The United States Government has announced its decision to continue the implementation of projects under the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) in Nepal. This decision comes as an exception amid a broader suspension of U.S. foreign aid, allowing the MCC programs to move forward without interruption.
Millennium Challenge Account Nepal (MCA-Nepal) stated that it is actively working with MCC on various compact activities, including the construction of electricity transmission lines and road maintenance, with several procurement processes already completed.
Ongoing works include three substations and an 18-kilometer cross-border transmission line, which began before the recent program review. MCA-Nepal emphasized that these infrastructure projects will have a significant impact on Nepal’s energy and transport sectors, and reaffirmed its commitment to their successful completion.
MCA-Nepal expressed gratitude for the continued partnership with MCC and welcomed the U.S. decision to support the uninterrupted execution of the compact’s initiatives.
