We haven’t put up a news post for a while, which doesn’t mean there hasn’t been lots going on….

• Rod and Tristan spent 2 weeks in Lao PDR researching foreign direct investment in agriculture on a project for International Institute for Sustainable Development‘s Trade Knowledge Network.  This was our second project with our fantastic Lao partners, EDC.  The report will be published soon.
• We have been working with Revenue Watch on their latest transparency index.  More transparent details soon!
• We have been following promising news around the Save Bastion Point campaign – after more than a decade of effort, a suitable development looks likely, fingers crossed.
• Rod has been working with some new senior Ecolarge volunteers on a project for EDO NSW.  More details once the case has progressed.
• Undergrad Ecolarge volunteers found full-time jobs!  Congratulations to Richard who is off to Sydney next year to work for Port Jackson Partners and Mike who is now working for PWC in Melbourne.  Their work with Ecolarge was highly regarded by their new employers!
