The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is committed to advancing diversity, equity, inclusion and accessibility (DEIA) within the workplace and our programs.
A culture of inclusion and belonging begins with a mindset that translates into positive behaviors and outcomes. We envision this culture for MCC and will put words into action.MCC's DEIA Strategy will cultivate and sustain a global, inclusive culture where our differences are leveraged to produce innovative solutions to meet the needs of our employees, global partners, and the international development community.MCC CEO Alice Albright
