OVERVIEW
The World Bank has been supporting the professionalization of public procurement to help strengthen the skills and competencies of practitioners and make the delivery of goods, services, and works to citizens more efficient.
In Afghanistan, the National Procurement Authority, through Civil Services Commission, has developed a Procurement Cadre Regulation and recruited about 1000 procurement staff. The National Procurement Institute has developed systematic training, certification, and accreditation of staff. This was part of the Fiscal Performance Support Project with support from the World Bank.
In Nigeria, the World Bank-funded Sustainable Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards Enhancement Project (SPESSE) is supporting six federal universities to graduate 21,240 students in Procurement, Environmental and Social Standards (PES). The project is also helping central government agencies to commence professionalization programs in PES.

International Movement for Advancement of Education Culture Social & Economic Development (IMAECSED) wants to join in your discussion regarding combat against corruption to build government machinery strength and successful. Government being the trusty of their citizen, it's machinery should be transparent and accountable. Working environment in many LDC countries may not be fully favorable but it can not undermine their conduct in services. Corruption germinates inside the government servants more quickly than the other groups of people in the country. To remedy these inconsistency application of procerement should be fair and transparent.
its Interesting to note that the profession is growing so rapidly.I excited to learn more and to take part in future surveys
Consultant eng.
Thanks for your email and would like to join in such a discussion. Could you please give me more details accordingly?
I am very glad and looking forward to join in the event.
Very interested to contribute in any way possible for me to cut the size of corruption in my country Nigeria. Public procurement is the worst system that executive use in stealing our resources.
It will be helpful to devise mutual strategy to coping up corruption in Public sector specially in Asian countries like Pakistan, Afghanistan, India
I will like to be part of the conversation. Thanks
It's a great initiative. I would love to be part of the initiative.
Will really like to participate as my campaign for Security Procurements should have due process teams though confidential due process teams. And Emirates Councils should also have due process teams on Procurements, which the Emirates should also participate in Monitoring and Supervision as every procurement projects falls under an emirate territory. They should independently carryout Monitoring and Supervision in the likes of Works Ministries, Procurement bureau/boards, house of Assemblies, the executives and MDA's/LGA's Resident Due Process Team.
If executive arm procures works, goods and services then let monitoring of the procurements be under House of assemblies(legislative arms) as already judiciary see to judgment processes even procurement cases. That is Bureau of public procurement and the states procurement boards and procurement councils be under legislatives.
Procuring and monitoring is not suppose to be by single arm of government and the executives are the best to procure but not monitoring at the same time.
Also, constituency project procurement suppose to go through due processes as they are public projects. And also to show good examples by the legislative. Excempting also procurement audit of legislative constituency projects is ill nature.
