Strategic Framework for Mainstreaming and Strengthening Public Procurement

Chapter 1 of the Good Practice Papers on Strengthening Procurement Capacities in Development Countries - Strategic Framework for Mainstreaming and Strengthening Public Procurement - focuses on how to develop a better communications strategy to attract greater attention to procurement issues and the need for procurement reforms, and illustrates the important linkages between procurement and the broader public financial management system of government.

Because mainstreaming entails major change, the framework also provides background and advice on the many new techniques on change management, drivers of/and barriers to change, systems theory and effective communications strategies that should help governments overcome resistance to change.

Mainstreaming is the engine that powers successful procurement reform.
