The Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) Namibia Compact, providing grant funding for public investments in Education, Tourism and Agriculture (livestock and indigenous natural products), was signed on 28 July 2008 between the Republic of Namibia and the US Government, acting through the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC). An amount of US$304.5 million will be available for development in the target sectors, over and above current Government allocations and assistance from other development partners. MCA Namibia, which is a project implementation unit working under the auspices of the National Planning Commission, is implementing the Programme (www.mca.gov.na).
