Summary of Project and Activities. Over the past decade the Indonesian economy has experienced positive economic growth, witnessed large reductions in poverty, and has made continued progress towards many of its Millennium Development Goal targets for 2015. In spite of this progress, over 30 million Indonesians live below the poverty line (US$2 per day) and half of all households are clustered around the poverty line, which makes them highly vulnerable to income shocks. Of the poor, 65 percent currently live in rural areas. While Indonesia has already met and surpassed targeted reductions in the number of underweight children under five years old to below 18 percent and is on track to meeting its targets for reducing overall child mortality, other indicators of malnutrition should be considered. In particular, low height for age, more commonly known as stunting, reflects the cumulative effects of intergenerational poverty, poor maternal and early childhood nutrition and repeated childhood episodes of illness. It also reflects insufficient household purchasing power and poor access to education, housing, sanitation, and health services. After two years of age, the effects of early stunting are practically irreversible and have a life- long impact on an individual’s cognitive development and productivity. Stunting is also largely accepted as one of the best predictors of future productivity, as stunted children are at a higher risk of experiencing chronic disease, delayed cognitive development, delayed enrollment in school, and reductions in academic achievement and future earning potential. Currently, it is estimated that 37 percent of children, or one out of every three children under five in Indonesia, is shorter than the standard height for their age. The objective of the Community-Based Nutrition Project is to reduce and prevent low birth weight and childhood stunting and malnourishment of children in project areas, and to increase household income through cost savings, productivity growth and higher lifetime earnings. An additional purpose of the Community-Based Nutrition Project is to determine the effectiveness of the use of MCC Funding in a multi-donor trust fund managed by a multilateral institution and its impact on poverty reduction. The Community Based-Nutrition Project builds on and utilizes a community engagement implementing mechanism of block grants already tested under a Ministry of Home Affairs (“MOHA”) community-driven development program pilot, Generasi (“Generasi”), impl...
Summary of Project and Activities. The Energy Project comprises four interconnected activities designed to provide additional generation capacity, strengthen the management, project planning and project execution functions of the Liberia Electricity Corporation (“LEC”) and the Ministry of Lands, Mines and Energy (“MLME”), as well as support the establishment and development of an independent regulator for the sector.
Summary of Project and Activities. The majority of Indonesia’s poor live in rural areas rich in natural resources but over-extraction and inadequate management of these resources compromises Indonesia’s ability to sustain high rates of economic growth and reduce poverty. At the same time, it is estimated that over 10,000 villages in Indonesia do not have access to reliable and affordable electricity, and many more rely on expensive diesel generation. Illegal logging, land conversion for agriculture, water pollution, and other unsustainable land use practices are adversely affecting the natural assets that people rely on for their livelihoods and wellbeing. Indonesia is among the top emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. The majority of greenhouse gas emissions result from deforestation and land use conversion; however, emissions from energy and industrial sources are growing rapidly. The lack of clear data on land resource use and jurisdictional boundaries between villages and districts significantly hinders Government agencies and land use planners from managing critical natural resources effectively. Ultimately, protecting Indonesia’s natural resource base in the face of demographic, social, and economic forces requires sustainable and equitable economic alternatives. The Government is committed to a more sustainable, less carbon intensive future. The Government has made a commitment to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 26 percent by 2020 while maintaining a target of seven (7) percent annual economic growth. Increasing access to clean and reliable energy in rural areas and improving the stewardship of natural assets are critical priorities to achieving this goal. The GP Project will promote environmentally sustainable, low carbon economic growth as set forth in the Government’s medium- to long-term development plans (RPJP and RPJM), the National Greenhouse Gas Emission Reduction Action Plan (RAN-GRK), and Regional Spatial Plans (RTRW) (each a “Plan”). The GP Project will provide a combination of technical and financial assistance to support rural economic development that raises real incomes of Indonesians in a manner that reduces reliance on fossil fuels, improves land management practices, protects natural capital, and complements efforts to reduce emissions from deforestation and environmental degradation. The GP Project will involve local communities and governments in activities to improve the clarity and implementation of government policies and regulations that support low c...
Summary of Project and Activities. The Objective of the Electricity Generation Project is to: (A) increase the hours of operation for businesses and public and social services; (B) reduce reliance on costlier sources of energy; (C) reduce losses of products and perishable goods; and (D) improve productivity for users of electricity (the “Electricity Generation Project Objective”). To accomplish the Electricity Generation Project Objective, MCC Funding will be used to increase Benin’s domestic generation capacity by up to 78 MW while decreasing its dependence on external energy sources, specifically by installing photovoltaic generation capacity, rehabilitating existing thermal generation units and rehabilitating and installing additional generation capacity at an existing micro-hydroelectric power plant.
Summary of Project and Activities. The objectives of the Transition to High Value Agriculture Project are to: (i) increase rural incomes by stimulating growth in irrigated high value agriculture; and (ii) catalyze future investments in high value agriculture by establishing a successful and sustainable model of irrigation system and water resource management and a conducive institutional and policy environment for irrigated agriculture.
Summary of Project and Activities. The objectives of the water network restructuring and rehabilitation project (the “Water Network Project”) are to (1) improve the efficiency of network water delivery and the condition of home water systems, and (2) decrease certain costs that households in Zarqa Governorate incur to satisfy their subsistence water needs. The Water Network Project is designed to address high rates of water loss in the water supply network in Zarqa Governorate and provide direct assistance to poor households in improving their household water and sanitation infrastructure. The Water Network Project is comprised of two Activities: (A) the restructuring and rehabilitation of the water supply systems in key areas of Zarqa Governorate (the “Infrastructure Investment Activity”); and (B) assistance to households to improve the plumbing, water storage, sewage connections, and general awareness of best practices for sanitation and water efficiency (the “Water Smart Homes Activity,” or “WSH Activity”).
Summary of Project and Activities. The Objective of the Policy Reform and Institutional Strengthening Project is to strengthen the capacity of the Société Béninoise d’Energie Electrique (“SBEE”), Autorité de Régulation de l’Electricité (“ARE”), and other Government of Benin institutions to improve the governance, management, and operations of the electricity sector (“Policy Reform and Institutional Strengthening Project Objective”). To achieve the Policy Reform and Institutional Strengthening Project Objective, MCC Funding will support interventions to (A) improve governance in the electricity sector by supporting an independent and professional regulator, by reforming tariffs, by introducing independent power producers (“IPP”) and by enhancing energy efficiency; (B) improve management, operations and maintenance within SBEE; and (C) inform and educate the public on tariffs, energy efficiency and other key electricity sector issues.
Summary of Project and Activities. Two-thirds of Benin’s population does not have access to electricity. Many of these people are in rural areas where expansion of the existing grid is unlikely in the near or medium-term. The Objective of this Project is to increase access to electricity and thereby (A) increase the hours of operation for businesses and public and social services, (B) reduce reliance on costlier sources of energy, (C) reduce losses of products and perishable goods, and (D) improve productivity for users of electricity (the “Off-Grid Electricity Access Project Objective”). To accomplish the Off-Grid Electricity Access Project Objective, MCC Funding will provide financing for off-grid electrification, including institutional and household-level solar PV systems and mini-grid systems, and energy efficiency activities nationwide by providing funding through a grant facility, together with necessary funding for policy and institutional strengthening to support the entire off-grid power sector in Benin.
