MCA-Nepal invites job applications for 10 posts

KATHMANDU: The Millennium Challenge Account Nepal Development board (MCA-Nepal) has invited applications for 10 posts as the parliament has endorsed the agreement — half-billion-dollar aid grant from the United States — between the Government of Nepal and Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). The vacant posts include Project Manager, Manager, Lead Engineer, Power Sector Reform Specialist, Assistant Engineer, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, Outreach Communication Assistant, Assistant to DED-Management, Office Driver and Office Assistant. The MCA-Nepal is a Government of Nepal agency, formed under the Development Board Act 2013 BS (1956 AD) in order to manage a $630 million infrastructure programme. The programme is co-funded by the US government's Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Compact grant of USD 500 million and the Nepali government's contribution of $130 million. The programme aims to increase the availability and reliability of electricity, maintain road quality and facilitate power trade between Nepal and the region to help spur investments and accelerate economic growth. The Electricity Transmission Project, a national pride project, and the Road Maintenance Project are two projects under the programme. An application has to be submitted on the website of MCA-Nepal.
