Officials from the United States government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC)meet with a range of stakeholders

Officials from the United States government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) are pleased to be in Sierra Leone this week to meet with a range of stakeholders, including government officials, donors, civil society, and media.  MCC and the Government of Sierra Leone are partnering to design a potential compact that would directly address the lack of affordable and reliable electricity among households, businesses, and social institutions nationwide – a major constraint to economic growth.  The high-level visit builds on the strong foundation of partnership between the people of Sierra Leone and MCC– a partnership that has spanned multiple administrations in both the U.S. and Sierra Leone.
