ARLINGTON, November 13 – The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) has awarded Nathan Associates the five-year Gender and Social Inclusion (GSI) Blanket Purchase Agreement (BPA). This BPA will support MCC’s GSI practice group through a number of call orders to provide gender and social inclusion due diligence support and oversight throughout MCC’s program development and implementation processes across the partner countries where MCC works. This work may include conducting country and sector analyses, designing programs, providing oversight and monitoring of program implementation, and supporting learning and development for GSI in a range of sectors.

This builds on Nathan’s existing GSI work with MCC in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Kosovo, Nepal, Senegal, and Tunisia. Nathan welcomes the opportunity to help MCC integrate gender and social inclusion issues in its Compact and Threshold countries and maximize sustainable poverty reduction.

“This represents a significant step forward in Nathan’s leadership in advancing gender equity and women’s economic empowerment globally,” said Nathan’s CEO, Sue Chodakewitz. “We are excited to deepen our existing partnership with the MCC to promote gender-equitable and inclusive development.”
