Publish Country Selection Criteria and Methodology
The country selection criteria and methodology are the rules and measures by which the Board of Directors determines a country's eligibility.
In determining country eligibility, the Board considers:
- A country’s performance on the indicators;
- The opportunity to reduce poverty and generate economic growth within a country.
- Availability of funds.
The MCC CEO submits to Congress a report that describes these criteria and the methodology. By law, this report must be submitted to the appropriate Congressional committees and published in the Federal Register not later than 60 days before the MCC Board selects Compact eligible countries.
Accept Public Comment
The MCC solicits and considers public comment regarding the country selection criteria and methodology for a period of 30 days.
