The United States of America, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation ("MCC") and the Government of Côte 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 Côte d`Ivoire (the "Compact") in the amount of approximately US$ 524.7 million ("MCC Funding"). The Government, acting through MCA-Côte d'Ivoire (the "MCA Entity"), intends to apply a portion of the MCC Funding to eligible payments under a contract for which this Request for Proposals ("RFP") is issued. Any payments made by the MCA-Côte 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 CNPC website (www.mcacotedivoire.ci). The Compact program includes two (2) projects: i. The Skills for Employability and Productivity Project (Skills Project) which aims to increase the number of years of education received and improve the acquisition of quality, in-demand basic skills, including reading, math, and soft skills, for lower secondary students; and (ii) to improve the acquisition of quality, in-demand technical skills and increase job placement rates among graduates of Compact-supported technical and vocational education and training ("TVET") centers ; ii. The Abidjan Transport Project (ATP) which aims to reduce vehicle operating costs and travel times along targeted road segments, while improving overall pedestrian and vehicle mobility and safety. The Transport Project will include infrastructure and institutional strengthening investments designed to improve traffic fluidity and decongest a central corridor of the city linking the Port of Abidjan to points north, west and east.

The UIM-TA will develop the urban infrastructure management system for Abidjan, which will integrate the pavement design practices developed under the A&E work, in addition to developing other pavement design approaches. The overall objective of the urban infrastructure management technical assistance is to assist the GoCI in the development of an innovative infrastructure management partnership platform for Abidjan to better manage infrastructure assets in the road right-of-way (ROW). The technical assistance is designed to strengthen the institutional knowledge, know-how, and management of Abidjan's transport infrastructure, building-off of the Infrastructure Graduate Program by providing opportunities to apply the learning, skills, and knowledge gained in a practical setting. In order to perform services under this contract, the Consultant will also have to work in close consultation with other Consultants hired by the MCA-Côte d'Ivoire ATP as well as certain GoCI ministries and agencies referred to as the Implementing Entities ("IEs") that will collaborate with MCA-Côte d'Ivoire in furtherance of the Compact program.
