USAID Sample Clauses

USAID. During Compact development, MCC coordinated closely with USAID. Representatives from USAID participated in the peer review of proposed compact activities. The Parties will work with USAID, as appropriate, to identify and explore potential opportunities for future coordination with respect to IPPs associated with the Electricity Generation Project.

USAID. While USAID is not currently active in secondary national road rehabilitation in the Philippines, USAID’s “Growth with Equity in Mindanao” Program mentioned above includes the development of road infrastructure.

USAID. The United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) has had significant experience with community-based development that targets poor communities, and the “Growth with Equity in Mindanao” Program has provided a number of lessons for the implementation of the KALAHI-CIDSS Project as it relates to small-infrastructure construction specifically. Approximately 60 percent of USAID’s program funding is provided to Mindanao and the agency aims to continue these investments and others like it in the region. Therefore, USAID, the World Bank and MCC agreed that MCC would concentrate its KALAHI-CIDSS Project in the Luzon and Visayas regions thereby broadening the reach of such programs throughout the Philippines.

USAID. The Electricity Transmission Project benefits from close inter-agency collaboration between MCC and USAID. Specifically, MCC has coordinated closely with USAID on its US$10 million ongoing technical assistance activity, which provides a review of the Government’s regulatory regime and provides ongoing assistance to the Government to achieve financial close on several large hydropower project transactions. USAID’s assistance is complementary to MCC’s efforts in the electricity sector.

USAID. USAID is not currently funding any programs in Nepal specifically targeting the transport sector. Throughout the implementation of the Compact, MCC will coordinate with USAID if any transport-related activities are supported by USAID.

USAID. MCC’s due diligence relied heavily on the reports and findings of MCC’s Philippines Threshold Program administered by USAID. That program included support for anti-corruption activities under the aegis of the office of the ombudsman, and assistance to the Department of Finance’s anti-corruption units, as well as the extension of the Integrated Tax System (eTIS’ predecessor) to regional offices that had not previously been able to implement that system. The lessons learned under MCC’s Philippines Threshold Program were the basis for decisions to focus on internal administrative disciplinary procedures (the focus of the RIPS Activity) rather than the pursuit of tax evaders and smugglers through the courts, to broaden the scope of tax administration, and to focus more resources on training and process redesign than on hardware and software.

USAID. USAID recently performed a school rehabilitation project in Georgia and has provided valuable data and lessons learned from this work. In addition, USAID’s Georgia Primary Education Project (“G-PriEd”) is supporting a variety of activities in the education sector including classroom diagnostic assessments in grades 1-6. G-PriEd provided a tool for Georgian teachers to assess students’ knowledge and skills in critical competency areas of reading and mathematics. It will be used by teachers in the classroom to ensure that children are on track to meet standards. While the Georgian national standards in reading and mathematics include a framework for formative assessment, there is no systematic assessment approach for diagnosing students’ performance in core reading and math competencies. G-PriEd’s diagnostic assessment approach will be used to target skills in critical competency areas of reading and mathematics in the Georgian national curriculum and thus have a direct relation with curricula and instruction in Georgian schools. Teachers will be trained to carry out classroom diagnostics and will be able to use the tool for feedback to adjust ongoing teaching and learning in order to improve students’ achievement of intended instructional outcomes. MCC plans to incorporate this approach and the lessons learned as part of its support for classroom assessments in grades 7-12. Building on USAID’s work described above, MCC will strengthen NAEC to design and facilitate effective strategies for classroom-based assessments and develop materials, including sample tasks and tests that can be used by teachers to improve their own assessment practices.

USAID. MCC has been in constant coordination with the United States Agency for International Development (“USAID”) to ensure that the GP Project complements other US Government priorities including the Indonesia Clean Energy Development Project (ICED), the Indonesia Forest and Climate Support Project (IFACS), and Low Emission Development Strategy (LEDS). In addition, MCC will draw upon the work of a US Government expert team consisting of the United States Forest Service (as the lead agency), the United States Geological Survey, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to jointly assess needs and develop a program of assistance to create a single authoritative map of Indonesia, starting with forestry and climate change that is consistent with the Geospatial Law of April 2011.
