The Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) has selected Zambia for a second Compact worth US$450 million.

This was announced during a private meeting between President Hakainde Hichilema and the MCC Chief Executive Officer, Alice Albright, at State House on Monday.

President Hichilema stressed the need for fast project implementation and expressed hope for a quick agreement signing.

HE also said Zambia’s ties with the USA will reinforce socio-economic development and infrastructure projects in the country.

President Hichilema praised the MCC’s first Compact, which improved water supply and sanitation to enhance the country’s public health.
