What is the ProcureGoals Case Studies Series?
The Case Studies Series highlights public procurement initiatives aligned with SDGs. Through real-life examples, analysis, and case studies, it showcases the positive impact that such procurement projects can have on promoting sustainable development. Our goal is to raise awareness among governments and stakeholders on the importance of public procurement in achieving SDGs.
How are Case Studies Conducted?
Through our detailed examination of the content within public procurement solicitations/tenders, contracts, strategies or practices, we aim to assess the degree of alignment with SDGs and their associated targets. This thorough analysis allows us to determine the extent to which these initiatives contribute to the global goals of sustainability and development.
What are SDGs?
The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are 17 Goals for a better world, addressing poverty, inequality, climate change, and more. They aim for a more equitable, sustainable world for every individual, present, and future generations. The SDGs promote a balanced approach to economic, social, and environmental concerns, providing a roadmap for a more inclusive future.
What is Public Procurement?
Public procurement is a process where governments and state-owned enterprises acquire goods, services, and works. It plays a crucial role in the economy by promoting fair competition and transparency in purchasing transactions. Through public procurement, governments are able to obtain essential supplies and services necessary for the delivery of public services to citizens.
