Introduction to the Millennium Challenge AccountEstablished in 2004, the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) is an innovative foreign assistance program designed to reduce poverty in developing countries through sustainable economic growth. As an independent U.S. Government agency, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) admin-isters the MCA funds that are provided annually by Congress. MCC is managed by a Chief Executive Officer (CEO) with oversight from a Board of Directors. The Board is composed of five public sector members—the Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treasury, U.S. Trade Representative, Administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development, and MCC’s CEO—and four private sector members appointed by the President and confirmed by the U.S. Senate. MCC draws its diverse staff from various U.S. Government agencies, the private sector, universities, international development agencies, and non-governmental organizations.
Every year, the MCC Board of Directors meets to select countries as eligible to develop a proposal for MCA assistance (see box describing MCC’s assistance programs). Recognizing that development is achieved by a country’s own efforts, policies, and people, MCC’s assistance offers selected countries an opportunity to identify their own priorities for achieving sustainable economic growth and poverty reduc-tion. Once selected as eligible, a country conducts an economic analysis and undertakes the process of developing a proposal for funding in broad consultation with its own citizens. MCC teams work in part-nership with eligible countries to refine their compact proposals in order to ensure the programs’ focus on poverty reduction through sustainable economic growth. Proposed compacts also describe how the country plans to manage and implement its MCA program, including how it will ensure financial account-ability, transparency, and fair and open procurement, as well as how it will measure results.
About This Scorebook The 2018 Country Performance Scorebook is the fifteenth publication of country performance data since the establishment of MCC. The Scorebook presents information on country performance on independent and transparent indicators developed by third-parties that measure countries’ demonstrated commitment to just and democratic governance, investments in the people of a country, and economic freedom. These indicators inform the Board of Directors, MCC staff, Congress, and the Administration of candidate coun-tries’ broad policy framework for encouraging poverty reduction through economic growth. We hope this can also be a tool for citizens, civil society organizations, journalists, the private sector, and governments around the world to monitor performance and advocate for continued policy reform.
This year’s Scorebook includes data on 83 countries (75 candidates and 8 countries that meet the income parameters for candidacy but are statutorily prohibited from receiving assistance), including countries that were eligible in previous years for compact or threshold assistance. A country is determined to be a candidate for MCA funding if its per capita income falls within predetermined parameters set by Congress and if it is not subject to certain restrictions on U.S. foreign assistance.
For Fiscal Year 2018 (FY18), MCC is continuing to use the historical ceiling for eligibility as set by the World Bank’s International Development Association (IDA) to divide the 83 countries into two income groups for the purpose of comparative analysis on the policy performance indicators. A Scorecard low income country (LIC) is defined as a country with a per capita income on or below IDA’s historical ceil-ing for eligibility ($1,905 for FY 2018). A Scorecard lower middle income country (LMIC) is defined as a country with a per capita income above the IDA’s historical ceiling for eligibility, but below the World Bank’s lower middle income country threshold ($1,905-$3,955 for FY18)1.
1 All GNI per capita estimates in this Scorebook are from the World Bank’s July 1, 2017 publication entitled “Gross National Income per Capita 2016” and utilize the Atlas method estimates.

In selecting compact and threshold eligible countries, MCC’s Board evaluates: 1) candidate countries’ per-formance on the policy indicators, 2) the opportunity for economic growth and poverty reduction, and 3) the availability of funds. If MCC has worked with a country on a previous threshold program or compact, MCC’s Board also takes into consideration performance on the initial program.
To judge performance on the policy indicators, the Board will consider whether a country performs above the median or absolute threshold on at least half of the indicators, above the median on the Control of Corruption indicator, and above the absolute threshold on either the Civil Liberties or Political Rights in-dicators. Indicators with absolute thresholds in lieu of a median include a) Inflation, on which a country’s inflation rate must be under a fixed ceiling of 15 percent; b) Immunization Rates (LMICs only), on which an LMIC must have immunization coverage above 90%; c) Political Rights, on which countries must score above 17; and d) Civil Liberties, on which countries must score above 25. The Board will also take into consideration whether a country performs substantially worse in any category (Ruling Justly, Investing in People, or Economic Freedom) than they do on the overall scorecard. Countries must meet a minimum standard of passing one indicator in each category. While the indicator methodology is the predominant basis for determining which countries will be eligible for MCA assistance, the Board may also consider supplemental information and take into account factors such as time lags and gaps in the data used to determine indicator scores.
Compact & Threshold Countries
An MCC compact is a five-year agreement between MCC and an eligible country to fund specific pro-
grams targeted at reducing poverty and stimulating economic growth. MCC has signed 34 compacts
worth over $12 billion with Armenia, Benin, Burkina Faso, Cabo Verde, El Salvador, Georgia, Ghana,
Honduras, Indonesia, Jordan, Lesotho, Liberia, Madagascar, Malawi, Mali, Moldova, Mongolia, Morocco,
Mozambique, Namibia, Nepal, Nicaragua, Niger, Philippines, Senegal, Tanzania, Vanuatu, and Zambia.
MCC expects to sign a compact with Côte d’Ivoire in Fall 2017 and is working to develop compacts with
Sri Lanka and Tunisia, as well as subsequent compacts with Burkina Faso, Lesotho, Mongolia, Philippines
and Senegal.
To provide a further incentive for policy reform, Congress also established the threshold program for
countries that demonstrate a significant commitment to meeting the eligibility criteria but may not yet
qualify for MCC compact assistance. Threshold programs assist countries to become compact eligible by
challenging them to implement key policy and institutional reforms. To date, MCC has signed 27 thresh-
old agreements totaling over $600 million with: Albania, Burkina Faso, Guatemala, Guyana, Honduras,
Indonesia, Jordan, Kenya, Kosovo, Kyrgyz Republic, Liberia, Malawi, Moldova, Niger, Paraguay, Peru,
Philippines, Rwanda, Saõ Tomé and Príncipe, Sierra Leone, Tanzania, Timor-Leste, Uganda, Ukraine, and
Zambia. MCC is working to develop threshold programs with Timor-Leste and Togo.

Indicators—What They MeasureThe 2018 Country Performance Scorebook measures performance on the policy criteria mandated in MCC’s authorizing legislation. By using information collected from independent third-party sources, MCC’s country selection process allows for an objective, comparable analysis across candidate countries. Data sources relied upon to produce this Scorebook are determined by the Board of Directors and are subject to change annually. Candidate countries may regularly consult with the indicator institutions regarding their performance to identify opportu-nities for reform and to raise questions about the data.
As a rule, MCC relies on indicators that:
� are developed by an independent third party;
� use an analytically-rigorous methodology and objective, high qual-ity data;
� are publicly available;
� have broad country coverage among MCC candidate countries;
� are comparable across countries;
� have a clear theoretical or empirical link to economic growth and poverty reduction;
� are policy-linked, i.e. measure factors that governments can influ-ence; and
� have broad consistency in results from year to year.
The following indicators are measured by MCC in the three catego-ries of Ruling Justly, Investing in People, and Encouraging Economic Freedom.
Ruling JustlyThese indicators measure just and democratic governance, including a country’s demonstrated commit-ment to promoting political pluralism, equality, and the rule of law; respecting human and civil rights; protecting private property rights; encouraging transparency and accountability of government; and combating corruption.
� Civil Liberties – Independent experts rate countries on: freedom of expression; association and orga-nizational rights; rule of law and human rights; and personal autonomy and economic rights, among other things. Source: Freedom House
� Political Rights – Independent experts rate countries on: the prevalence of free and fair elections of officials with real power; the ability of citizens to form political parties that may compete fairly in elections; freedom from domination by the military, foreign powers, totalitarian parties, religious hierarchies and economic oligarchies; and the political rights of minority groups, among other things.

Countries partnering with
MCC undertake an economic
analysis and engage in a
consultation process with their
citizens and the private sector
to discuss how they can best
use MCC funding to overcome
barriers to poverty reduc-
tion and stimulate economic
growth. Many countries have
identified improvements to
roads, ports, and railroads as
vital to improving access to
markets, schools, and health
clinics for their people. Other
countries have proposed
building industrial parks, trade
schools, and small business
centers, and making improve-
ments to water and sanitation
services. For others, land
tenure and agriculture projects,
micro-lending credit programs,
and improvements to irrigation
systems are identified as priori-
ties to reduce rural poverty.

Source: International Finance Corporation
* Special Note: new methodology to be used from FY 2019 forward– The Gender in the Economy indicator will be updated starting in FY 2019 by including additional questions from the indicator institution. This will produce an expanded index that not only measures the extent to which laws provide women equal capacity to participate in the economy, but also measures legal equality in getting a job, owning property, going to court, and being protected from violence. While this new version of the indicator will be used formally beginning in FY 2019, an annex appears at the end of this scorebook to show how countries will perform under this new approach.
