‘MCC’s Work in Africa’
I am very pleased to have the opportunity to present to you today the U.S. Government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation’s commitment to Africa’s development, growth and prosperity. Many thanks to Congressman Donald Payne for organizing this important event and for inviting me to attend. I had the great honor of joining Congressman Payne in Monrovia this past July to witness the signing of MCC’s $15 million threshold program with Liberia—a program that is investing in key elements of Liberia’s development, including land rights and access, girls’ primary education and trade policy.
I appreciate this opportunity to share a few thoughts about MCC’s work in Africa, including the critical role MCC plays in building Africa’s infrastructure
