Niger Threshold - IMAGINE

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. At the time of the suspension, $12 million of the planned $18.1 million budget for the IMAGINE (Improve the Education of Girls in Niger) Project had been expended. The IMAGINE Project aimed to construct girl-friendly schools and implement complementary educational activities to improve education outcomes of primary school aged children.
