On January 31, 2022 MCC paused activity related to the Burkina Faso Compact II following the military's actions against the elected government on January 23, 2022. These actions contradict MCC's commitment to democratic governance and upholding the rule of law�principles that underpin MCC's rigorous selection criteria. MCC again called on all parties to pursue a democratic solution while ensuring the safety and security of all Burkinabes. On March 31, 2022 the MCC Board of Directors voted to suspend MCC's assistance to Burkina Faso and its eligibility for a concurrent regional compact as a result of the country's coup d'�tat. These events run counter to MCC's commitment to democratic governance and upholding rule of law. All MCC partner countries are expected to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to these principles to remain eligible for MCC investments. On September 28, 2022, the MCC Board voted to terminate MCC's assistance to Burkina Faso and the country's eligibility for a regional compact. This decision was made in response to the January 2022 coup d'�tat, which is inconsistent with MCC's statutorily mandated eligibility criteria, and the July 2022 announcement by the transition authorities of a prolonged period before elections. In making this difficult decision, MCC's Board noted its strong interest in partnering with the Burkinabe people once a democratically-elected government takes office.
