Check out the MCA Monitor Blog. It's a bit wonky, but the first port of call for information about the innovative Millennium Challenge Account. One recent post:
I'm still willing to hold out on the promise captured in the rhetoric and the mission concept of the MCA as an innovative foreign aid mechansims. But I do worry that the window of opportunity to show the reality behind the rhetoric is closing. I am working on a piece now evaluating how the MCA was supposed to be different -- more innovative and effective -- than other aid mechanisms against the current reality. I would love to hear others' thoughts on signs of success and signs of concern. There's a lot riding on the MCA's success.
Another:
I'd love to hear more from folks closer to the details on Armenia. This raised all sorts of theoretical questions, including use of foreign aid as an incentive vs. a reward, and whether the MCC can be different from other aid agencies in the ability to say no.
They're in listening mode over there. Anyone care to help?
