Partnerships with MCC Program
MCC is issuing this APS in order to develop partnerships with organizations that share compact and threshold program and MCC institutional goals and align with the needs of MCC’s current portfolio.
MCC partnerships take many forms and benefit both MCC and our partner organizations by increasing our respective access to cutting-edge research,knowledge, data, technologies, networks and expertise, as well as co-funding.Partnerships can help open new markets, scale programs, drive innovation, and transform the lives of people around the world.
Successful partnerships are expected to involve collaboration between MCC and partner staff and support MCC’s ability to achieve its mission and programmatic goals.
Partnerships must concentrate on priority development activities which fall within MCC’s mission of poverty reduction through economic growth and align with its core principles of results, good policies, and accountability.
MCC funds activities in the public sector where the government role is clear and preeminent, but through partnership hopes to draw more broadly on non-governmental partners to stimulate additional investment and innovative development practices.
