Threshold Program
The two-year $35.6 million Peru Threshold Program, signed June 9, 2008, seeks to increase immunization rates of rural
children against diseases such as measles, diphtheria, pertussis and tetanus in eight targeted regions
and assist Peru’s Ministry of Health in strengthening information and vaccination management systems.
The program will also help Peru combat corruption by working with the judicial branch, law enforcement, the ombudsman and controller’s offices and civil society organizations to improve internal controls, as well as analyze and simplify administrative processes to reduce opportunities for corruption.
Eligibility
Peru was named eligible for MCC Threshold Program assistance on November 8, 2006.
