About This Offer
The Millennium Challenge Corporation is an independent U.S. Government agency focused on unlocking growth through results-driven foreign assistance. MCC grants support large-scale infrastructure, strategic reforms, and economic modernization. MCC is unlocking growth: MCC’s singular focus on unlocking economic growth recognizes that prosperity is driven by trade, private sector growth, investments in innovation, and efficient markets. Our assistance programs catalyze private capital and champion market solutions, rather than encouraging dependency on foreign aid. To do this, MCC drives policy and institutional reforms that improve the management of public utilities and infrastructure, remove barriers to private sector competition, and modernize government administrative procedures. These reforms enable private sector investment, benefiting the overall economy. The proposed program in Fiji has the potential to unlock major gains for American and Fijian businesses, including tourism operators and investors who struggle to navigate unclear regulatory processes; and shipping and cruise lines, fuel exporters, hotel franchises, consumer goods and food exporters who contend with inefficiencies at the nation’s two largest ports - Suva and Lautoka.
