Roughly every quarter we have a meeting with the Corporate Procurement team to discuss any issues, problems, complaints and – every once in a while – compliments that you have raised with us. In this post, we’d like to update you on some of the changes in the corporate procurement process and the eConsultant2 system it uses. In the spotlight this time: forthcoming improvements.

On stage, Minister Ploumen made a new commitment to provide clean drinking water and toilets for those who currently lack access. Watch her speak to the crowd in Washington.
