Abstract
SummaryThe Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) was established in 2004 to channel billions of US foreign assistance dollars to various infrastructure projects within a select group of low income countries that could presumably help themselves, when ruling justly, investing in people, and encouraging economic freedom were considered primary contributors to self-sustaining economic growth. Through multi-method analysis, this study reveals that, with its choice of assessment categories and accompanying indicators, the MCC undermines its governing principles in aid-candidate qualification.
