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

25

26

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.
