Millenium Challenges

Here's a blog-style website from the US State Department, with minutes from a meeting yesterday between Colin Powell and the
Millennium Challenge Corporation Board of Directors.

Chief Executive Officer Paul
Applegarth, talking about the MCCs operations:

I'll give you a couple of examples of the impact that we had. A senior official in Armenia stated that Armenia's inclusion in the program had made the country much more focused on matters of governing, governance, democracy, the rule of law and human rights. Another official said that because of the consultative process officials better understood the urgency of problems in rural areas and that their proposals had been affected by these consultations. That's exactly what we're aiming for through the consultative process.

Huh?
