Grant Description

The Millennium Challenge Corporation's (MCC) Board of Directors in its quarterly meeting on September 13,2023 discussed recent developments in Niger.

On August 24, MCC announced a pause on all preparatory work?on the Niger Regional Transport Compact due to the military's actions against the democratically elected government.

These actions and recent events in Niger are contrary to MCC's statutorily mandated eligibility criteria and the agency's commitment to democratic governance and upholding the rule of law.

All MCC partner countries are expected to demonstrate an ongoing commitment to these principles to remain eligible for MCC investments.

Acknowledging the continued state of affairs in Niger, the Board approved the suspension of all MCC assistance to Niger...Niger Regional Compact - Regional Infrastructure Rehabilitation Project (Corridor Infrastructure Project) - Road Rehabilitation Activity: the Activity seeks to rehabilitate approximately 210 kilometers of road across both countries focusing on 83 kilometers of road between Bohicon and Dassa in Benin and approximately 127 kilometers of road between Niamey and Dosso in Niger.
