In Jan. 2004, Congress established the Millennium Challenge Corp. (MCC) for foreign assistance. Eligible countries submit compact proposals for MCC funding for projects aimed at reducing poverty through economic growth. MCC performs economic analyses estimating the compacts¿ economic rate of return (ERR) and effects on income and poverty as well as the number of compact beneficiaries. MCC uses these analyses to inform its decisions to fund proposed compacts and to inform Congress and the public about its progress in achieving its mission. This report examines MCC¿s projections of: (1) ERR; and (2) compacts¿ impact on income and poverty as well as numbers of beneficiaries. Includes recommendations. Illus.
