Business Mission to Washington, DC

Always in order to give the best information to its members, the CCAfrica began a series of business missions to International Financing Institutions.   With the global financial crisis and the food crisis that is particularly rife in the developing countries and in Africa, these major institutions should review their priorities and some of their methods, so CCAfrica brings its members directly to the source of the «privileged” information.  

In this mission to Washington, the delegation of CCAfrique, consisting of eight Canadian participants from the private sector and the field of education met with key stakeholders.   At the Millennium Challenge Corporation, the delegation was received by Mr. Micheal McEntire Director Procurement Policy, Department of compact Implementation and Mr. Matt Harsha-Strong, program Officer for Private Sector Initiatives. At the Bank World, the delegation was received by Mr. Francois Pagé from the Canadian administrator Bureau & Mr. Lester Dally Senior Advisor for External Affairs.   The delegation has assist at very interesting presentations on the evolution of the WB by Mr John W.
