MCC’s Partnership Annual Program Statement (APS) is the agency’s primary mechanism by which we co-create, co-fund, and co-implement partnerships that support MCC’s ability to design programs, utilize new approaches for due diligence, and monitor and evaluate programs. Partnerships through the APS result in Cooperative Agreements with cost-sharing and/or leverage by partners, which may be individual organizations or a combination of organizations teaming together.
MCC does not currently have APS funding opportunities available. Learn more about previous APS opportunity statements, applicants and awardees.

MCC and Bridges to Prosperity (B2P) are partnering to increase rural communities’ access to infrastructure and education through the construction of last-mile trail bridges. The MCC-B2P partnership will complement compact investments in rural communities in the San Pedro and Gbêkê regions of Côte d’Ivoire, where many MCC-supported secondary schools are difficult to access by students, especially during the rainy season.
MCC is partnering with NASA (satellite technology), RTI International (drone technology), and Mathematica (independent evaluator) to use high-resolution drone imagery to identify crops, whose locations are then used to train satellite models. Together with crop yield data, this enables models to predict and test accuracy of crop identification and agricultural yield in other locations. NASA will then work to develop approaches and tools to use satellite data to continuously monitor and evaluate the impacts of irrigation infrastructure and land restoration investments on pastureland quality, crop density, and yield. Ultimately, these innovative approaches and tools will be added to Mathematica’s data collection and analysis toolkit for delivering detailed results and learning about MCC’s Irrigation and Market Access Project in Niger.
