Assessing Opportunities for Agribusiness Investment in Ghana and Morocco

The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. independent foreign aid agency established in February 2004 to provide financial assistance to developing countries. The Agribusiness Development Initiative is a pilot program launched in late 2009 to better sustain the impact of the MCC’s investments in partner countries to fight poverty and promote economic growth by linking with the private sector. Investment promotion and facilitation efforts will target private businesses complementary to value-chains associated with MCC’s compacts. The Agribusiness Development Initiative launched its first pilot activities in Ghana and Morocco.  The objective of this workshop was to support MCC's newly created Agribusiness Development Initiative by assessing opportunities for private investment in specific agricultural sectors in Ghana and Morocco.
