The rich and strong bilateral cooperation between the Governments of Senegal and the United States has made it possible to develop and implement a program aimed at reducing poverty through economic growth. This program materialized by a first  Compact  of 540 million dollars signed between Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) and the Government of Senegal in September 2009 and implemented over a period of five (5) years, between 2010 and 2015 to through a partnership called Millennium Challenge Account (MCA) Senegal.

Following a successful implementation of its first Compact and having achieved significant improvements on the main governance indicators of the  MCC scorecard , especially on the issues of democracy promotion and the fight against corruption, Senegal has been declared eligible to develop a second Compact by the Board of Directors of the MCC, meeting in December 2015.

As such, the government of Senegal has set up the Formulation and Coordination Unit of the Second MCA-Senegal Program (UFC MCA-Senegal). The unit is responsible for formulating the proposal that Senegal is called upon to submit for MCC funding.

Mission of the Coordination Unit of the Formulation

UFC MCA-Senegal's mission is:

• To conduct on behalf of the Government of Senegal negotiations with the US side on all technical issues related to the implementation of the second program MCA-Senegal.
• To ensure, also, the functions of delegated project management related to the formulation of the proposal that Senegal is called upon to submit for the financing of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, representing the United States Government.

The Minister of Petroleum and Energy is the Government's focal point for the formulation of the second MCA-Senegal program.
