MALAWI UNDERTAKES CAPACITY ASSESSMENT OF ITS PROCUREMENT |
|
With financial support from the UNDP, the ODPP undertook a procurement capacity assessment exercise to establish the state of affairs since the Office was established by the Malawi Government four years ago and charged it with the responsibility to monitor, regulate and oversee public procurement undertakings in the country.
One of the main objectives of the Procurement Capacity Assessment was to create a common understanding of the existing procurement capacity levels, with a view to identifying and formulating strategies to strengthen the capacity of the procurement system.
The comprehensive assessment documents are accessible here: 1-Procurement Capacity Assessment.pdf ; 2-Step by Step to Procurement Capacity Assessment in Malawi.pdf ; 3-Procurement Capacity Development and Strengthening Plan.pdf |

ODPP, UNIMA Launch Procurement Degree |
|
The University of Malawi in conjunction with the Office of the Director of Public Procurement (ODPP) among other stakeholders on Tuesday evening launched the Bachelor of Procurement and Logistics Management programme at the Polytechnic which has been touted as one of the weapons to improve the quality of procurement deals and fight corruption to preserve scarce resources in the long-term.
In his speech during the launch of the programme at Sunbird Mount Soche Hotel in Blantyre, Director of Public Procurement Bright Mangulama, who was the guest of honour at the function, said his office teamed up with the University of Malawi, United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and United States Agency for International Development (Usaid) to introduce the degree programme in a bid to ensure that the country has the calibre of people needed to handle procurement in an ethical, professional and transparent manner.
Mangulama noted that for a long time procurement functions in the public sector have been treated as mediocre jobs fit to be performed by those deemed less capable in other departments, a scenario he said was detrimental to the country’s economic development and growth of the profession as is the case in other countries.
