The Benin-Niger Regional Transport Compact will increase regional trade, attract investment, and contribute to the region’s efforts to reduce poverty through economic growth.
MCC’s $442.6 million compact with the Government of Niger is increasing rural incomes by improving the sustainable use of natural resources for agricultural production and improving trade and market access for agricultural products.
The program sought to improve Niger’s scorecard performance for compact eligibility by reducing administrative corruption and barriers to increased trade and investment.
On September 13, 2023, MCC’s Board of Directors voted to suspend MCC’s partnership with Niger.
