On December 9th, the Board of Directors of the Millennium Challenge
Corporation (MCC) will meet to select the countries that will be
eligible to apply for funds from the FY2010 pool of resources. This
deliberation marks the seventh round of the MCC eligibility selection
process, and many interesting factors come into play this year. In
addition to examining individual country performance on the
indicators, the MCA Monitor explores current issues affecting the
MCC's selection process including income graduation, budget
uncertainty, second compacts, and successful compact implementation in
a new paper entitled "Round Seven of the MCA." This event features a
discussion with Sheila Herrling, Director of CGD's Rethinking U.S.
Foreign Assistance Program, about the MCA Monitor's selection
forecast and what principles should guide the MCC Board and new
management team as they choose eligible countries for FY2010.

Haitian girls and young women living in Port-au-Prince are
particularly vulnerable to HIV infection, with a much higher HIV
prevalence than the general population. Since the early 1980s, the
Haitian Study Group on Kaposi's Sarcoma and Opportunistic Infections
(GHESKIO) has provided care for HIV/AIDS, other sexually transmitted
infections (STIs), diarrhea, and tuberculosis (TB) through its
community- and clinic-based services. In her presentation,

Dr. Marie Marcelle Deschamps, Secretary General of GHESKIO, will
discuss the successes and limitations of GHESKIO's work to curb HIV
infection among adolescent girls--with a specific emphasis on the
challenges of working with a population with high levels of poverty
and violence. CGD Vice President for Programs and Operations, and
Senior Fellow, Ruth Levine, will chair.
