“When we are talking about public procurement we are talking about the activities of government and government related entities purchasing goods and services. Procurement is a major pillar for service delivery”- Josephine Ncube, #localprocurementforwomen Sweden in Zimbabwe 🇸🇪 Ministry of Local Government and Public Works

Section 29 of the #Zimbabwe Public Procurement Act provides for preference for women and women-owned businesses in public procurement. #procurementopportunitiesforwomen Sweden in Zimbabwe 🇸🇪 Ministry of Local Government and Public Works Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe Tapiwa Alvin Zvaraya Colleen Lowe Morna

“One of the biggest challenges with implementing section 29 of the #Zimbabwe Procurement Act is the misinterpretation and ambiguity of the provision” says local authorities. This then gives room for the exclusion of other groups including women. Sweden in Zimbabwe 🇸🇪 Ministry of Local Government and Public Works Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe
