Summary of the Cote d’Ivoire Compact
ˆ
Overview of MCC Cote d’Ivoire Compact
MCC has signed a five-year,
$524,740,000 compact with the
ˆ
Government of Cote d’Ivoire that is
aimed at reducing poverty and
accelerating economic growth. The
compact seeks to address two binding
ˆ
constraints to economic growth in Cote
d’Ivoire: (i) Low levels of basic,
technical, and vocational skills; and (ii)
barriers to moving goods and people,
especially in Abidjan. The compact will
address these constraints through two
projects designed to support the
diversification of the Ivoirian economy
in its drive for emergence: (i) the Skills
for Employability and Productivity
Project (‘‘Skills Project’’); and (ii) the
Abidjan Transport Project.
Background and Context
After passing only five MCC policy
ˆ
indicators in fiscal year 2012, Cote
d’Ivoire began a systematic effort to
improve its policy performance in order
to qualify for MCC funding. As a result
ˆ
of those efforts, Cote d’Ivoire has
consistently passed the MCC scorecard
since FY 2015, and in FY 2017 the
country passed 14 indicators. In FY
2015, MCC’s Board of Directors selected
ˆ
Cote d’Ivoire for a threshold program
and in FY 2016, based on continued
policy improvement, for development of
a compact proposal. The compact is
ˆ
seen in Cote d’Ivoire as the fruit of a
long journey of sustained engagement
with MCC and is poised to become a
central pillar of the country’s
relationship with the United States.
ˆ
Cote d’Ivoire is located in the coastal
zone of West Africa and has a
population of 22.7 million people, 41.5
percent of whom are under the age of
14, and a gross national income per
capita of $1,420. With five major ethnic
groups, a sizeable immigrant population
making up a quarter of the population,
and more than 60 local languages
