Hi!
The home page of CSPro indicates that the funding for it is provided by the USAID. In light of the recent activity of the new US President (with USAID programs frozen and staff laid off) how can we be certain that the CSPro software remains a viable tool with continuous development, timely fixes and adequate support of the users?
Or is this the end of CSPro already?
Thank you!

Re: Future development and support
In May of this year, CSPro will turn 25-years-old. If you count the software "parents" of CSPro, ISSA and IMPS, then you can add many additional years to the age of CSPro. USAID, as well as other partners, have been reliable funders of CSPro development and support for many decades. That doesn't guarantee that CSPro will be around forever, but I would advise caution against making any conclusions about the future of CSPro based on what is happening this month (and perhaps the next two months).
