ABOUT / HISTORY

Millennium Partners Consulting or “Millennium Partners” dates back to 2003 with the founding of Millennium International Consulting.  Responding to the Millennium Development Goals, Millennium Partners’ mission is to provide broad-ranging project and technical assistance in the effort to meet the world’s urgent development challenges.

Millennium Partners is a woman owned small business certified by the US Small Business Administration.  It is a Delaware registered Limited Liability Company.  The Principal Owners of the company are Millennium International Consulting and Dr. Esther W. Hannon and Brian C. Hannon.  Millennium Partners is based in Charlottesville, Virginia and benefits from a close association to the University of Virginia and the diverse and intellectually rich local community.

Millennium Partners and its founder Millennium International have undertaken projects in every region of the world under economic growth and democracy and governance programs.  Since 2005, Millennium Partners has been awarded almost $30 million in programs funded by the Millennium Challenge Corporation and the US Agency for International Development.

Millennium Partners has demonstrated that it is not just a small business that does small projects.  The recently completed Moldova Threshold Country Program was a $14.6 million multi-sector anti-corruption program that focused on the judiciary, health and tax administration.  The project involved managing over 100 staff members and substantial procurements of information technology equipment, an elaborate case-management system, a streamlined tax system and broad reforms in the health sector.  For this USAID has given Millennium Partners an outstanding rating.

Millennium Partners is a small business that is fleet of foot because it can make decisions fast, deploy immediately and achieve results in record time. It is a philosophy of action that does not forsake attention to detail for speed but recognizes that the process we are engaged in is crucial in a world of increasing instability and hardship.   Reform takes efficacy and diligence because the window for reform is often short and the need for results and assistance critical. From experience we have learned that results speak for themselves and are the key intangible ingredient that ensures momentum for continued reform.
