Related Sectors

Agriculture

MCC investments in the agricultural economy aim to create jobs, raise incomes, boost nutrition, and reduce poverty by financing vital infrastructure, increasing market access, and providing technical assistance to strengthen businesses from farm to consumer.

Education

Poverty reduction and economic growth are possible when countries invest in educating their people. MCC works with partner countries to ensure that students obtain the knowledge and skills that can help them get better jobs and improve their livelihoods.

Energy

MCC energy sector investments help create self-sustaining electricity systems for businesses and households, and attract private investment.

Health

MCC recognizes that a healthy population—including reduced illness and increased life expectancy—is critical for achieving sustained economic growth and poverty reduction.

Land and Property Rights

Land and Property Rights investments are designed to contribute to poverty reduction and economic growth by establishing secure and efficient access to land and by strengthening property rights.

Roads and Transportation Infrastructure

Safe, reliable, and cost-effective roads improve access to public services like healthcare and schools, lower the time and cost of bringing goods to market, and facilitate regional and international trade – all of which help drive growth and fight poverty.
