Voice of America quoted director of policy outreach Sarah Jane Staats on the Millennium Challenge Corporation.
From the article:
"Sarah Jane Staats from the Center for Global Development points out the $1.28-billion request for the 2011 Millennium Challenge Corporation budget is the lowest it has ever been.
"I think a few eyebrows have been raised that this year was the lowest budget request since the start of the MCC in 2004, so while there continues to be strong support from the administration, the State Department, USAID, all the members of the MCC board, and several members of Congress, it is a tough budget environment, so it brings up some challenges for the MCC going forward," she said."
