The Millennium Challenge Corporation’s (MCC) Board of Directors has approved a five‐year, US$304.5 million Compact with the Republic of Namibia aimed at reducing poverty and increasing economic growth. The Compact seeks to improve the quality of education and training for underserved populations and to diversify Namibia’s export base by capitalizing on its comparative advantages (e.g., large areas of semiarid communal land suitable for livestock, and diverse wildlife and unique landscapes ideal for ecotourism) to increase the incomes of poor Namibians in rural areas of the country.

Millennium Challenge Account Namibia (MCA Namibia), on behalf of the Government of Namibia, intends to apply a portion of the proceeds of the Compact to eligible payments for the procurement of goods, works, non-consulting and consulting services. Payments by MCA Namibia will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions, including restrictions, on the use of MCC Funding of the Compact. No party other than the Government and MCA Namibia shall derive any rights from the Compact or have any claim to the proceeds of the MCC Funding.

The following list includes the procurements of goods, works, non-consultant and consulting services which appear in the Program’s Procurement Plan, as approved by MCA Namibia and MCC, for the period from November 1, 2010 to April 30, 2011. This General Procurement Notice shall be updated from time to time and as required, at least every six months.

Contracts for Goods, Works and Services financed under the program will be implemented according to the principles, rules and procedures set out in the MCA Namibia Procurement Rules. These Procurements Rules are annexed to the Namibian Compact signed between the United States of America and the Republic of Namibia, which can be found at MCA Namibia website www.mcanamibia.org.
