What is the Millennium Challenge Corporation? Name and define the two types of grants it administers and three areas in which they support projects.
What will be an ideal response?
Students should first be able to define the Millennium Challenge Corporation as the U.S.-based organization that provides economic assistance to countries based on their ability to meet political, economic, and social performance standards. Students should then be able to name the two types of grants they administer, including compact grants, which are larger grants given to countries that clearly meet the eligibility requirements, and threshold grants, which are smaller and are awarded to those countries nearing the eligibility requirements. Students should finally be able to identify three areas in which they support projects, which may include agriculture and irrigation, transportation, water supply and sanitation, access to health, finance and enterprise development, anticorruption initiatives, land rights and access, or access to education.
