Five hundred days and counting of unlikely resilience and resistance has caused $1 trillion of damage, but a better reflection of Ukraine has been revealed to the world. Now, technology will help rebuild it. https://t.co/dGoSq6xwSy

Procurement can be a powerful hidden lever to deliver better government services. Don't miss this great example from @pahlkadot. @opencontracting

[Washington Post Opinions @PostOpinions]

“Instead of squandering staggering capital spending with meager operating spending, New Jersey has invested in the people it needs to build and buy smartly,” @pahlkadot writes in a guest opinion.

“Expensive, static software rarely meets need.” https://t.co/ka8fFdSJAd

New job alert: We are hiring for a Head of our U.S. portfolio. Great opportunity to work with partners to transform how cities, states & the federal government does procurement so it's open, equitable, and environmentally friendly. https://t.co/xnOW09B7KS

[Open Contracting Partnership @opencontracting]

In 2022, our work reached more people than ever before. Read our Annual Report on how we made public contracting greener, cleaner, and more inclusive: https://t.co/os7eCHjeDB

On the #CfASummit main stage, @AdHocTeam's Paul Smith: "If we want to transform the US government into a digital service, we need to transform procurement." Our words and a perfect framing for our session in 15 minutes!

[Open Contracting Partnership @opencontracting]

Together with @WWF, today we launch the Red Flags for Conservation guide. We define 22 indicators as red flags for #conservation which suggest that #nature has not been fully considered in #infrastructure planning or procurement processes. Access it here: https://t.co/O0ozYwOEuL

[Open Contracting Partnership @opencontracting]

🟢It's World Sustainability Day!🟢 Care about the earth's #biodiversity? Then you would care about how #infrastructure networks are built & the impact they could have on nature. Already, in the last 50 years, wildlife populations have declined by ~60%. What can we do about it? 👇

[Kirsten Wyatt @kowyatt]

Two percent! #cfasummit

[Kaye Sklar @kaye_sklar]

This news made my day! Right now there's a huge efficiency gap (approximately 30%, according to the IMF) between the money that's spent on infrastructure, and the resulting quality. Glad to see @Arnold_Ventures take a big role in this space. @opencontracting

[Arnold Ventures @Arnold_Ventures]

Arnold Ventures is excited to formally announce the launch of our bold new infrastructure initiative, which will support research, policy development, and advocacy aimed at building U.S. infrastructure faster, better, and at lower cost. (1/)
