Congressional Budget Justification, FY2015

  1. Executive Summary

    The President’s FY2015 request is $1 billion and based on the opportunity to advance US global development priorities in a limited number of countries demonstrating a commitment to good governance.

  2. Compact Assistance

    The increase in funding will support compact investments in countries to unlock key constraints to economic growth, incentivize policy and institutional reforms necessary for private investment, and improve the well-being of some of the world’s poorest people.

  3. Threshold Program

    The Threshold Program has been designed to challenge countries to implement key policy and institutional reforms. In FY 2015, MCC plans to use $30.0m to support the planned Nepal Program and programs in up to two new countries.

  4. Compact Development and Oversight: 609(g) and Due Diligence

    A detailed focus on pre-compact planning, oversight and post-compact evaluation is critical to success and to ensuring that MCC, our partner countries and the development community can take advantage of the learning opportunities inherent in MCC programs.

  5. Administrative Expenses

    The flat administrative expenses budget proposed reflects MCC’s focus on gaining efficiencies while at the same time making necessary, prudent investments that increase overall productivity and organizational effectiveness.

  6. Office of the Inspector General

    The USAID Office of Inspector General will continue to conduct financial and performance audits and reviews of MCC and Millennium Challenge Account entity activities, as well as oversee and review the annual external audit of MCC.

  7. Opportunity, Growth and Security Initiative

    In addition to the base request of $1 billion, the President is proposing $350 million for MCC as part of the $56 billion Opportunity Growth and Security Initiative because of MCC’s strong commitment to evidence, evaluation and impact-based budgeting.
