Millennium Challenge Account

<p>In a speech on March 14 2002 President Bush outlined a proposal for a major new U.S. foreign aid initiative. The program referred to as the Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) is managed by the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and provides assistance through a competitive selection process to developing nations that are pursing political and economic reforms in three areas: ruling justly investing in people and fostering economic freedom. If fully implemented the initiative would represent one of the largest increases in foreign aid spending in half a century outpaced only by the Marshall Plan following World War II and the Latin America-focused Alliance for Progress in the early 1960s.</p><p>This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
