Introduction
Public procurement governs the state’s acquisition of goods and services needed to fulfill its public functions through private transactions with commercial suppliers. The training presumes that participants have a basic understanding of the public procurement system, but also includes a module that is an introduction to public procurement in Nigeria.
The training covers four modules:
- An introduction to public procurement
- Transparency in public procurement
- Gender-responsive procurement
- Behavioral insights for public procurement.
Each module is designed to provide practical information on the topics under study and includes reading materials, exercises, and additional resources for further learning.
Each module builds on the previous modules and participants’ understanding of public procurement in general. It is assumed that the knowledge and skills developed in prior modules and through work experience are in place. It will thus be expected of participants to rely on such prior knowledge and skills when engaging with the modules.
This training manual incorporates assessments through exercises at the end of each module. Participants are expected to engage with the questions as a means of reflecting on and assessing their own learning.
