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.

Thanks for your invitation, I'm glad to join the event
This initiative is very interesting and paramount for the procurement professionalization. I appreciate to be associated with this outstanding debate on exchanging ideas to how to develop this weak link of the chain of a range of reforms undertaken for years in the field of public procurement.
I'm from Benin Republic and working in Abuja in as Field Procurement Officer at he Regional Hub of the Islamic Development Bank (IsDB)a bout two years.
I'm graduated from ITC/ILO and University of Turin. I have been in a recent past Chair of Public Procurement Commission in the Ministry of Finance and Housing before resumed in IsDB.
The procurement professionalization is a tricky issue I have been engaging in as I have been a lecturing in different national and regional universities for ten years.
The most important challenges we are facing in this area of procurement professionalization are the following:
1- a clear and contextualized training schemes to get at the end of a training programs well equipped professionals with the relevant and need knowledge and know-how to start up procurement activities in regard with the core and universal procurement principles for the improvement of a given economy,
2- the training of the trainers remains an unsettled issue since the training curricula are not clearly set in most of the developing countries,
3- The knowledge of the right need of procurement professionals in our workforce places, is still a challenge to overcome,
4- As the need of procurement professionals is mostly raised in public sectors, the governments although fail to set up a career path and relevant salaries and benefits to balance with the ethical, anticorruption and sometimes criminal threatens imposed on the procurement professionals resulting from the reforms undertaken in our countries.

Dear Sir/Madam,
I am interested in the webinar regarding the captioned matter.
Regards,
Could u ask from Hotaki Saib, regarding requirements of 1000 cader , how they process requirements process. We have one word in our local language Wasita it mean when u know some one at national procurement Authority u can get assigned very easy.
2 please ask from hotaki, there is no only procurement authority in Afghanistan, all governmental administration have procurement directorate, which responsible for NPA and own administration, but don’t getting capacity building, some time all allocated fund and budget transfer to WB due to mismanagement.
I have a lot of questions but can’t join this event
