Danilovich visits for Millennium Challenge

[NewsWhore]

Ambassador John Danilovich, chief executive officer for the Millennium Challenge Corporation, has urged President Leonel Fernandez to work more aggressively towards improving education and health policies, and to combat corruption, in order to access available funding. The Millennium Challenge Corporation is currently working with 11 countries to try to help reduce poverty through sustainable development. The funds are provided through the US Congress and uses 16 indicators to determine potential beneficiaries. The DR is already taking part, and Danilovich said that he was excited about the reforms the country is carrying out. The MCC has donated between US$150 million and US$400 million in Latin America alone.
