MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE 

CORPORATION 

[MCC FR 12–01] 

Notice of Entering Into a Compact With 

the Republic of Cape Verde 

AGENCY: Millennium Challenge 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: In accordance with Section 

610(b)(2) of the Millennium Challenge 

Act of 2003 (Pub. L. 108–199, Division 

D), the Millennium Challenge 

Corporation (MCC) is publishing a 

summary and the complete text of the 

Millennium Challenge Compact 

between the United States of America, 

acting through the Millennium 

Challenge Corporation, and the 

Republic of Cape Verde. Representatives 

of the United States Government and 

the Republic of Cape Verde executed the 

Compact documents on February 10, 

2012. 

Dated: February 14, 2012. 

Melvin F. Williams, Jr., 

VP/General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, 

Millennium Challenge Corporation. 

Summary of Millennium Challenge 

Compact with the Republic of Cape 

Verde 

The five-year, $66.2 million compact 

with the Government of Cape Verde (the 

‘‘GoCV’’) is aimed at reducing poverty 

through economic growth (the 

‘‘Compact’’). To this end, the Compact’s 

two projects are intended to increase 

household incomes in project areas by 

reforming the water and sanitation and 

land management sectors, both critical 

constraints to economic growth. 

1. Project Overview and Activity 

Descriptions 

To advance the goal of reducing 

poverty through economic growth, the 

Compact will fund two projects. 

The $41.1 million Water, Sanitation, 

and Hygiene Project is designed to 

establish a financially sound, 

transparent, and accountable 

institutional basis for the delivery of 

water and sanitation services to Cape 

Verdean households and businesses. 

The $17.3 million Land Management for 

Investment Project is designed to reduce 

the time required to establish secure 

property rights and to provide 

conclusive land information in areas of 

near-term high development potential in 

Cape Verde. 

Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) 

Project 

Cape Verde is an extremely waterscarce country, and relies heavily on 

desalinization of water, which is an 

expensive and energy-intensive process. 

The WASH sector is characterized by 

relatively poor levels of service, 

including intermittent water supply. In 

addition, domestic water consumption 

in Cape Verde is, at approximately 35 

liters per day, half that of a low-income 

peer group of countries, and barely 

above subsistence levels; not surprising 

given that Cape Verde has the highest 

water tariff in Africa and among the 

highest in the world. The poor, and 

particularly female-headed households, 

are especially vulnerable as only 9% of 

poor households have access to the 

networked public water supply 

network. Additionally, Cape Verde is 

not on track to meet its Millennium 

Development Goal for sanitation. Low 

levels of water supply, combined with 

a population in which over 50% is 

without any access to improved 

sanitation services, results in significant 

public health problems, including 

diarrhea, malaria and dengue. 

The GoCV has worked closely with 

MCC to develop an ambitious 

performance-based project. Through 

extensive consultation with civil 

society, private sector and government 

stakeholders, as well as MCC technical 

assistance, the Cape Verdean team
