MILLENNIUM CHALLENGE

[MCC FR 08–11] 

Report on Countries That Are 

Candidates for Millennium Challenge 

Account Eligibility in Fiscal Year 2009 

and Countries That Would Be 

Candidates but for Legal Prohibitions 

AGENCY: Millennium Challenge 

Corporation. 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: Section 608(d) of the 

Millennium Challenge Act of 2003 

requires the Millennium Challenge 

Corporation to publish a report that 

identifies countries that are ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ for Millennium Challenge 

Account assistance during FY 2009. The 

report is set forth in full below. 

Dated: September 5, 2008. 

William G. Anderson, Jr. 

Vice President and General Counsel, 

Millennium Challenge Corporation. 

Report on Countries That Are 

Candidates for Millennium Challenge 

Account Eligibility for Fiscal Year 2009 

and Countries That Would Be 

Candidates but for Legal Prohibitions 

This report to Congress is provided in 

accordance with Section 608(a) of the 

Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, 

22 U.S.C. 7701, 7707(a) (Act). 

The Act authorizes the provision of 

Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) 

assistance to countries that enter into 

Compacts with the United States to 

support policies and programs that 

advance the progress of such countries 

achieving lasting economic growth and 

poverty reduction. The Act requires 

Millennium Challenge Corporation 

(MCC) to take a number of steps in 

determining the countries that will be 

eligible for MCA assistance for Fiscal 

Year (FY) 2009 based on a country’s 

demonstrated commitment to (i) just 

and democratic governance, (ii) 

economic freedom and investing in their 

people, and (iii) the opportunity to 

reduce poverty and generate economic 

growth in the country. These steps 

include the submission of reports to the 

congressional committees specified in 

the Act and the publication of notices in 

the Federal Register that identify: 

1. The countries that are ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ for MCA assistance for FY 

2009 based on their per-capita income 

levels and their eligibility to receive 

assistance under U.S. law and countries 

that would be candidate countries but 

for specified legal prohibitions on 

assistance (Section 608(a) of the Act); 

2. The criteria and methodology that 

the MCC Board of Directors (Board) will 

use to measure and evaluate the relative 

policy performance of the ‘‘candidate 

countries’’ consistent with the 

requirements of subsections (a) and (b) 

of Section 607 of the Act in order to 

select ‘‘MCA eligible countries’’ from 

among the ‘‘candidate countries’’

(Section 608(b) of the Act); and 

3. The list of countries determined by 

the Board to be ‘‘MCA eligible 

countries’’ for FY 2009, with a 

justification for such eligibility
