Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. The Airport Improvement Project leverages and complements other donor, private sector and civil society activities in Mali as described below. Throughout implementation, MCC will continue to collaborate with these donors to strengthen the institutional reforms and broaden access to the Airport for passengers and goods. USDOT Safe Skies for Africa (SSFA) The SSFA program is intended to promote sustainable improvements in aviation safety, security, and air navigation, and to support Africa’s integration into the global economy. It is based on the premise that “Safe Skies” are a prerequisite for increased trade and investment and long-term economic development in Africa. Specific goals of the SSFA program include: (a) increasing the number of sub-Saharan African countries that meet ICAO safety standards (based on Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) assessments); (b) improving airport security in the region; and
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. The Dutch Development Agency, French Development Agency, the World Bank, and USAID, in particular, have been working in the ON over the past several decades resulting in a more efficient, decentralized management structure, while increasing production and productivity of the Alatona zone. The Alatona Irrigation Project leverages and complements other donor, private sector and civil society activities in Mali as described below. Throughout implementation, MCC will continue to collaborate with these donors to ensure equitable water distribution, transfer of skills and knowledge in agriculture production, farm management and access to credit for the farmers. The Alatona Irrigation Project will involve close coordination with donors involved in strengthening the management of the ON agency to provide effective operations and maintenance of the irrigation infrastructure, as well as conformity with the established cropping calendar.
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. Activities supported under the Education Activity will interface with the principal strategies of the international donor community, and is in consonance with the national educational development plan, Plan 2021, that receives support from major donors. Initial coordination meetings have been held with the World Bank, the Inter-American Development Bank (“IADB”), the European Union, the Japanese International Cooperation Agency and donor agencies within El Salvador’s private sector. Private sector organizations are already intensely involved in the delivery of human resources development in El Salvador. The private business group FEPADE plays a major role in overseeing five vocational training facilities, and will be assigned a critical role in MCC funded operations. Several donors, including the German Development Bank, IADB, the European Union, and Luxemburg, support FISDL programs that invest in providing basic services (including water and sanitation) to communities throughout El Salvador. FISDL’s Red Solidaria is the largest program, targeting the 100 poorest municipalities of El Salvador. Current plans across these programs include the investment of nearly US$ 30 million in the Northern Zone over the 2006 to 2011 period. However, the Community Development Activity has targeted municipalities (among those deemed the poorest) where currently there are no plans for funding. The Community Infrastructure Sub-Activity will constitute an extension of Red Solidaria. In extending the reach of Red Solidaria efforts rather than overlapping with them, MCC Funding will be dedicated to projects and communities (among the poorest) where there are not existing plans or dedicated funds from other donors. Japan and the European Union are the primary donors already active in rural electrification in El Salvador. To ensure there is no overlap in funding with MCC, the Government, through MINEC, has indicated that US$ 6.6 millions from these two donors that had initially been planned for rural electrification programs in the Northern Zone will be redirected to municipalities outside the Northern Zone. Several national and international NGOs are active in water and sanitation in El Salvador, with experience in of the areas of project development, design, and implementation; these include CARE, Project Concern International, and Plan International. These organizations are eligible to submit proposals for and could potentially be selected to perform projects under the Water ...
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. Loans and donations programmed by multilateral institutions in 2005 for El Salvador totaled $128.61 million. Out of the planned and on-going donor assistance to El Salvador, the amount targeted for the Northern Zone amounts to $43.5 million from multilateral donors: (a) World Bank - $20.1 million for Land Regularization Program; (b) International Fund for Agricultural Development - $10.8 million for agricultural development; (c) the Central American Bank for Economic Integration - $3.3 million for agricultural development; and (d) IADB - $3.1 million for Environmental Management of the Xxxxx River Valley. MCC has consulted IADB on two projects with relevance to the Financial Services Activity. First, the IADB is expecting to approve a micro-finance project of $1.5 million This IADB project will increase the resources available for on-lending from qualified intermediaries to micro and small enterprises. These intermediaries in turn will be eligible for participating in the PROGARA guarantee program, and therefore will have a ready source of funds available for lending to potential guarantees beneficiaries of the Financial Services Activity. Second, IADB has approved a regional technical assistance program for improving agricultural insurance programs in Central America. The program seeks to strengthen the regulatory and legal framework for agricultural insurance in the region; develop a platform to systematize climatologic information for risk analysis, and design innovative insurance products for agriculture. Although the Financial Services Activity will not be directly affected by this IADB project, the development of better risk analysis tools will be a positive factor for the growth of the agricultural insurance market in El Salvador. The World Bank is providing advisory and financial assistance to complete the SEA related to the Program, the first of its kind led by XXXX. Bilateral assistance in the Northern Zone amounts to $30 million, comprised of assistance from the European Union ($24.7 million to support a bi-national program), GTZ ($800,000 for environmental management), and China, Japan and USAID ($3.5 million for agricultural development). Japan’s recent four-year, $90 million loan activity for the Port of Cutuco is directly relevant to the Productive Development Project, as this investment will enhance the importance of the Northern Zone as a logistical corridor and source for labor and agricultural commodities. The Productive Development Proj...
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. The Health Project will complement the activities of other donors in the health sector, including ADB, Japanese International Corps of Welfare Services and the World Health Organization (“WHO”) that, once having focused on child health and communicable diseases in the past, are increasingly including general support for NCDIs in their programs. Specifically, the Health Project will build upon WHO’s laboratory specimen transport system and ADB’s physician training, as well as the University of Toronto’s research on cervical cancer diagnosis. While the majority of care within Mongolia for chronic NCDIs (including cancers and cardiovascular diseases) takes place in the public sector, the nascent private sector for health care is growing. For this reason, consultations have taken place with a private hospital association and various physician groups in the design of the Health Project. Civil society’s role is expected to be vital as community-level mobilization and motivation for behavioral changes are explored and implemented under the Health Project. The Project also expects to engage international and domestic non-government organizations, academic institutions and research bodies in multi- sectoral efforts to reduce NCDIs. In addition, given the target age-groups, work-place programs will be emphasized in NCDI outreach and early detection programs.
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. Where a number of donors, trade associations and agricultural lenders are already supporting capacity building of the agriculture industry, the Commercial Training Activity, the Irrigation Activity and the Post-Harvest Activity will build upon, and complement, these existing efforts. The lessons learned from other donors’ experiences, especially regarding the need to avoid narrowly targeted lending and over-subsidization of interest rates, in order to encourage sustainability will be incorporated into the implementation of the Credit Activity. The World Bank, Department for International Development of the United Kingdom, KfW Entwicklungsbank, Canadian International Development Agency, Deutsche Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit (GTZ) GmbH, and Nordic Development Fund all support the LAP. The Land Activity has been conceived within the framework of the LAP and the various lessons learned from the LAP to date will be considered in the implementation of the Land Activity. Selection of feeder roads for inclusion under the Feeder Roads Activity has been coordinated with those roads being funded by the EU under its Feeder Roads Improvement Project. Ongoing consultations with private sector representatives, as well as smallholder farmers, large farmers, agricultural input suppliers, development organizations, microfinance institutions, processors, traders, exporters and transporters of agricultural products, agricultural industry associations, formal banking institutions, research and higher education institutions, and the representatives of women’s and environmental NGOs will be held by MiDA throughout the implementation of the Agriculture Project.
Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. The project will be implemented in coordination with several on-going projects by other donors, including ADB’s “Third Education Development Project” that seeks, among others, to reform the TVET system, a project funded by the Japan Fund for Poverty Reduction for the promotion of non-formal construction worker skills training for vunerable youth and poor adults, Gesellschaft für Technische Zusammenarbeit’s “Urban Development, Construction Sector and VET Promotion Program,” as well as its projects on small and medium enterprises promotion.

Donor Coordination; Role of Private Sector and Civil Society. Donors, including the governments of Sweden, Norway, Japan, the World Bank and the AfDB, among others, play an active role in improving Tanzania’s energy sector through technical assistance and infrastructure projects. The Energy Sector Project has benefited significantly from these donors’ activities. For example, the Malagarasi hydropower plant project benefited from a pre-feasibility study financed by the AfDB. The MCC’s due diligence review of the Distribution Systems Rehabilitation and Extension Activity benefited from active support of the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency and the World Bank. The Government has been engaged in an extensive consultative process that allowed civil society, along with the business community, to discuss local needs and priorities relating to the Energy Sector Project. Such consultation is expected to continue during the implementation of the Energy Sector Project.
