News Summary:
On May 5, 2025, Q2IMPACT and Q2GLOBAL QED Group Companies appointed Rob Jenkins as a Strategic Advisor. Jenkins has over thirty years of experience in conflict prevention, democratic governance, and post-crisis development within the USG.

Finally, legislative action is underway to transfer a former USAID program to the State Department due to significantly reduced commodity purchases.
