The IPAs follow the entry into force of the Compact on 16 September 2009 and provide the legal and operational framework for the joint implementation of the Compact by MCA Namibia and its implementing partners.  The IPAs also detail the resources MCA Namibia will make available to strengthen the partner’s implementing capacities in the form of additional staff, training support and some dedicated working capital.

MCA Namibia Compact Ratified

The National Assembly on 18 November 2008 ratified the MCA Namibia Compact.  This marks the start of the Compact Implementation Funding (CIF) period of 9-12 months during which final design studies, feasibility studies, environmental impact studies, baseline studies for monitoring & evaluation, will be undertaken.  Once the preparatory work is done and the CIF period completed, the Compact will "enter into force" (EIF) which means that the clock will start ticking for the 5 year programme implementation or the EIF period.  Download Media Statement by the MCA Namibia CEO below.

MCA Namibia Compact Tabled for Ratification in National Assembly
Minister Helmut Angula of Works and Transport, the former Director-General of the Planning Commission and in that capacity a driving force behind the MCA Namibia Compact development, on 9 October 2008 tabled the MCA Namibia Compact in the National Assembly for ratification.

The main rationale for ratification - as opposed to signing the MCA Namibia Compact as a bilateral agreement between the US Government (as the development partner) and the Namibian Government (as the beneficiary country) - is the application of a different set of procurement rules to the MCA Namibia Compact.  The Tender Board Act of the Government of Namibia will not apply to the MCA Namibia Compact.  The MCC Act does not allow for the preferential treatment of contractors in the beneficiary country, in this case Namibia.  In exchange, no preferences will be extended to American contractors.  

The Tender Board Act is the only Namibian legislation for which exemption is sought by the motion to ratify the Compact.  All other Namibian legislation, including the tax legislation, applies to the MCA Namibia Compact. 

The motion will be discussed in the National Assembly as from 23 October 2008.
