Procurement allows governments and international organizations to meet the needs of its citizens and fulfill their mandates. The reform of procurement systems, the improvement of its processes and building capacity for its implementation are areas of increasing focus and importance. An efficient and transparent procurement system is an ideal mechanism to further economic, social and environmental development in countries and regions in a sustainable manner.
The Graduate School and INPRI offerings center around the public sector agenda for sustainable development, with courses on key aspects of procurement reform including electronic government procurement (e-GP), sustainable procurement and the overall improvement of the procurement function. The courses are essential for managers, business developers, policy makers, journalists, economists, lawyers, commercial officers and other middle to senior officials interested in gaining a thorough understanding of international procurement issues and practices shaping the world today.
