Remarks by President Biden at the U.S.-Africa Business Forum
In fact, the MCC just announced dec- — decis- — excuse me — just announced discussions for partnerships with four African countries, our first com- — four compacts: Gambia, Togo to boost economic development; and a compact with Senegal to bolster regional connections; and a threshold program with Mauritania to help strengthen democratic governance and pursue policy reform to unlock economic growth. (Applause)
quote:Not sure what the MOU entails, but MCC’s current programme in The Gambia is a capacity building focused threshold program to support the energy sector, with NAWEC at the heart of it. It has two components; governance and operations. One of the main tasks to be investigated is the separation of the water business from the electricity business. Bids are due mid January.
