Please use a lot. Collins (2002) reported that only 12 states were participating in 1999, totaling 5,200 MCCs participated.

Let's think about Cote d'Ivoire. For MCC scorecard three years ago, only 15 indicators out of 20 indicators, including corruption control, have failed. The government has been offering to us through the MCC scorecard with the aim of cooperating to improve performance in specific policy areas. Cote d'Ivoire has now passed 13 indicators and has recently been approved for MCC financing. Foreign direct investment increased 40% at almost the same time from 2012 to 2014. By motivating these data-driven reforms, MCC will help open up new perspectives for private investment. Indeed, the company has told us to comply with MCC and its scorecard, as presence in developing countries helps to reduce risk while creating direct procurement opportunities. In 2010, Parker Electric, an energy supplier in North Carolina Province, submitted a bid and won the MCC contract for $ 17.9 million as part of a compact contract in Tanzania.

State ownership is the backbone of the MCC model. Once a country acquires a contract, that country establishes its own Millennium Challenge account. This is a local entity that manages and oversees all aspects of the implementation. Cooperating with MCC, each country can learn effective project implementation and accountability and transparency best practices. MCC's approach supports self-sufficiency and builds ongoing local expertise and know-how even after investment in MCC is over. Approximately 50 experts in the country's public and private sector MCA - Malawi have signed a $ 351 million contract to combat Malawi's poverty. With the help of MCC colleagues in Washington, MCA Malawi has worked with the government and local partners to revitalize the power sector of the country and connect people to trusted electricity.
