The Millennium Challenge Corporation: Fighting Corruption
May 19 webchat will feature MCC policy associate Alicia Phillips Mandaville
The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) is a U.S. government corporation designed to work with some of the world’s poorest countries to reduce global poverty by promoting sustainable economic growth. Fighting corruption is at the core of MCC's mission and is a key part of the U.S. government’s approach to poverty reduction. MCC promotes measures to prevent and detect fraud and corruption before problems occur and after problems emerge. Alicia Phillips Mandaville will join us on May 19 at 9 a.m. EDT (13:00 GMT) to discuss the relationship between combating corruption and reducing poverty worldwide.
Alicia Phillips Mandaville is a senior policy associate at the Millennium Challenge Corporation. As a member of the development policy team, she is responsible for identifying policy issues, analyzing alternative approaches and recommending strategies for the most effective execution of MCC's mission.
Before joining MCC, Mandaville served as the National Democratic Institute’s senior program officer for governance and poverty reduction and worked on poverty issues in Africa, Asia, Europe and Latin America. She is the author of several publications on poverty and also served as a U.N. Development Programme consultant for legislative programs in East Asia and Central Europe.
