SUMMARY: In accordance with the requirements of the Federal Advisory
Committee Act, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is renewing
the charter for the MCC Economic Advisory Council (EAC) and is hereby
soliciting representative nominations for the 2026-2028 term. The EAC
serves MCC in an advisory capacity only and provides insight to sharpen
MCC's analytical capacity and ensure continued expertise on relevant
issues related to economic development. The EAC provides a platform for
engagement with economic development and evaluation experts and
contributes to MCC's mission to reduce poverty through sustainable and
inclusive economic growth. MCC will use the advice, recommendations,
and guidance from the EAC to inform threshold, compact, and concurrent
regional compact development, implementation, and results measurement
procedures; and assess future policy innovations and methodologies at
MCC. The MCC Acting Vice President of the Department of Policy and
Evaluation affirms that the EAC is necessary and in the public
interest. The EAC is seeking members to comprise a diverse group of
recognized thought leaders and experts representing academic
institutions, think tanks, donor organizations, and development banks.

DATES: Nominations for EAC members must be received on or before 5 p.m.
EST on November 26, 2026. Further information about the nomination
process is included below. MCC plans to host the first meeting of the
2026-2028 term of the MCC Advisory Council in early 2027. The EAC will
meet at least two times a year in Washington, DC or via video/
teleconferencing. Members who are unable to attend in-person meetings
may have the option to dial-in via video/teleconferencing.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The EAC shall consist of approximately 25
individuals who are recognized experts in their field, academics,
innovators, and thought leaders, representing academic organizations,
independent think tanks, international development agencies,
multilateral and regional development financial institutions, and
foundations. Efforts will be made to include expertise from countries
and regions where MCC operates, within the resource constraints of MCC
to support logistic costs. Qualified individuals may self-nominate or
be nominated by any individual or organization. To be considered for
the EAC, nominators should submit the following information:
<bullet> Name, title, organization, and relevant contact
information (including phone, mailing address, and email address) of
the individual under consideration;
<bullet> A letter containing a brief biography for the nominee and
description of why the nominee should be considered for membership;
<bullet> CV including professional and academic credentials.
Please do not send company, or organization brochures or any other
information. Materials submitted should total two pages or less,
excluding CV. Should more information be needed, MCC staff will contact
the nominee, obtain information from the nominee's past affiliations,
or obtain information from publicly available sources.
All members of the EAC will be independent of the agency,
representing the views and interests of their respective institution or
area of expertise, and not as Special Government employees. All Members
shall serve without compensation. The duties of the EAC are solely
advisory and any determinations to be made or actions to be taken on
the basis of EAC advice shall be made or taken by appropriate officers
of MCC.
Nominees selected for appointment to the EAC will be notified by
return email and receive a letter of appointment. A selection team will
review the nomination packages and make recommendations regarding
membership to the MCC Vice President (or Acting Vice President) of the
Department of Policy and Evaluation based on criteria including: (1)
professional experience, and knowledge; (2) academic field and
expertise; (3) experience within regions in which MCC works; (4)
contribution of diverse regional or technical professional
perspectives, and (5) availability and willingness to serve. Based upon
the selection team's recommendations, the MCC Vice President (or the
Acting Vice President) of the Department of Policy and Evaluation will
select representatives.
In the selection of members for the EAC, MCC will seek to ensure a
balanced representation and consider a cross-section of those directly
affected, interested, and qualified, as appropriate to the nature and
functions of the EAC.
Nominations are open to all individuals without regard to race,
color, religion, sex, gender, national origin, age, mental or physical
disability, marital status, sexual orientation, or location.
