In a recent speech, USAID Administrator Samantha Power outlined plans to increase the amount her agency spends with local contractors to 25%.
One of the announcements in the speech was that a new website, WorkWithUSAID.org, would offer opportunities for NGOs to engage with the United States Agency for International Development for the first time.
Devex talked to Matthew Johnson, industry liaison at USAID, about how the site will work and how USAID will make its localization goals a reality.
