The Board of Directors of the MCA (Millennium Challenge Account) Honduras is the body responsible for providing timely compliance and overseeing the implementation of additional agreements that may arise through the implementation of the Millennium Challenge Account Program, as well as ensuring its proper and correct application, including the projects and activities of the Convention. The primary objectives of the program are: To increase the productivity and business skills of small and medium farmers and reduce transportation costs between production centers and national, regional and international markets. The Council is comprised of five members, three representing the government and two representing the civil society. In addition, nine observers from the government sector and the civil society (one of them acting on behalf of the Millennium Challenge Corporation), and an agency of the Government of the United States of America were present. Honduras was not able to qualify for the continuity of the MCA, since in 2015 it failed to fulfill the requirements for corruption control demanded by the MCA.
