MCC Not Applicable

On September 13, 2023, MCC's Board of Directors suspended all MCC assistance to Niger, based on the finding that the military's actions against the democratically elected government constitute a pattern of actions inconsistent with the criteria used to determine the eligibility of Niger for assistance, under Section 611(a)(2) of the Millennium Challenge Act of 2003, as amended, and pursuant to MCC's Policy on Suspension and Termination...Niger - Infrastructure Project - Non-allocated Funds activity: Due Diligence funding is used to obtain sufficient information to evaluate, assess and appraise projects during program development, effectively oversee and monitor program implementation, conduct quality assurance, and then evaluate the results of the project once complete.

In this particular project, due diligence funds were used to hire external technical assistance to support MCC's assessment and oversight of the MCA's infrastructure project to ensure country-led designs and subsequent implementation were consistent with MCC guidance.
