The CEQ Institute Entered Into A Fiscal Analysis Partnership With The Millennium Challenge Corporation

On September 30 of 2020, the Commitment to Equity (CEQ) Institute entered into a Fiscal Analysis Partnership with the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) – an independent US foreign assistance agency.
The two-and-a-half year $449,956.39 award will:

  • Integrate CEQ-developed fiscal incidence analysis methods and tools with the MCC's growth diagnostic toolkit. This will enable distributional analyses of the welfare impacts of MCC Compact-designed program investments early in the MCC Compact design and negotiation processes.
  • Develop practical applications for incidence, distributional analysis, and for quantifying the current impact on inequality and poverty of public investments in infrastructure, including infrastructure investments carried out by subnational government levels such as municipalities, districts, or provinces.
  • Develop fiscal incidence analysis and toolkits for use by MCC and partner country governments and transfer capacity for the application and utilization of these tools in real world settings, via trainings, workshops, and other dissemination.
