Partnering for Progress

Partnering for Progress

Since its creation in 2004, MCC has transformed lives and created opportunities in its partner countries by focusing on one mission: reducing poverty through economic growth. By taking a country-led, results-driven approach to foreign assistance, MCC empowers the poor and catalyzes private investment for public good, creating a more secure world with more opportunities for economic growth at home and abroad.

  1. Introduction and Board of Directors

    As the progress captured in this report shows, MCC — with guidance from a Board of Directors composed of members of the U.S. Government and the private sector — is transforming lives and creating opportunity for millions of people worldwide.

  2. Driving Progress

    MCC’s commitment to country ownership is clear in the work we do together with our partner countries. MCC empowers the poor by investing in countries through our compacts and threshold programs, and they take the lead in program development and implementation.

  3. Leveraging Partnerships

    Through effective partnerships with partner country governments, public donors, the private sector, and other U.S. Government agencies, MCC furthers its impact and the sustainability of its investments.

  4. New Efforts to Advance Global Development

    MCC’s poverty reduction work continues to advance effective and innovative development practices and partnerships.
