24. February 2012 - Joint COMPETE and SATH Mission to ACE
USAID COMPETE can no longer fund projects in Malawi and will
therefore end their directly relationship with ACE when the
2nd grant comes to an end 31st
March 2012. The USAID Southern Africa Trade Hub (SATH) has
expressed interest in extending support to continue the activities
started by COMPETE and ACE. A
joint mission by Mr Ian Goggin from COMPETE and Mr Emile Matthee
from SATH has just come to an end. Mr Emile Matthee was introduced
to the scope of ACE
activities and the environment ACE operates in. SATH will now
review the findings and ACE hopes a formal partnership can be
started.
6. January 2012 - COMPETE approve no-cost extension
ACE had requested a no-cost extension from COMPETE
to extent the project duration from
15. January 2012 to 31 March 2012. The request is
now approved. Thank you COMPETE.
