In September 2009, the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) signed a five-year, $540 million compact with the Republic of Senegal aimed at reducing poverty and investing in economic growth by unlocking the country’s agricultural productivity, rehabilitating major national roads, and investing in strategic irrigation and water resources management. The Government of Senegal has identified two national-level strategies – to reduce poverty in Senegal through economic growth and to increase the country’s food security. Both of these priorities will be facilitated through MCC’s $540 million compact with the Republic of Senegal.
