Introduction to the Millennium Challenge AccountEstablished in 2004, the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) is an innovative foreign assistance pro-gram designed to reduce poverty in developing countries through sustainable economic growth. As an independent U.S. Government agency, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) administers the MCA funds that are provided annually by Congress. MCC is managed by a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with oversight from a Board of Directors. The Board is composed of five public sector members—the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, U.S. Trade Representative, Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, and MCC’s CEO—and four private sector members appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. MCC draws its diverse staff from various U.S. Government agencies, the private sector, universities, international development agencies, and non-governmental organizations.

Every year, the MCC Board of Directors meets to select countries as eligible to develop a proposal for MCA assistance (see box describing MCC’s assistance programs). Recognizing that development is achieved by a country’s own efforts, policies, and people, MCC’s assistance offers selected countries an opportunity to identify their own priorities for achieving sustainable economic growth and poverty reduc-tion. Once selected as eligible, a country conducts an economic analysis and undertakes the process of developing a proposal for funding in broad consultation with its own citizens. MCC teams work in part-nership with eligible countries to refine their compact proposals in order to ensure the programs’ focus on poverty reduction through sustainable economic growth. Proposed compacts also describe how the country plans to manage and implement its MCA program, including how it will ensure financial account-ability, transparency, and fair and open procurement, as well as how it will measure results.

About This Scorebook The 2019 Country Performance Scorebook is the sixteenth publication of country performance data since the establishment of MCC. The Scorebook presents information on country performance on independent and transparent indicators developed by third-parties that measure countries’ demonstrated commitment to just and democratic governance, investments in the people of a country, and economic freedom. These indicators inform the Board of Directors, MCC staff, Congress, and the Administration of candidate coun-tries’ broad policy framework for encouraging poverty reduction through economic growth. We hope this can also be a tool for citizens, civil society organizations, journalists, the private sector, and governments around the world to monitor performance and advocate for continued policy reform.

This year’s Scorebook includes data on 80 countries (70 candidates and 10 countries that meet the income parameters for candidacy but are statutorily prohibited from receiving assistance), including countries that were eligible in previous years for compact or threshold assistance. A country is determined to be a candidate for MCA funding if its per capita income falls within predetermined parameters set by Congress and if it is not subject to certain restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance.

For Fiscal Year 2019 (FY19), MCC is continuing to use the historical ceiling for eligibility as set by the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) to divide the 80 countries into two income groups for the purpose of comparative analysis on the policy performance indicators. These two income groups include: 1) countries whose GNI per capita is less than or equal to $1,875 in FY19 and 2) those countries whose GNI per capita falls between $1,876 and $3,895 in FY191. 1 All GNI per capita estimates in this Scorebook are from the World Bank’s July 1, 2018 publication entitled “Gross National Income per Capita 2017” and utilize the Atlas method estimates.

In selecting compact and threshold eligible countries, MCC’s Board evaluates: 1) candidate countries’ per-formance on the policy indicators, 2) the opportunity for economic growth and poverty reduction, and 3) the availability of funds. If MCC has worked with a country on a previous threshold program or compact, MCC’s Board also takes into consideration performance on the initial program.

To judge performance on the policy indicators, the Board will consider whether a country performs above the median or absolute threshold on at least half of the indicators, above the median on the Control of Corruption indicator, and above the absolute threshold on either the Civil Liberties or Political Rights indicators. Indicators with absolute thresholds in lieu of a median include a) Inflation, on which a country’s inflation rate must be under a fixed ceiling of 15 percent; b) Immunization Rates (on which a country whose GNI per capita falls between $1,876 and $3,895 must have immunization coverage above 90 percent; c) Political Rights, on which countries must score above 17; and d) Civil Liberties, on which countries must score above 25. The Board will also take into consideration whether a country performs substantially worse in any category (Ruling Justly, Investing in People, or Economic Freedom) than they do on the overall scorecard. Countries must meet a minimum standard of passing one indicator in each cat-egory. While the indicator methodology is the predominant basis for determining which countries will be eligible for MCA assistance, the Board may also consider supplemental information and take into account factors such as time lags and gaps in the data used to determine indicator scores.

Indicators—What They MeasureThe 2019 Country Performance Scorebook measures performance on the policy criteria mandated in MCC’s authorizing legislation. By using information collected from independent third-party sources, MCC’s country selection process allows for an objective, comparable analysis across candidate countries. Data sources relied upon to produce this Scorebook are determined by the Board of Directors and are

Compact & Threshold Countries

An MCC compact is a multi-year agreement between MCC and an eligible country to fund specific pro-

grams tar-geted at reducing poverty and stimulating economic growth. MCC has signed 36 compacts

worth more than $12 billion with Armenia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, Cote D’Ivoire, El Salvador,

Georgia, Ghana, Honduras, In-donesia, Jordan, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Moldova,

Mongolia, Morocco, Mozambique, Namibia, Niger, Nepal, Nicaragua, Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania,

Vanuatu, and Zambia. MCC is working toward developing compacts with Sri Lanka, Timor-Leste, and

Tunisia, as well as second compacts with Burkina Faso, Lesotho, and Senegal.

To provide a further incentive for policy reform, Congress also established the threshold program for

countries that demonstrate a significant commitment to meeting the eligibility criteria but do not qualify

for MCC compact assis-tance. Threshold assistance helps countries improve their policy environment to

help build a strong foundation and to help them qualify for compact assistance. To date, MCC has signed

threshold agreements totaling more than $631 million with the following countries: Albania, Burkina

Faso, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras, Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Malawi,

Moldova, Niger, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Rwanda, Saõ Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, Tanzania,

Timor-Leste, Uganda, Ukraine, and Zambia. MCC is working toward develop-ing threshold programs with

Togo and the Gambia.

subject to change annually. Candidate countries may regularly consult with the indicator institutions regarding their performance to identify opportunities for reform and to raise questions about the data.

As a rule, MCC relies on indicators that:

� are developed by an independent third party;

� use an analytically-rigorous methodology and objective, high qual-ity data;

� are publicly available;

� have broad country coverage among MCC candidate countries;

� are comparable across countries;

� have a clear theoretical or empirical link to economic growth and poverty reduction;

� are policy-linked, i.e. measure factors that governments can influ-ence; and

� have broad consistency in results from year to year.

The following indicators are measured by MCC in the three catego-ries of Ruling Justly, Investing in People, and Encouraging Economic Freedom.

Ruling JustlyThese indicators measure just and democratic governance, including a country’s demonstrated commitment to promoting political plural-ism, equality, and the rule of law; respecting human and civil rights; protecting private property rights; encouraging transparency and accountability of government; and combating corruption.

MCC Investments

Countries partnering with

MCC undertake an economic

analysis and engage in a

consultation process with their

citizens and the private sector

to discuss how they can best

use MCC funding to overcome

barriers to poverty reduc-

tion and stimulate economic

growth. Many countries have

identified improvements to

roads, ports, and railroads as

vital to improving access to

markets, schools, and health

clinics for their people. Other

countries have proposed

building industrial parks, trade

schools, and small business

centers, and making improve-

ments to water and sanitation

services. For others, land

tenure and agriculture projects,

micro-lending credit programs,

and improvements to irrigation

systems are identified as priori-

ties to reduce rural poverty.
