In the ongoing fight against global poverty, the U.S. government's Millennium Challenge Corporation stands steadfast in its goal to reduce poverty through sustainable economic growth. MCC delivers “smart aid” to developing nations who take responsibility for their development needs through country ownership, are held accountable for the assistance they receive and are dedicated to achieving results that will help lift their people out of poverty.

As an important tool of U.S. government foreign aid assistance, MCC serves as a key instrument of “smart aid” by changing the expectations about assistance, builds capacity within partner countries, and paves the way for increased private sector engagement.

The Millennium Challenge Corporation remains committed to as­sisting countries in their efforts to achieve the Millennium Development Goals and improve the lives of their people.
