MCC’s $536 million Ghana Compact (2007-2012) funded the $9.4 million Education Sub-Activity, which included the rehabilitation or construction of 221 schools in Ghana’s Afram, Northern, and Southern zones. The program was based on the theory that investments in education infrastructure would lead to improved school access, which would then lead to increased enrollment, attendance, and completion. Improved school outcomes would lead to poverty reduction through economic growth.
