PUBLIC PROCUREMENT FOR INCLUSIVE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

Assisting government to drive inclusive socio-economic empowerment policies through procurement.

Overview

In most African economies, public procurement and supply chain practices are not adequately leveraged to support accelerated inclusive and socio-economic development. The combination of low growth and rising unemployment means that most economies in Africa’s economic trajectory is unsustainable. Public procurement and supply chain management has been used explicitly to pursue socio-economic objectives. Beyond the primary goal of advancing social objectives, procurement is leveraged towards generating employment, enhancing domestic manufacturing capacity, and supporting the nascent renewable energy industry. Governments devote significant portions of their budgets to procuring goods, services, and infrastructure. This enormous purchasing power needs to be reformed to ensure that the state is buying the most sustainable solutions to address today’s challenges.
