Nominations

SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory 
Committee Act, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (``MCC'') has 
renewed the charter for the MCC Economic Advisory Council (``EAC'') and 
is hereby soliciting representative nominations for the 2024-2026 term. 
The EAC serves MCC in an advisory capacity only and provides insight to 
sharpen MCC's analytical capacity and ensure continued expertise on 
relevant issues related to economic development. The EAC provides a 
platform for engagement with economic development and evaluation 
experts and contributes to MCC's mission to reduce poverty through 
sustainable and inclusive economic growth. MCC will use the advice, 
recommendations, and guidance from the EAC to inform threshold program, 
compact, and concurrent regional compact development, implementation, 
and results measurement procedures; and assess future policy 
innovations and methodologies at MCC. The MCC Vice President of the 
Department of Policy and Evaluation affirms that the EAC is necessary 
and in the public interest. The EAC is seeking members to comprise a 
diverse group of recognized thought leaders and experts representing 
academic institutions, think tanks, donor organizations, and 
development banks. Additional information about MCC and its portfolio 
can be found at www.mcc.gov.

DATES: Nominations for EAC members must be received on or before 5:00 
p.m. EDT on November 25, 2024. Further information about the nomination 
process is included below. MCC plans to host the first meeting of the 
2024-2026 term of the EAC in early 2025. The EAC will meet at least two 
times a year in Washington, DC, or via video/teleconferencing. Members 
who are unable to attend in-person meetings may have the option to 
participate via video/teleconferencing.

institutions, and foundations. Efforts will be made to include 
expertise from countries and regions where MCC operates, within the 
resource constraints of MCC to support logistic costs. Qualified 
individuals may self-nominate or be nominated by any individual or 
organization. To be considered for the EAC, nominators should submit 
the following information:
    <bullet> Name, title, organization (if applicable), and relevant 
contact information (including phone, mailing address, and email 
address) of the individual being nominated;
    <bullet> A letter containing a brief biography for the nominee and 
description of why the nominee should be considered for membership; and
    <bullet> CV including professional and academic credentials.
    Please do not send company or organization brochures or any other 
information. Materials submitted should not exceed two pages, excluding 
CV. If MCC needs more information, MCC staff will contact the nominee, 
obtain information from the nominee's past affiliations, or obtain 
information from publicly available sources.
    All members of the EAC will be independent of MCC, representing the 
views and interests of their respective institution or area of 
expertise and not serving as special government employees. All members 
will serve without compensation. The duties of the EAC are solely 
advisory and any determinations to be made or actions to be taken on 
the basis of EAC advice will be made or taken by appropriate officers 
of MCC.
    A selection team will review the nomination packages and make 
recommendations regarding membership to the MCC Vice President of the 
Department of Policy and Evaluation (or the person acting in such 
capacity) based on criteria including: (1) professional experience and 
knowledge; (2) academic field and expertise; (3) experience within 
regions in which MCC works; (4) contribution of diverse regional or 
technical professional perspectives; and (5) availability and 
willingness to serve. Based upon the selection team's recommendations, 
the MCC Vice President of the Department of Policy and Evaluation (or 
the person acting in such capacity) will select representatives.
    In the selection of members for the EAC, MCC will seek to ensure a 
balanced representation and consider a cross-section of those directly 
affected, interested, and qualified, as appropriate to the nature and 
functions of the EAC. Nominees selected for appointment to the EAC will 
be notified by email and receive a letter of appointment.
    Nominations are open to all individuals without regard to race, 
color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, age, mental or physical 
disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or location.
