Talking to Government and asking the International Community to Buy Local

At the recent Timor-Leste Development Partners Meeting in March 2008 the NGO community asked the Government to help them encourage the international community to take note of the potentially positive economic impact of local procurement. And to Buy Local.

In short,

"We ask the Government to join our call on international partners to increase local spending, helping to stimulate job creation and build private sector capacity."
