Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC), an undertaking of the US government may go for a strategic collaboration with Bechtel Infrastructure Corporation (a Bechtel company) and the Government of Côte d’Ivoire, to focus on the latter’s national infrastructure master planning.
An MOU to this effect was signed by MCC CEO Sean Cairncross, Bechtel’s Regional President of Africa, Sir James Dutton, and Secretary General to the President of Côte d’Ivoire Minister Patrick Achi in Abidjan, for entering into a partnership among these three entities.
It is expected that MCC, Bechtel, and the Government of Côte d’Ivoire each bring a unique expertise and approach to this initiative. The Bechtel would mobilize a team in the capital city Abidjan to work with MCC and government officials of the host country to help build a highly effective infrastructure master plan.
