The Board can give assistance to a candidate country trying to become eligible for the main program, if it meets basic requirements but hasn't yet hit the eligibility bar, often due to missing data. No more than 10 percent of the program's yearly funds may go to this, and a country that isn't even a candidate can't get any.

(a) Authorization: The Board, through the Chief Executive Officer, may give assistance to a candidate country described in (b), to help it become an eligible country. (b) Candidate country described: A country qualifies here if it (1) meets the requirements in section 7705(a), and (2) shows real commitment to meeting section 7706(b)'s requirements but hasn't met them yet, including because its data is missing or unreliable. (c) Administration: This assistance can be delivered through USAID. (d) Funding: (1) No more than 10 percent of the money available for this chapter in a fiscal year may go to this section. (2) None of the money for this chapter may go to a country that doesn't qualify as a candidate country under section 7705 for that fiscal year.
