The Millennium Challenge Account-Liberia (MCA-L) initiated an internship program January 2018, as a key support to national capacity building that will give young people the opportunity to gain experience in work places as a springboard for launching a career. The program is in line with Africa’s Promise, a new initiative from the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) to empower youths of compact implementing countries by providing internship opportunities supporting the implementation of MCC compact programs across Africa. “Approximately 60 percent of Africa’s total population is below the age of 35”, according to MCC. Interns will learn technical skills, leadership skills and project management best practices – including financial and public sector management – in the local country context while helping to advance MCC’s mission to reduce poverty through economic growth. Interns will support the large-scale development projects that make up MCC-funded compact programs and get exposure to targeted professional development and networking opportunities in both the public and private sectors.
