'USAid now free to buy goods from companies in poor countries'

[Nate Barthel]

Hello All,

You may be aware of this recent change, but if not, I thought it worth
passing on as I feel it relates to CiC and certainly to locally driven
solutions in general.

Thanks for passing that along Nate. Definitely has potential to change up some major in-country processes, but remains to be seen to what extent and also how long it will take to actually feel the results of this decision. A step in the right direction though!

cheers to all,

Heather
