Millennium Challenge Corporation

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a United States Government corporation designed to work with some of the poorest countries in the world. Established in January 2004, MCC is based on the principle that aid is most effective when it reinforces good governance, economic freedom and investments in people.  MCC’s mission is to reduce global poverty through the promotion of sustainable economic growth.

Before a country can become eligible to receive assistance, MCC looks at their performance on 16 independent and transparent policy indicators.
