MCC and AFD sign a Memorandum of Understanding
November 18, 2008
Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) Chief Executive Officer Ambassador John Danilovich and French Development Agency (AFD) Director General Jean-Michel Severino signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) that seeks to increase international development coordination between the two agencies and to make their poverty reduction efforts more effective in Africa and throughout the developing world. Focusing initially on Africa, the MoU identifies practical areas for potential cooperation in countries where both MCC and AFD are engaged, such as in Burkina Faso, Benin, Morocco, Mali, Madagascar, and Senegal. The MoU provides a solid framework to deepen field cooperation between MCC and AFD in a number of areas such as microfinance, land tenure and agriculture.
