- 1. The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (�MCC�) and the Government of C�te d�Ivoire (the �Government� or �GoCI�) have entered into a Millennium Challenge Compact for Millennium Challenge Account assistance to help facilitate poverty reduction through economic growth in C�te d`Ivoire (the �Compact�) in the amount of approximately US$ 524.7 million (�MCC Funding�). The Government, acting through MCA-C�te d�Ivoire (the �MCA Entity�), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Invitation for Bids (�IFB�) is issued. Any payments made by the MCA-C�te d�Ivoire under the proposed contract will be subject, in all respects, to the terms and conditions of the Compact and related documents, including restrictions on the use and distribution of MCC Funding. The Compact and its related documents can be found on the MCC website (www.mcc.gov) and on the MCA-C�te d�Ivoire website (www.mcacotedivoire.ci). The Compact program includes two projects: i.

The Abidjan Transport Project (Transport Project) aims to reduce vehicle operating costs and travel times along targeted road segments, while improving overall pedestrian and vehicle mobility and safety. The Abidjan Transport Project comprises two Activities, designed to improve efficiency in the transport of people and goods, increase the integration between transport systems, and improve road safety and pavement surface conditions in Abidjan along the major transport arteries. A fundamental component of this Project is that by Compact-end, the Government�s transport-related agencies will have been trained in and provided the knowledge and experience to maintain, rehabilitate, and improve C�te d�Ivoire�s existing road network utilizing skills and training enabled under the Compact coupled with improved road management and safety databases and planning tools. 2.
