The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) joined PPIAF’s Donor Council in August 2009, and together PPIAF and the MCC have been building solid foundations for long-term partnerships between the public and private sectors. Together with the World Bank, Japan, and other European countries, MCC has identified the key role the private sector can play to support governments in developing countries as they seek to modernize, rehabilitate, and build new infrastructure, which is required to provide basic services such as clean water, electricity, roads, ports, airports, and better telecommunications to underserved populations. The private sector not only brings capital and mobilizes resources for investments in infrastructure, but it also brings cutting edge technologies, management best practices, professionalism and leadership, and tools to achieve efficiencies.
