Overview
One of the ways MCC is changing the conversation about foreign assistance is an M&E approach that starts with tracking performance on processes and outputs at the beginning of a Compact’s life and then continues to track high-level outcomes and impacts at the end to concretely assess how its activities have affected poverty and economic growth. See the economic rate of return analyses that were used to estimate these aggregate estimated impacts, and details on the impact evaluations that will measure the achievement of these results.

Progress Towards Results Across Compacts To Date
There is already significant progress towards long-term impacts. Above are the latest results in four key sectors – Agriculture, Property Rights and Land Policy, Irrigation, and Roads – demonstrating milestones achieved and people reached. More detailed information on these and other higher-level outcomes to track progress towards changes in income are collected at the country level. Aggregated indicators in additional sectors, such as education and water and sanitation, will be added in the coming months. In all of these sectors, MCC plans to track not only outputs, but also outcomes and impacts across Compacts. Those higher-level results materialize as compacts mature and will be published as soon as they are available.
