By Breaking Belize News Staff: Prime Minister John Briceño says implementation of Belize’s Millennium Challenge Corporation Compact with the United States is moving ahead, bringing major investments in education and energy.
Briceño described the programme as being worth approximately $250 million and thanked the Opposition and social partners for supporting the initiative.
The United States originally committed US$125 million through the Millennium Challenge Corporation, with Belize providing additional counterpart financing. The five-year compact focuses on improving education and workforce skills while reducing electricity costs and modernizing the energy sector.
The agreement was modified in 2026 after a review of U.S. foreign assistance, with US$20 million shifted from the Education Project to the Energy Project.
