Chief Executive Officer, Millennium Challenge Corporation

**Please be advised: This event will be premiering at 12:00 p.m. EDT, Thursday, May 7.**

Join Hudson Institute for a conversation with Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) CEO Sean Cairncross on how the agency is implementing unique approaches to security and stability through economic empowerment.

MCC has been developing innovative ways to promote economic security, stability, and good governance through strategic results-driven partnerships—focusing on partner country ownership. At the same time, the global coronavirus outbreak is likely to affect cash-limited and developing countries substantially more than wealthier nations—impacting economic output and costing lives.

What is MCC doing to ensure strong economic security and stability abroad? How are MCC’s strategic plan and goals being fulfilled across the globe, and does it offer an alternative to the Chinese model of development? Amid the COVID-19 outbreak, what new challenges have emerged to fulfilling MCC’s core objective of “reducing poverty through economic growth?”

The moderated conversation will address these and other questions.
