Opportunity Summary:
The Impact Evaluation Partnership opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MCC-09-0114) is a discretionary cooperative agreement offered by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to support a single partnership with an organization that specializes in assembling and synthesizing evidence from poverty reduction projects outside the United States. The core idea is to connect MCC to a respected impact evaluation community and to strengthen the practical evidence base around what interventions work, under what conditions they work, why they work, and what they cost. Rather than funding a stand-alone service delivery program, this opportunity is aimed at knowledge generation and evidence coordination, with an emphasis on rigorous impact evaluation and learning that can inform future poverty reduction investments.
MCCs goals for the partnership are twofold. First, MCC wants to become an active member of a network of organizations known for high-quality impact evaluation, so that MCC can participate in and benefit from shared standards, methods, and learning in the evaluation field. Second, MCC wants a seat at the table in shaping future research priorities in areas where MCC invests, allowing the agency to help steer the evaluation agenda toward sectors and themes that matter for MCC programs and decision-making.
The requested work is split into two main service areas: membership services and research agenda services. Membership services include organizing or providing access to workshops and conferences focused on rigorous impact evaluation; offering publicity and visibility for key MCC events and MCC publications related to impact evaluation; and supporting a broader public good aligned with MCCs results orientation, specifically building a stronger evidence base on what works and what does not work in poverty reduction and the reasons behind those outcomes. Research agenda services focus on enabling MCC to participate in selecting priority sectors or themes for research into poverty reduction effectiveness, and providing opportunities for MCC to integrate its specific learning questions into future evaluations carried out by the partner organization.
In funding terms, MCC expected to make one award under this announcement. The award amount ranges from a floor of $75,000 to a ceiling of $375,000, and there is no cost sharing or matching requirement. The opportunity was open to unrestricted eligible applicants, meaning it was broadly available to any type of entity unless further limits were described elsewhere in the full announcement. The activity category is listed as Information and Statistics, which fits the emphasis on evidence compilation, evaluation networks, and research prioritization rather than direct implementation of field programs.
Key administrative details include a posted date of September 3, 2009, with an original and current closing date of October 1, 2009, and an archive date of October 31, 2009. For applicants who had trouble accessing the full announcement, MCC provided a point of contact: Dorothy McKelvin, Senior Contract Specialist, at 202-521-3731.
