As part of its focus on increased professionalism in local and international procurement, and in order
to enhance local capacities, UNDP offers a variety of specialized training courses to staff of the UN

All courses are a balanced combination of lectures, case studies and workshops. The opportunity for
peer-group interaction is also a crucial element of the courses. Best practice, trouble shooting
