- The Millennium Challenge Corporation in the community development sector is offering a public funding opportunity titled "Nutrition and Community Development" and is now available to receive applicants.
- This funding opportunity was created on May 26, 2011 and posted on May 26, 2011.
- Applicants must submit their applications by Jun 2, 2011. (Agency may still review applications by suitable applicants for the remaining/unused allocated funding in 2026.)
- Each selected applicant is eligible to receive up to $561,616.00 in funding.
- The number of recipients for this funding is limited to 1 candidate(s).
- Eligible applicants include: Others (see text field entitled Additional Information on Eligibility for clarification).
- This is a Notice of Intent of a single source grant agreement award to The World Bank, Indonesia. The grantee for this project was chosen because of unique ability. The World Bank contains well known experts in project development and investment analyses. This will include at least two separate grants to the World Bank Indonesia for technical and analytical services. The two projects are 1) a project to support demand and supply interventions that would lead to reduced stunting, among other indicators, for the poor based on the community development experience gained under the World Bank supported community development program (PNPM/Generasi), and 2) a project targeted at the vocational education and youth employment sectors, following the earlier World Bank design for the Life Skills Education for Employment and Entrepreneurship Project (LSE 3). The activities to be undertaken build on World Bank Government of Indonesia joint efforts. The World Bank implements the PNPM Support Fund for the Government of Indonesia and piloted the Generasi program which serves as the basis for the nutrition/community development activity. The World Bank also appraised the youth employment project in June 2010 and has a rich array of data and experience useful in working with the Government to further build the rationale and analytical basis for the proposed youth employment activity. The grantee has a demonstrated track record for completion of projects on time and on budget with excellent quality. The Grantee is uniquely qualified to carry out the terms of this grant in a cost effective manner.

Opportunity Summary:
The Nutrition and Community Development opportunity (Funding Opportunity Number MCC 9023 RFA 63) was a discretionary grant issued by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to support the Government of Indonesia with further project design work, building directly on programs already operating effectively in-country. Rather than funding a wide-open competition, this announcement functioned as a notice of intent for a single-source grant agreement award to the World Bank in Indonesia, based on the World Bank's specialized expertise, existing operational footprint, and established working relationship with the Government of Indonesia. The core purpose was technical and analytical support to strengthen project rationale, design quality, and investment analysis so future interventions could be implemented on a sound evidence base.
The grant was structured around at least two separate but related streams of work to be carried out by the World Bank Indonesia for technical and analytical services. First, it supported the design of demand- and supply-side interventions intended to reduce stunting and improve related outcomes for poor communities, leveraging lessons from Indonesia's community development platform and, specifically, experience from the World Bank-supported PNPM/Generasi program. This emphasis reflects an approach where community-level incentives and service delivery improvements are designed together, using what has already been learned from large-scale community-driven development efforts in Indonesia.
Second, the grant supported additional design work in the vocational education and youth employment space, building on earlier World Bank preparation for the Life Skills Education for Employment and Entrepreneurship Project (LSE 3). The notice highlights that the World Bank had already appraised a youth employment project in June 2010 and possessed extensive data and practical experience relevant to refining the analytical basis and justification for a proposed youth employment activity. In other words, MCC intended the funds to help convert prior analytical and design groundwork into a more complete, decision-ready project package aligned with the Government of Indonesia's priorities.
In terms of award details, the opportunity anticipated a single award, with no cost sharing or matching requirement. The award ceiling was $561,616 and the award floor was listed as $0. The posted and creation dates were May 26, 2011, with an original and current closing date of June 2, 2011, and the opportunity was archived on June 3, 2011. Eligibility was not open to typical applicant pools; it was limited in practice because it was a single-source notice naming the World Bank as the intended grantee, justified by its "unique ability" to deliver the required project development and investment analysis work cost effectively, and by its track record for delivering on time, on budget, and with strong quality. For access issues with the full announcement, the listed MCC contact was Patrice Lopez, Contract Specialist (202-521-2635, lopezpa@mcc.gov).
