On Monday, December 12th, a delegation from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), headed by Vice President of Operations John Hewko, met with Salvadoran President Elías Antonio Saca.

The delegation is in El Salvador for a three-day visit intended to congratulate the country for its commitment to good governance (which led to El Salvador being made eligible for MCC funding) and to meet with government officials as well as members of the private sector and NGOs to explain the next steps in the process, which include broad-based consultations.

El Salvador was one of only three lower middle income countries declared eligible for MCC funding.  More information in www.mcc.gov <http://www.mcc.gov>
