Millennium Challenge Account Releases New Environmental Guidelines
Posted by Sheila Herrling at 04:09 PM
The MCC released today its revised environmental guidelines.
"The purpose of these guidelines is to establish a process for the review of environmental and social impacts"
I'm no expert on the subject, but the guidelines seem heavy on environmental impact and lean on social impact. That said, kudos to the MCC staff on what appears to be a strong consultative process based on a written draft to reach the final product. I would love to hear how the guidelines are received from those closer to the topic. Do they reflect best practice and lessons learned? Are they appropriate for the new innovative aid agency?
