    Introduction:

    The West African Economic and Monetary Union Capacity Building Program for Public Procurement Reforms (PRMP-UEMOA) was approved by the Executive Board of ACBF in May 2007.

    Project Description:

    The goal of the project was to consolidate the first phase (regulatory framework financed by the World Bank between 2002 and 2005) by: (a) effectively implementing the community regulations adopted by UEMOA in December 2005; (b) incorporating these regulations into the national legislations of the eight member states of UEMOA; (c) establishing a sub-regional information system; (d) building the public procurement capacity of economic operators in the sub-region; and (e) building the capacity of UEMOA in monitoring the implementation of the regulations.

The recognition of ACBF as the African Union’s Specialized Agency for Capacity Development launches the beginning of a new era for capacity building by ACBF, which will require an appropriate level of political commitment and financial support from all stakeholders.

The remarkable achievements ACBF has registered over the past 26 years is not by accident in our opinion. They have come through hard work, dedication, commitment, purposeful leadership, support from the member countries as well as productive partnership building.

Africa needs ACBF as much, probably more now, than at the time it was created in 1991.

Ghana’s partnership with ACBF is a tremendous blessing for us and therefore the opportunity for Ghana to host the 26th ACBF Board of Governors Meeting is something that we treasure.
