Join organizations leading the call for more transparency in U.S. foreign aid. Transparency promotes localization and accountability. aidtransparency.controlshift…
I signed this letter to @USAID because it's critical to ensure that aid dollars reach the intended beneficiaries in local communities that they're intended for, and the high impact local organizations that are doing so much great work! Please take action and sign today.
Transparency holds @USAID & larger partners accountable to commitments made to get more resources directly to local organizations and frontline innovators.
Proud to co-sign this open letter w/ @NEAR_Network @CIVICUSalliance & @POGOwatchdog.
