Focus: ICT for MDGs
Country: Mauritius
Created: Sep 07, 2011

The conference, which bears the theme "Transformation of the Commonwealth Public Procurement Network: The Need for Partnership in Public Procurement", will enable the Commonwealth Secretariat to identify country-specific needs for the strengthening of key institutions of public administration and their capacities to promote best practices and to reduce corruption.

"The conference will capitalise on synergies from effective partnerships and networking, which will enhance the impact, effectiveness and value for money in public procurement projects, thereby maximising the taxpayers' money," said Andy Wynne, Acting Adviser, Public Expenditure Management at the Commonwealth Secretariat.

"The conference will help to strengthen relations between procurement regulatory and policy-making agencies in the Commonwealth. It will also examine the diversity and commonality of reforms which can be adapted to their own national environment," he added.

The conference is co-organised by the Commonwealth Secretariat and the Government of Mauritius.
