Millennium Challenge Corporation careers
2 verified openings
Congress built the Millennium Challenge Corporation in January 2004 around a rule most aid agencies do not use: a country has to qualify before it gets money. MCC's board scores candidates on 20 independent policy indicators, and selected countries then write their own proposals and stand up a local entity to run implementation. About $17 billion in signed compact and threshold programs has followed, aimed at agriculture and irrigation, energy, land rights, transportation infrastructure, and water supply and sanitation across 47 countries.
The sector list is where the environmental side sits: agriculture and irrigation, land rights and access to land, water supply and sanitation, and energy generation, distribution, and transmission. Compacts carry environmental and social performance requirements, and that is its own program discipline inside the agency.
