El Salvador
In November of 2006, the Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a five-year, $461 million Compact with the Government of El Salvador to improve the lives of Salvadorans through strategic investments in education, public services, agricultural production, rural business development, and transportation infrastructure. The largest of the Compact’s components, the transportation project, intends to physically unify El Salvador’s Northern Zone with the rest of the country, and to enable new economic opportunities for rural households, lower transportation costs, and decrease travel times to markets. The MCC Compact in El Salvador entered into force (EIF) in September 2007, initiating the 5-year timeline for project implementation.
