USAID Sample Clauses

USAID. To the extent relevant, MCC expects to coordinate with USAID on potential investments relevant to its programming as ACFD Project activities are identified.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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 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.
