The Benin-Niger Regional Transport Compact will increase regional trade, attract investment, and contribute to the region’s efforts to reduce poverty through economic growth.

MCC’s $391 million second compact with Benin focuses on electricity reliability and access through new infrastructure, policy reforms, institutional strengthening, and support for private investment in the power sector.

MCC helped increase access to markets, land, justice, and financial services, including a major modernization of the Port of Cotonou that contributed to reducing port costs, shortening wait times and boosting traffic at the regional commercial hub.
