Procurement

Procurement is a core function of public financial management and service delivery. Good public procurement systems are central to the effectiveness of development expenditure from both national and donor sources. However, procurement systems in many developing countries remain weak and past attempts to strengthen them have been hesitant at best.

The Task Force on Procurement is an international forum for procurement specialists representing multilateral institutions, bilateral development agencies and developing countries engaged in procurement reform. Its mandate is to fulfill the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness and its commitments to: strengthen national procurement systems; support capacity development, and use of local country systems.
