regarding a country’s performance on 

MCC programs, as relevant. The Board 

also considered a country’s commitment 

to further sector reform, as well as 

evidence of improved scorecard policy 

performance. 

Countries Newly Selected for Compact 

Assistance 

Using the criteria described above, 

one candidate country under section 

606(a) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 7705(a) was 

newly selected as eligible for assistance 

under section 607 of the Act (22 U.S.C. 

7706): Liberia. Liberia is invited by MCC 

to develop a compact. 

Liberia: A prior compact partner, 

Liberia passes the scorecard for the third 

consecutive year in FY 2025. One of the 

world’s poorest countries, Liberia is a 

politically stable democracy that has 

seen two decades of peace since the 

second civil war ended in 2003. General 

elections held in late 2023 were free, 

fair, competitive, and peaceful, and the 

new government has committed to 

prioritize reforms to boost the economy, 

advance national reconciliation efforts, 

and strengthen the fight against 

corruption. MCC’s Board selected 

Liberia as eligible to develop a 

subsequent compact in recognition of 

the progress the country has made to 

strengthen its scorecard performance 

and pursue economic and democratic 

governance reforms. The selection 

provides MCC the opportunity to 

develop a program that could 

significantly impact the lives of the 

Liberian people through a committed 

and engaged former MCC partner. 

Countries Selected To Continue 

Compact Development 

Three of the countries selected as 

eligible for compact assistance for FY 

2025 were previously selected for FY 

2024. Cabo Verde (regional), Senegal 

(regional), and The Gambia were 

selected to continue developing 

compacts. Selection of these countries 

for FY 2025 was based on an assessment 

of their policy performance since their 

prior selection and their progress in 

developing programs with MCC. The 

Board deferred a vote on the selection 

of Togo to continue developing a 

compact to provide the Government of 

Togo additional time to strengthen the 

protection of democratic rights and 

fundamental freedoms as it implements 

its new constitution and transitions to a 

new system of government next year. In 

making its decision to defer a vote, the 

Board discussed the importance of the 

Government of Togo taking meaningful 

action to address MCC’s concerns 

regarding the country’s constitutional 

change process and restrictions on 

fundamental freedoms. The Board may 

revisit its decision over the course of 

2025 as more information becomes 

available. 

Country Selected To Receive Threshold 

Program Assistance 

The Board did not newly select any 

countries to receive threshold program 

assistance for FY 2025. 

Countries Selected To Continue 

Developing Threshold Programs 

The Board selected Philippines and 

Tanzania to continue developing 

threshold programs. 

Selection of Philippines for FY 2025 

was based on its commitment to 

strengthening its policy performance, 

protections for human rights and 

fundamental freedoms, and anticorruption efforts since its prior 

selection and its progress developing its 

threshold program. 

Selection of Tanzania for FY 2025 

recognized the progress that has been 

made in developing a threshold 

program. However, in making the 

selection the Board expressed concern 

that the November 27 local elections 

were a missed opportunity to open 

political space and advance democratic 

reforms. The Board also noted with 

concern reports of disappearances, 

political violence, and restrictions on 

peaceful assembly and press freedoms 

and urges the Government of Tanzania 

to protect democratic freedoms as the 

country prepares for national elections 

in 2025. 

Ongoing Review of Partner Countries’ 

Policy Performance 

The Board emphasized the need for 

all partner countries to maintain or 

improve their policy performance. If it 

is determined during program 

implementation that a country has 

demonstrated a significant policy 

reversal, MCC can hold it accountable 

by applying MCC’s Suspension and 

Termination Policy.4
