MCC’s $23.1 million Niger Threshold Program signed in March 2008, was suspended in December 2009 due to a pattern of actions by the Government that were inconsistent with MCC’s eligibility criteria. The total Program budget was reduced to $16.9 million. Following the country’s return to democratic rule, MCC made $2 million available from the original Program budget in July 2012 to complete and expand the girls’ education component of the Program.
