Common use of Projected Program Beneficiaries Clause in Contracts

Projected Program Beneficiaries. The M&E Plan shall also document the analysis conducted to identify the persons or entities expected to benefit from the Program. Beneficiary analysis is an extension of the CBA and seeks to disaggregate the total benefits to determine specifically which segments of society will benefit from the Projects and Activities. MCC considers beneficiaries of Projects and Activities to be those people who experience better standards of living as a result of the Project or Activity (as the case may be) through higher real incomes.4 For definitional purposes, it is important to note that not all MCC project participants are necessarily project beneficiaries. The expected beneficiaries of this Compact over 20 years (unless noted otherwise) are shown in the following table. The text below the table provides a description of the beneficiaries. Connectivity and Rural Transport Project 57,400,000 Promoting Reform and Investment in Agriculture Project 1,900,000 Coastal Livelihoods and Climate Resilience Project 1,500,000 Overall Compact* 57,400,000 * The CLCR and PRIA Project beneficiaries are also expected to benefit from the CTR Project. Therefore, the total number of beneficiaries is equal to the number of CTR Project beneficiaries. Connectivity and Rural Transport Project The Licungo Bridge investment is expected to directly benefit 372,000 direct users. In addition to these unique users who directly benefit, reduced transportation costs related to the investment are expected to indirectly benefit roughly 13.3 million individuals living to the north and east of the Licungo river through reduced cost of transported goods and services. The number of road users who benefit from the Rural Roads Activity will depend on the exact segments chosen and the extent to which there is overlap between unique users of the chosen segments. According to MCC's Guidelines for Economic and Beneficiary Analysis, the road maintenance Policy, Institutional Reform and Capacity Building Activity fits the criteria for a national-scale investment and, therefore, the entire population of the country—assessed at the 20th year of the time-horizon for the analysis—should be considered to benefit. This would include roughly 57.4 million individuals, according to UN World Population Prospects forecasts.5 4 As used in this Compact, the term “beneficiary” has the meaning described in the Guidelines for Economic and Beneficiary Analysis. 5 United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division (2022). World Population Prospects 2022, Online Edition. Promoting Reform and Investment in Agriculture Project The ZCAP Activity is expected to benefit roughly 34,600 smallholder farmers and 148,000 individuals in total.6 The PREFIA Activity is a fiscal reform that is expected to result in substantial transfers between individuals. Roughly 7.5 million individuals are expected to experience a gain in welfare as a result of the investment, while 5.7 million are expected to experience a loss. The table above reflects the net number of people expected to benefit, or 1.8 million.

The text below the table provides a description of the beneficiaries. Connectivity WSD Project: Water Disinfection 429,000 residents of Dili 64,000 residents of four Dili-adjacent districts WSD Project: Sanitation 301,000 residents of Dili TALENT Project 957,000 students *There is some anticipated overlap in beneficiaries across the projects so the beneficiaries cannot simply be added together to estimate total compact beneficiaries. Because poor households suffer higher disease burden than non-poor households, maximizing disease burden reduction meant maximizing the inclusion of the poor. The footprint of the sanitation system was thus chosen to maximize inclusion of poor households, given engineering and Rural Transport Project 57,400,000 Promoting Reform design constraints. Thus, while the poor represent just over 20% of the beneficiary population of the WSD Project, around 30% of the disease burden reduction and Investment in Agriculture Project 1,900,000 Coastal Livelihoods and Climate Resilience Project 1,500,000 Overall Compact* 57,400,000 * The CLCR and PRIA Project lives saved is expected to come from poor households. Given the broad scope of the TALENT Project, beneficiaries are also expected assumed to benefit from include all upper secondary graduates who were taught by Project-trained teachers and who subsequently entered the CTR Projectlabor force, as well as their co-householders. Therefore, the The total number of beneficiaries is equal estimated to the number of CTR Project beneficiaries.

The number of road users who benefit from the Rural Roads Activity will depend on the exact segments chosen and the extent to which there is overlap between unique users of the chosen segments. According to MCC's Guidelines for Economic and Beneficiary Analysisbeneficiary analysis suggests that at least initially, the road maintenance Policy, Institutional Reform and Capacity Building Activity fits the criteria for a nationalpoor will be moderately under-scale investment and, therefore, the entire population of the country—assessed at the 20th year of the time-horizon for the analysis—should be considered to benefit.
