The Publish What You Fund data is in, and the Millennium Challenge Corporation is, once again, the single most transparent bi-lateral aid agency on the Aid #Transparency #2024Index. This year, we broke the top three for *all* donors and we are a little bit excited. Transparency is part of our DNA at MCC. It is a key piece of how we are #accountable, how we #respect our country partners, and (maybe most of all) how we make sure that we learn *in public* about what works in promoting #EconomicGrowth and #PovertyReduction. Enthusiam in the video, more details on the index 👇: https://lnkd.in/eF9RZX7n
