Appendix: FY 2014 Annual Performance Report and Plan

In accordance with the Government Performance and Results Act of 1993 (GPRA) and the GPRA Modernization Act of 2010, MCC’s FY 2014 Annual Performance Report (APR) is contained in these appendices of the FY 2016 Congressional Budget Justification. MCC’s Agency Financial Report for FY 2014 has been produced separately and can be accessed at http://www.mcc.gov/documents/reports/report-fy2014-afr.pdf. Additionally, pursuant to GPRA, MCC is in the process of developing a new strategic plan and anticipates releasing it during FY 2015.

MCC’s Data-Driven Selection Process

MCC works with countries committed to good policy performance as determined by the MCC Board of Directors consisting of the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, U.S. Trade Representative, USAID Administrator, and MCC’s Chief Executive Officer, as well as four non-governmental members appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate.

MCC is the only donor agency in the world to base selection so heavily and transparently on public, third-party policy performance data. MCC publishes annual scorecards of country performance on its 20 selection indicators that measure and compare commitment to democratic governance, economic freedom, and investment in people. The indicators–all drawn from publicly available datasets widely used across the international development community–are used to identify countries with policy environments that allow MCC funding to be effective. With many countries eager to demonstrate a commitment to policy improvement because of the transparent selection criteria, this approach often inspires policy reform even before spending money and has been called the “MCC effect.”

When choosing country partners, the Board, by law, also takes into consideration the opportunity to reduce poverty and generate economic growth as well as funds available to MCC. When considering if a country should be eligible for a subsequent compact, the board also looks at that country’s record implementing its first compact.

Supplemental Information

MCC’s annual country scorecards play a key role in the selection process, helping identify a country’s commitment to policy reform and good governance relative to its income peers. In addition, the Board considers whether any adjustments should be made for data gaps, data lags or recent events since the indicators were published, as well as strengths or weaknesses in particular indicators. Where appropriate, the board will take into account additional quantitative and qualitative information, such as evidence of a country’s commitment to fighting corruption, investments in human development outcomes, or poverty rates. The types of supplemental data and lists of sources can be found on MCC’s website (http://1.usa.gov/18Qibjn).

Subsequent Compacts

MCC’s founding legislation permits the agency to enter into one or more subsequent compacts after completing a first. This provision recognizes the reality that for poor countries, even the ones with strong policies conducive to economic growth already in place, it takes decades of sustained growth to lift citizens out of poverty. However, MCC’s relationship with countries is not and should not be open-ended. MCC’s board is particularly selective when determining eligibility for subsequent compacts. In those cases where subsequent compacts have been considered, they were determined to play a pivotal role in the ability to reduce poverty, promote economic growth, and provide opportunities to explore more innovative approaches, including ways to leverage additional country resources as well as potential private sector investment.

Selection for subsequent compacts is not automatic; on top of strong scorecard performance, the Board also assesses the first compact. To assess implementation of a prior compact, the Board examines the implementation of the first compact (especially in the areas of achievement of results, committed partnership and adherence to policies); looks for evidence of improved scorecard policy performance; and expects a commitment to further, deep sectoral reform in a subsequent compact.

Evidence and Evaluation after Selection

MCC’s selection process is data driven, as is the process for making investment decisions and evaluating results. MCC shares its data and learning publicly to improve its business and allow others to benefit from its experience.

Investment Decisions

After using data to drive selection, MCC then uses economic analysis to inform investment decisions. Because most poor countries have many development needs, local and international stakeholders often struggle with setting priorities. MCC uses several tools to identify investment opportunities that will be cost-effective and do the most to raise incomes and reduce poverty.

MCC asks partner countries to conduct a constraints analysis to identify the barriers to private investment and economic growth. Based on this analysis, in consultation with civil society and the private sector, countries propose possible projects for overcoming these barriers.
Program logic describes how a proposed investment is expected to reduce poverty through economic growth. It outlines the chain of project activities, showing how household incomes will increase. It informs project design, economic analysis and evaluation questions.
Cost-benefit analysis is used by partner countries and MCC to estimate the expected increase in household incomes of each proposed project. This helps MCC distinguish among projects with significant potential to spur growth and reduce poverty versus those that may be politically popular within a partner country but do not anticipate sufficient returns.
MCC calculates economic rates of return (ERRs) to inform project decisions and measures them again during implementation if projects are modified. The cost-benefit analysis describes how the dollars spent on each activity will lead to higher incomes. It generates an ERR that reflects the fundamental economic viability of each proposed investment—that is, whether the expected results justify the costs.
MCC and partner countries use an initial social and gender analysis (ISGA) as well as beneficiary analysis (BA) to assess how estimated project income gains will affect different income groups.

Monitoring Results

MCC is committed to delivering and measuring results throughout the investment lifecycle. MCC’s results framework measures, collects, and helps MCC learn about: policy reforms associated with compact eligibility; program investments; project inputs and outputs; interim outcomes; and performance and impact as measured through independent evaluations. MCC publishes quarterly reports of monitoring indicators against compact targets.

Leadership in Evaluation Practices

MCC uses independent evaluations for learning and accountability and to test assumptions about what works to reduce poverty. MCC’s independent evaluations build on monitoring to track input, output, and some outcome indicators during compact implementation. It is common in the development community to focus on inputs (such as the funds dedicated to farmer training), outputs (such as the number of farmers trained), and increasingly on some intermediate outcomes (such as the rate of farmer adoption of improved techniques for cultivation). MCC takes evaluation one step further to see if a link can be made between these indicators and an ultimate impact of increased household incomes. This is a difficult task, and evaluations are the primary mechanisms for measuring whether or not that link occurred and why by testing the assumptions underlying the program logic. Results build evidence to inform future investment decisions, both at MCC and in the broader development community.

Distinguishing between impact and performance evaluations.

Performance evaluations estimate the contribution of MCC investments to changes in trends on outcomes, including household income. Performance evaluations are less rigorous and cannot attribute causal impact to MCC investments because they do not utilize a counterfactual. Performance evaluations serve an accountability purpose by comparing changes between situations before and after MCC investments.
Impact evaluations are the most rigorous form of evaluations because they estimate the causal impact of MCC investments on key outcome indicators. They make it possible to know whether the observed impacts were caused specifically by an MCC investment or are the result of external factors. Impact evaluations compare what happened with the investment to what would have happened without it through the use of a counterfactual. About 40 percent of MCC's project portfolio is covered by impact evaluations.

Transparency and Learning

MCC shares its data and learning publicly to improve its business and allow others to benefit equally from its experience. In 2013, the International Aid Transparency Index ranked MCC the most transparent aid agency in the world. More importantly, MCC believes that its commitment to transparency is what holds the agency accountable to its mission and to learn and do better. MCC continues to look for ways to make its evidence, evaluation, and learning more accessible and useful to the agency’s own learning and for the broader development community.

Results of Recently Closed Compacts

Burkina Faso

The $480.9 million Burkina Faso Compact sought to reduce poverty through economic growth by making strategic investments to improve land tenure security and land management, enhance the volume and value of agriculture production, expand access to markets through investments in the road network, and increase primary school completion rates for girls.

Burkina Faso
Policy Reforms	Agriculture Development Project Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM): The project worked with the Government of Burkina Faso (GOBF) to develop IWRM plans and strengthen water management institutions in the Mouhoun and Comoé Basins. These plans, the first of their kind, create a policy environment and institutional framework that allows for participatory feedback from local water users to ensure improved protection and equitable distribution of valuable water resources, proper levying of water use fees, adequate operation and maintenance of public infrastructure, and the realization of the economic potential of approximately 5 million Burkinabè living in the basins. Properly implemented IWRM plans will promote efficient use of land and water resources and increase agricultural production and employment opportunities. Roads Project The Burkina Faso Road Maintenance Fund (FER-B): The institutional arrangements for nationwide road maintenance have been enhanced under the compact. The FER-B adopted private sector accounting practices along with using a competitive selection panel for the director general. The board of FER-B also was restructured in order to have private sector participation and a change in statutes now allows private entities to supervise maintenance works. Additionally, procurement, financial, accounting, standardized bidding documents, and technical manuals were created and adopted. The GOBF has created, adopted and plans to continually update a five-year road maintenance plan and their 15-year master plan. Rural Land Governance Project Rural Land Law, Agrarian and Land Reorganization and Rural Land Services: Policy performance was outstanding. Under the project (including pre-compact support), Burkina Faso’s key laws on rural land were improved to emphasize more secure private rights to land, better land-use planning, and better conflict resolution. Fifty-four legal and regulatory reforms were adopted nationwide and decentralized land management services were implemented in 47 of Burkina Faso’s 302 rural communes. Other donors such as the French Development Agency, the European Union, the World Bank, and the GOBF itself have committed to expanding MCC-funded advancements to the remaining communes countrywide.
Outputs	Roads Project As of the compact end date, 194 kilometers of primary roads were paved and 83.8 kilometers of rural roads were upgraded. An additional 80 kilometers of primary roads and 61.2 kilometers of rural roads were completed by the end of the compact closure period, meeting the compact’s targets for a total of 274 kilometers of primary roads and 145 kilometers of rural roads. The 51 government officials trained in road maintenance management and planning exceeded the target of 40. At compact end, MCC funded the periodic maintenance of 322.5 kilometers of primary and rural roads, worth $29 million. Rural Land Governance Project 54 transformational laws and supporting regulations were developed to improve private rights to land, improve recognition and administration of those rights, and create a system of mediation of land disputes so they could be resolved quickly and cheaply. Land services offices were established in all 47 targeted communes, including building construction, personnel training, and technical assistance. The government approved 2,167 rural land possession certificates (APFRs) out of a targeted 6,000. APFRs provide formal land use rights to individuals and is a new instrument to formalize land tenure created under the legal reforms described above and managed by the newly established land services offices. The government continues to issue APFRs post-compact. Agriculture Development Project The project exceeded the original target of 2033 hectares, providing 2240 hectares, under improved irrigation. The Lery reservoir structure and dam gates were also rehabilitated under the compact. 12,307 farmers were trained in improved production and farm management techniques, exceeding the compact’s target of 9,800 farmers trained. 96 borrowers received medium-term loans totaling $2.8 million. (To allocate resources where they could make the greatest impact, the rural finance facility was discontinued as it was not meeting its targets.) 16 water user associations were established with 207 executive officers trained. BRIGHT 2 Schools Project As targeted, 396 classrooms for grades 4-6, 122 kindergartens, and 264 private latrines were constructed. In addition, 10 boreholes were dug and seven boreholes rehabilitated. The compact provided more than 185,000 sacks of dry rice for home consumption and daily meals for over 15,000 students during the school year. Fourteen community awareness-raising sessions on girls’ education were held, and 80 community meetings were held on girls’ schooling, management and maintenance.
Expected Outcomes	Roads Project Increased commercial investment and economic activities due to reduced travel time and vehicle operating costs. Improved access to markets and health and education services. Reduced travel time and reduced vehicle operating costs. Increased sustainability of road network and protection of investments. Rural Land Governance Project Increased tenure security, including both perceptions of tenure security and decreases in actual conflict. Increase in productive investments (land use shifts) and agricultural productivity by households and firms. Improved access to land, land allocation and utilization. Agriculture Development Project Farmers realize sustainable increases in productivity, yields, and profits and have year-round access to irrigation. Higher net income from agriculture/livestock and related products and sustained increases in livestock productivity. Sustainable water resource management: Equitable allocation of water resources and reduced water use conflicts. Sustainable and effective operation and maintenance of irrigation infrastructure. BRIGHT 2 Schools Project Maintain school enrollment rates for girls. Maintain high attendance rates and primary school completion rates for girls. Anchor importance of girls’ education in communities.
Evaluations	Roads Project A performance evaluation and repeat analysis will be conducted to review traffic counts as well as a roughness assessment, tested by a repeat model evaluation. Final analyses and results are expected at the end of 2017. Rural Land Governance Project An impact evaluation will be conducted for the rural land governance project to assess perceptions of land-tenure security, frequency and types of land conflicts, etc. The evaluation has been divided into two phases. Baseline surveys have been conducted for both phases, along with an interim survey for phase 1. Follow-up surveys for both phases are planned for 2017. Agriculture Development Project For the Integrated Water Resource Management Activities, qualitative performance evaluations will be conducted approximately one year after project completion (Fall 2015) to assess continuity and sustainability of IWRM institutions and market structures. The final report is expected in early 2016. Di lottery evaluation: A randomized control trial is underway to examine the impact of the new irrigated perimeter on recipients’ incomes and farming practices. The final report is expected in early 2018. Farmer training evaluation: An impact evaluation is underway to assess adoption of new practices, crop yields, and agricultural income. The final report is expected by early 2018. Access to Rural Finance Activity: A qualitative performance evaluation will be conducted in 2015. The evaluation will assess activity conception, implementation, and short-term outcomes. The final report is expected in late 2015. BRIGHT 2 Schools Project An impact evaluation is being conducted, focusing on student enrollment and student achievement. The final report is expected by the end of 2015.

Namibia

The $304.5 million Namibia Compact was designed to reduce poverty through economic growth in Namibia. The program focused on improving the quality of education and training for underserved populations, and also attempts to capitalize on Namibia’s comparative advantages, namely large areas of semi-arid communal land suitable for livestock grazing, natural products indigenous to Namibia and diverse wildlife and unique landscapes ideal for ecotourism.

COUNTRY
Policy Reforms	Under the education project, the compact introduced a new preventive maintenance policy and operational guidelines for school infrastructure that clarified the roles and responsibilities in carrying out maintenance activities. Through compact support, Namibia now has a levy system to finance vocational training. The National Training Fund was officially launched in April 2014 as a solid platform to advance access to vocational education in Namibia. By June 2014, a total of 2,100 employers were registered for the levy. The levy is established to support competition in the training market, specifically targeting priority skills. A Continuous Professional Development system was established at the regional level to support assessments and improve coordination of training needs. A policy was established for the Namibia Student Financial Assistance Fund, with accompanying strategy, regulations, procedures, and guidelines to facilitate more equitable distribution of and improved cost-recovery from student loans. The Ministry of Environment and Tourism created a housing policy to support construction of new housing at Etosha National Park, plus an incentive-based staffing plan intended to sustain the benefits from the new infrastructure. Under the Communal Land Support Project, for the first time since the operationalization of the Government of Namibia Communal Land Reform Act in 2003, a total of 19 policy recommendations forwarded to the Ministry of Land and Resettlement were approved. The most significant policy change is new procedures for spousal and joint registration of land rights. This change led to a revision of the land/parcel registration form to include spouses and, in particular, women. In 2010, the Government of Namibia ratified a policy that allows it to more easily trace the sourcing of indigenous natural products and issue permits to produce and sell a sustainable level of devil’s claw. This new devil’s claw policy was revisited and revised three years later through an extensive stakeholder consultative process.
Outputs	Education Project Improving quality of education activity 48 schools built and/or renovated mostly in the poorest region of Namibia. These schools benefited from refurbished furniture, laboratory and IT equipment and notebook computers. The partnership among Microsoft, Adaptrum, My Digital Bridge Foundation, and the Ministry of Education piloted TV white space technology to provide high-speed broadband internet to 27 rural schools and 10 educational circuit offices. 65 educators provided instructional leadership skills 105 administrators trained in facilities maintenance management 159 educators trained in HIV/AIDS awareness Vocational training activity 8 Community Skills Development Centers built or renovated to increase the income-earning capacity of marginalized populations by developing their entrepreneurial and technical skills and fostering their participation in micro and small enterprises Improving access and management of textbooks Over 1.7 million textbooks covering math, English and sciences were procured and distributed nationally.

Preliminary and Expected Outcomes	Education Project 64 vocational training providers accredited or registered 1,500 individuals trained in high-priority skills through the vocational training grant fund. Additional expected outcomes under the Education Project, which will be monitored post-compact, include: Improved pass rates on grade 10 and grade 12 math, science and English exams 80 percent compliance rate for national training levy 75 percent of supported vocational training graduates secure employment 53 percent increase in income for vocational training grant fund trainees 240,000 visitors to Regional Study and Resource Centers in first year 33,980 book loans in first year from Regional Study and Resource Centers, including 1,980 from mobile units Tourism Project More than N$136,000,000 of new private sector investments secured by conservancies assisted by MCA-Namibia 15 joint venture agreements between conservancies and private lodge operators established to build lodges and camps 224 new job opportunities created in conservancies through joint venture agreements and other endeavors Over 26,000 North American tourists arrived in Namibia during the 2012-2013 season, compared with 24,000 the previous year and 23,000 at baseline. Agriculture Project Five operational state veterinary offices N$3.8 million paid to producers from indigenous natural products sales in 2014 compared to N$1.2 million at baseline
Evaluations	Education Project Three vocational training sub-activities are being evaluated through a combination of impact and performance evaluations. The evaluations focus on changes to the vocational training sector, as well as income and employment-related outcomes of trainees attending vocational training institutions supported by the compact. Baseline results are expected in 2015; final results are expected in 2016. The Regional Study and Resource Center Activity is subject to a performance evaluation that is focused on the implementation and initial operations of these centers, how the centers are being used and the outcomes associated with that use. Reports will be produced periodically beginning in 2015. A performance evaluation planned for Improving the Quality of General Education and Textbook activities will explore changes in the quality and efficiency of the procurement and distribution of textbooks. Results are expected in 2016-17. Tourism Project Performance evaluations of the Improved Management of Etosha National Park (ENP) and Tourism Marketing Activities will focus on changes in ENP management following the compact and tourism outcomes. Reports are expected in 2016. Agriculture Project An impact evaluation of the Community-Based Rangeland and Livestock Management Sub-Activity is focused on livestock, natural resource, and household wellbeing outcomes. Initial results are expected in 2015. A performance evaluation of the Communal Land Support Sub-Activity focuses on changes in knowledge and awareness of land rights and procedures as well as perceptions of tenure security. Initial results are expected in 2015.

Compact Modifications

MCC employs a risk-based approach to the management of its foreign assistance portfolio and uses a number of mechanisms for managing projects that face potential major modifications, including:

Quarterly portfolio reviews of all compacts, with a focus on high-risk projects and activities;
Early identification of high-risk projects;
Close collaboration with partner countries to develop plans to prevent, mitigate, and manage project restructuring; and
Approval of modifications at the appropriate level.

MCC has also refined its compact development process to ensure that adequate due diligence is conducted on programs in advance of compact signing to increase the reliability of technical, cost and other estimates. During compact development, MCC also makes project design modifications to mitigate potential completion risk, currency fluctuations, and the potential for construction cost overruns.

There are no programmatic changes/compact modifications to report for FY 2014.

Estimating Compact Beneficiaries and Benefits

Under MCC's results framework, beneficiaries are defined as an individual and all members of that household who will experience an income gain as a result of MCC interventions. MCC considers that the entire household will benefit from the income gain and counts are multiplied by the average household size in the area or country. The beneficiary standard makes a distinction between individuals participating in a project and individuals expected to increase income as a result of the project. Before signing a compact, MCC estimates expected long-term income gains through a rigorous benefit-cost analysis and may modify estimates and/or the present value (PV) of benefits when project designs change during implementation.

Sector Results—Agriculture, Education, Land, Roads, Water

Agriculture and Irrigation Common Indicators

A focus on results is one of the core principles on which the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) was founded. Within country-specific plans, MCC uses common indicators to aggregate results across countries within certain sectors. MCAs are not required to report on certain common indicators where collecting that data is too costly or infeasible given existing data collection plans.
