Regional Advocacy on Regressive Policies Fostering Inequality This project aims to address the pressing issue of regressive policies by International Financial Institutions (IFIs) like The World Bank and International Monetary Fund (IMF), which contribute to socioeconomic disparities on a regional level in Africa, fueling inequalities. As a build up to the project 'Enhancing National Accountability in Resource Allocations: Towards a People-Centred COVID-19 Recovery', whose research found that IFI policies imposed onto African Governments caused governments to allocate more funds from the COVID-19 Recovery Pack to corporates compared to social sectors benefiting the marginalised groups. Implications of such actions reach far and wide in terms of widening the inequality gap between the poor and rich. Having acknowledged that policies and practices of IFIs significantly influence the national, regional and global economic landscape, it is imperative in this project to tackle this negative influence from IFI policies and practices. 
The project will therefore spearhead a comprehensive regional advocacy initiative to address and rectify the adverse impact of regressive IFI policies on socioeconomic inequality within Africa, evaluate the existing policies of major IFIs to identify instances where regressive measures contribute to regional socioeconomic disparities and collaborate with a network of stakeholders, including government officials, civil society organisations and private sector representatives to tackle policies and practices fuelling inequality in Africa.

Honduras-Compact In June 2005, the Millennium Challenge Corporation signed a five-year, $215 million Compact with Honduras aimed to reduce poverty by alleviating two key impediments to economic growth: low agricultural productivity and high transportation costs. Strategic investments in rural development and transportation will increase the productivity and business skills of farmers and their employees who operate small- and medium-sized farms, and will reduce transportation costs between targeted production centers and national, regional, and global markets. The MCC Compact in Honduras entered into force (EIF) in September 2005, formally initiating the 5-year timeline for project implementation. The transportation project in this Compact has been restructured due to escalating global construction costs and an expansion of the construction works required. In September 2009, MCC's Board decided to partially terminate MCC's Compact, ceasing to fund the vehicle weight control activity and the portion of the farm to market roads activity corresponding to the construction and improvement of approximately 93 kilometers of rural roads. The termination is a result of actions by the government of Honduras that are inconsistent with MCC's eligibility criteria. In addition, MCC's Board determined that a hold would be placed on approx. $4 million of MCC funding related to Section 1 of the CA-5 Highway until further notice.  For the most up-to-date information on implementation progress, please read the Quarterly Implementation Status Report.
