities with ongoing and planned donor programs, namely: the European Union (the “EU”) and France’s Agricultural Producers Organization Project; the EU and the Asian Development Bank’s (“ADB”) Tourism Training and Education project; ADB’s Rural Credit Strengthening and Secured Transaction Framework projects; New Zealand Agency for International Development’s Customary Land Tenure initiatives; the Australian Agency for International Development’s “AusAID”) Business Climate Reform program; and the EU’s Institutional Strengthening for Infrastructure Maintenance program. Moreover, AusAid is providing funding for key household data surveys (such as the Household Income and Expenditure Survey (“HIES”), which will be used in monitoring Program impacts. The United States Agency for International Development does not maintain a mission in Vanuatu and is not currently providing any development assistance programs to Vanuatu.
