In FY 2023, those scorecard evaluation income categories 1 are: • Countries whose gross national income (GNI) per capita is $2,045 or less; and • Countries whose GNI per capita is between $2,046 and $4,255. Appendix B lists all candidate countries and statutorily-prohibited countries for scorecard evaluation purposes. 1 These income groups correspond to the definitions of low income countries and lower middle countries using the historical International Development Association (IDA) threshold published by the World Bank. MCC has used these categories to evaluate country performance since FY 2004. Our amended statute no longer uses those definitions for funding purposes, but we continue to use them for evaluation purposes. PO 00000 Frm 00096 Fmt 4703 Sfmt 4703 (II) How does the Board evaluate these countries? A. Overall Evaluation The Board looks at three legislativelymandated factors when it evaluates any candidate country for compact eligibility: (1) policy performance; (2) the opportunity to reduce poverty and generate economic growth; and (3) the availability of MCC funds. (1) Policy Performance Appendix C describes all 20 indicators, their definitions, what is required to ‘‘pass,’’ their source, and their relationship to the legislative criteria. Because of the importance of evaluating a country’s policy performance in a comparable, crosscountry way, the Board relies to the maximum extent possible upon the bestavailable objective and quantifiable policy performance indicators. These indicators act as proxies for a country’s commitment to just and democratic governance, economic freedom, and investing in its people, per MCC’s founding legislation. Comprised of 20 third-party indicators in the categories of ruling justly, encouraging economic freedom, and investing in people, MCC scorecards are created for all candidate countries and statutorily-prohibited countries. To ‘‘pass’’ most indicators on its scorecard, a country’s score on each indicator must be above the median score in its income group (as defined above for scorecard evaluation purposes). For the inflation, political rights, civil liberties, and immunization rates 2 indicators, however, minimum or maximum scores for ‘‘passing’’ have been established. In particular, the Board considers whether a country • passed at least 10 of the 20 indicators, with at least one pass in each of the three categories, • passed either the Political Rights or Civil Liberties indicator; and • passed the Control of Corruption indicator. While satisfaction of all three aspects means a country is termed to have ‘‘passed’’ the scorecard, the Board also considers whether the country performs ‘‘substantially worse’’ in any one policy category than it does on the scorecard overall. The mandatory passing of either the Political Rights or Civil Liberties indicators is called the Democratic 2 A minimum score required to pass has been established for the immunization rates indicator only when the median score is above a 90 percent immunization rate. Countries must score above 90 percent or the median for their scorecard income pool, whichever is lower, in order to pass the indicator. E:\FR\FM\04OCN1.SGM 04OCN1
