Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is an independent U. S. Government foreign aid agency that operates on the principle that aid is most effective when it reinforces good governance, economic freedom, and investments in people.

As an innovative and independent foreign assistance agency, MCC is at the forefront of the fight against global poverty. With a focus on good policies, country ownership, and results, MCC provides time-limited grants that promote economic growth, reduce poverty, and strengthen institutions. These investments not only support stability and prosperity in partner countries but also enhance American interests.

What sets MCC apart is its commitment to competitive selection, country-led solutions, country-led implementation, and a focus on producing results. MCC grants come in the form of Compacts (large, five-year grants for selected countries), Concurrent Compacts for Regional Investments (promoting cross-border economic integration), and Threshold Programs (smaller grants for policy and institutional reform). MCC's projects address pressing challenges such as electricity access, clean drinking water, transportation infrastructure, education, health, and more.

Guided by its founding principles, MCC's investments have successfully improved the lives of millions of people worldwide. With a priority on climate change and inclusion & gender, MCC is dedicated to creating a more sustainable and inclusive world
