Côte d’Ivoire Minister of Economy and Finance Adama Koné and Acting MCC CEO Jonathan Nash sign a $525 million compact on Nov. 7, 2017 at the U.S. State Department in Washington, D.C.
Following its Sept. 27 Board of Directors meeting, MCC hosted a town hall to discuss the newly approved Côte d'Ivoire Compact, the Fiscal Year 2018 Selection Criteria and Methodology Report, and the proposed Togo Threshold Program.
Maïté Hostetter, Senior Policy Officer, Department of Policy and Evaluation, discusses why MCC prioritizes democracy and good governance in its evaluation of potential partner countries.
In December 2015, MCC’s Board of Directors selected Côte d'Ivoire to begin developing a five-year compact. Jason Small, Managing Director for Africa, highlights how Côte d'Ivoire has made great progress on its MCC scorecard of key governance indicators.
MCC's Board of Directors held its quarterly meeting on Dec. 16, 2015—approving three countries as eligible for compacts and two countries as eligible for threshold programs.
