Increasing number of refugees and all-time highs in migration flows

Reducing Poverty Through Growth

Gapminder poll: In the last twenty years, the proportion of the global population living in extreme poverty has…

The reality is that there has been huge progress in both the total number of poor and the proportion living in poverty
Progress has been seen across a variety of other development indicators as well
Progress is not limited to one region, but Africa still lags behind
20051.36 billion
2013767 million
2025~450 million?
A shrinking problem – but perhaps a more difficult one?
From this trend also emerges a very MCC-specific conundrum

The confluence of these two trends provides a two-headed problem for MCC
12
How should MCC engage (or not) with the fragile states that are being left behind?
1
How should MCC approach the problem of a shrinking candidate pool?
2
Can MCC work with a more diverse range of country partners while staying true to its model?
3
What do you think?
These trends profoundly impact the potential pool of partners for MCC. How should we be
thinking about this?
The trend points to continued progress… but will the trend continue?
The Sustainable Development Goals provide an ambitious roadmap for where we want to be in 2030
There are huge financing gaps associated with these goals however…
15
…fortunately, development financing has never been higher or more diverse
16
Domestic resources are the largest source of financing – both public and commercial
18
19
Domestic resources are lowest where depth of poverty is highest
20
Low income countries are particularly dependent on official flows
21
Other trends: climate change
22
Other trends: demographic dividend
23
Other trends: urbanization
24
Other trends: access to technology

Are these trends surprising? What else are you tracking? What is missing?
1
What is MCC’s competitive advantage? How should we be thinking about these trends differently?
2
What are the implications for MCC? How can we better engage on these issues?
3
What do you think?
These are just a few trends that could potentially affect our work.
