View this email in your browser<https://mailchi.mp/mcc.gov/new-partnership-opportunities-866957?e=f777dc2d17> [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/74b42920739b3a23fccfa5123/images/c18bf900-dd0…] New Opportunities to Partner with MCC MCC seeks to partner with organizations that share our goal of achieving poverty reduction through economic growth. MCC’s Partnership Annual Program Statement (APS) is the agency’s primary mechanism to co-create, co-fund, and co-implement partnerships that support MCC’s ability to achieve our mission and programmatic goals. MCC invites organizations to submit concept papers that bring new ideas, technologies, or practices to partner with us in addressing specific challenges or opportunities as outlined in the APS. [https://gallery.mailchimp.com/74b42920739b3a23fccfa5123/images/52a12711-bc6…]<https://mcc.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74b42920739b3a23fccfa5123&id…> In Indonesia, MCC invested in renewable energy and natural resource management to protect the country’s natural capital. MCC’s APS has led to partnerships that enhance MCC’s capabilities in environmental and natural resource economics. Partnership Opportunity 7: Fiscal Analysis Partnership Summary: Fiscal policy is the most powerful tool democratic governments have to reduce poverty through growth. The analytic tools that MCC deploys to advance its mission focus on relaxing the binding constraints on economic growth, promoting efficiency through rigorous cost-benefit analysis, and achieving a required minimum rate of return. MCC seeks to partner with institutions that have specialized capacity and expertise with developing and deploying tools for fiscal analysis in low and lower-middle income countries. Through partnership, MCC aims to analyze the effects of public expenditure and revenue mobilization across income levels so that consideration of inclusiveness and poverty reduction potential can be better integrated into early project development; investigate opportunities to further disaggregate analysis of effects by region, gender, and other population characteristics to better inform decision making in project design and policy choice; incorporate these analyses during the project development process to ensure economic growth driven by investments is pro-poor, inclusive, and promotes gender equity; and expand learning opportunities across the development community regarding incidence analysis and the impact of policy design on development outcomes. Due Date: May 10, 2020 To learn more about this partnership opportunity and how to submit a concept paper or submit questions, please see the Partnerships with MCC Program APS on grants.gov, accessible here: https://www.grants.gov/web/grants/search-grants.html?keywords=95332419N0001<https://mcc.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74b42920739b3a23fccfa5123&id…> Amendment 0004 Conformed Copy in the “Related Documents” section on grants.gov<https://mcc.us11.list-manage.com/track/click?u=74b42920739b3a23fccfa5123&id…> provides the most recent version of the APS, including a description of the APS process and the detailed Fiscal Analysis Partnership opportunity statement.

08 Apr '20

Dear All, Apologies for the delay in announcing the results. Once again congratulations on the amazing presentations! Each presentation reflected the immense amount of effort and collaboration that went into it. We understand that this would have been especially arduous for collaborators in different time zones, so we appreciate your flexibility. Thanks also to our partners, for investing time in providing our faculty the necessary feedback and context needed to think through a relevant, applicable, and scalable solution. It goes without saying that we would have loved to fund all the proposals, as each was unique and valuable to the problem and to the region. The close final scores made the decision difficult, however I hope that we can find ways to continue the work of each proposal beyond this year’s seed grant awards. Hearty congratulations to the following winners. These awards are supported by College of Agriculture, College of Engineering and our external partners. 2020 Seed Grant Awards : 1. GirlEngage Program in Zimbabwe by Jennifer DeBoer in partnership with Plan USA 2. Desalination of water in arid and semi-arid areas in Kenya by David Warsinger in partnership with Moi University and World Concern 3. Sensor technologies for real time monitoring of mosquito populations through heat maps in India by Bryan C. Pijanowski & Kristen Bellisario in partnership with Research and Innovation Circle of Hyderabad (RICH), of the Government of Telangana, India and Marut Drones 4. Affordable water meter at scale in India by Guillermo Paniagua in partnership with WaterAid 2020 Travel Grant Awards: * An Intelligent Early Warning System for Crop Diseases in Rice Cropping System in India by Dharmendra Saraswat in partnership with Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology (OUAT) / National Rice Research Institute (NRRI) / Odisha Department of Agriculture and Farmer’s Welfare (ODAFW) Awardees can expect a follow-up email from me detailing next steps. Thank you again for your participation and contribution.
