Gambia
Public Procurement Authority (GPPA) recently trained government officials,
including director generals and managing directors on the public procurement
principles and EU directives, at Baobab resort in Bijilo.
The
Authority’s managing director, Abdoulie Tambedou described the training as
timely, as it is held at the beginning of the financial year.
He
said the training is important because it is the first time to bring the
officials at one platform and the first time to introduce a single source of
public procurement as part of the development policy of financing from the
World Bank.
Deputy
permanent secretary of the ministry of finance and economic affairs, Juldeh
Ceesay said the government is very much appreciative of the good turnout of the
officials, saying that shows the importance of public procurement in the
country.
