1. (U) On October 11, Emboff presented the Millennium
Challenge Corporation's (MCC's) FY 07 Nepal Scorecard to
Ministry of Finance Under Secretary for the Foreign Aid
Coordination Division Madhu K. Marasini. Mr. Marasini was
not familiar with the MCC. Emboff explained the purpose of
the scorecard and recommended that Mr. Marasini further
consider the possibilities offered by the threshold program
given the difficulty Nepal will likely face in gaining
eligibility for a Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) Compact.



2. (U) Mr. Marasini noted the time lag on the indicators.
Emboff agreed that Nepal would have better ratings on several
indicators such as health expenditures and political rights
if more recent measurements existed, and told Mr. Marasini
that the Embassy would share this concern with the MCC. Post
plans to inform Mr. Marasini of the results of the MCC's
Board of Directors meeting on November 8, at which the Board
will select countries eligible to submit proposals for FY 07
MCA Compact and Threshold assistance.
