Malawi - Competition and Fair Trading Commission Technical Assistance

Millenium Challenge Account Malawi has received financing from the Millennium Challenge Corporation toward the cost of the Accelerated Growth Corridors (AGC) Project and intends to apply part of the proceeds toward payments under the contract for Selection of an Individual Consultant for Competition and Fair Trading Commission Technical Assistance. MCC’s funding is appropriated by the U.S. Congress and obligated to the compact up-front, with no incremental or partial funding.
