Data Analytics Center Project in Côte d’Ivoire, DCLI
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is pleased to launch this Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for an innovative, market-driven, sustainable and results-based project, herein called “Data Analytics Center Project in Côte d’Ivoire.” This project is one of two proposed
