INDIVIDUAL CONSULTANT FOR ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL PERFORMANCE SERVICES for
Millennium Foundation Kosovo

IC/ MFK/2020/010

The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (“MCC”) and the Government of Kosovo (the “Government”) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Threshold Program Grant Agreement for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in Kosovo (the “Threshold Program Grant Agreement”) in the amount of approximately forty-nine million Dollars [US $ Threshold Program 49 million (“MCC Funding”). The Government, acting through the Millennium Foundation Kosovo   (the “MFK”), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Letter of Invitation (“LOI”) is issued.

The Threshold Program includes the following projects:

a) Reliable Energy Landscape Project: Demand for electricity significantly surpasses supply in Kosovo, and the country struggles with the reliability of its energy supply. This project encourages greater household energy efficiency and facilitates the switch to non-electric sources of heating through a pilot activity. MCC’s investments also work to bolster private-sector participation in the power sector by exploring barriers to finance for independent power producers, and create opportunities for women to participate in the energy sector through both employment and entrepreneurship and

b) Transparent and Accountable Governance Project: Government decision-making is often opaque, leading to distrust by the private sector and civil society, and high perceptions of corruption. Kosovo’s judiciary is one the country’s least trusted institutions. This project supports the implementation of a case management information system to make judicial information publicly available, and improvements to the collection and reporting of environmental data to the public. An open innovation competition will let the government pose their challenges to civil society and private sector stakeholders to propose creative, data-grounded solutions, which can be a model for more productive partnerships between government and civil society.
