The Millennium Challenge Account-Liberia has announced the end, effective January 21, 2021, of the Millennium Challenge Compact between the United States Government and the Government of Liberia.
The Compact, during its operation, improved the amount and reliability of electricity supply, more than doubled the number of homes with electricity access and left the Liberian government with a sustainable, data-driven, road maintenance system.
With the signing of the Compact in October 2015, the United States Government, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), provided US$257 million to help increase access to more reliable and affordable electricity; and improve the planning and execution of routine, periodic, and emergency road maintenance.
