On Democracy in Foreign Assistance: During an interview following his appointment, Bah noted: “(The MCC’s) appreciation for diversity is reflected in our core agency values, which explain how we respect individuals and ideas. It is also reflected in our work with our partner countries—several of which have historic ties to slavery—and in our strong emphasis on country ownership and democratic values, where inclusion extends to the most marginalized and underserved populations.” (source)
