This brief lays out that the US Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) approved two new natural resources indicators for use in the selection of eligible countries in 2006. The authors suggest that the MCC enhances the full set of eligibility indicators by placing the Natural Resources Management Index in the Investing in People basket, placing the Land Rights and Access indicator in the Economic Freedom basket and making some adjustments within both baskets. The authors claim that the result would be a stronger and deeper set of indicators that would receive widespread support.
