progress is very limited or; competency improvements are being
planned but mostly not yet implemented/funded; and, where there
is considerable developmental work still required for
implementation of capacity improvements. In most cases a Level 2
country will not yet meet Millennium Challenge (MCC) criteria.
•
Level 3 (41-60%) Capacity improvements are verifiable, being
implemented and democratic reforms are in the early stages of
implementation. This may be a transforming country where the
momentum of reform is adequate -- more likely is a sustaining
partnership country. Capacity building is well along in the
implementation stage and some encouraging, real and documented
progress is evident. Improvements are being achieved; and
progress can be verified with program trend data as well as
anecdotal records, and evidence of improvement is easily
demonstrated.
•
Level 4 (61-80%) Capacity building is unmistakable to the
observer team and the program element is functioning with results
at a highly satisfactory level of accomplishment. The component is
demonstrating and achieving the intended purpose in nearly all
important areas; there has been significant, obvious and verifiable
progress in implementing the components of the program. At the
lower end this could be a sustaining partnership country but more
likely is a reforming country where the measurement indicators
being evaluated strongly indicate programs accomplishing
milestones and meeting objectives. Evidence of sustainable
progress is well documented and some measurement management
feedback/analysis is evident.
•
Level 5 (81-100%) Compelling and convincing evidence
demonstrates that this program element has attained an enviable
level of achievement. A country performing constantly at the Level
5 will have its programs firmly established, and best-practices will
be th
