f. Major Projects 2017

1. Professionalization Program for Procurement Practitioners

Description: In 2006, a Professionalization Program was initially developed by the GPPB-TSO through an IDF Grant for the Professionalization of Public Procurement Practitioners and Functions from the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (“World Bank”) to further enhance the capacities of public procurement practitioners nationwide. Under the IDF Grant, a seventy-five day Procurement Professionalization Course in three levels was developed by the Asian Institute of Management (AIM) for the GPPB, which was pilot-tested to public procurement practitioners at different levels.

Through another IDF Grant in 2012, the World Bank implemented a project entitled Strengthening the Capacity of Procurement Institutions for Effective Implementation and Enforcement of the Procurement Law, which aimed at addressing the weakness of the procurement system as identified in the 2008 Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR), which included Capacity Development Program for Procurement Practitioners, among others. Under this IDF Grant, the Development Academy of the Philippines (DAP) reviewed, revised, and improved the Modules previously developed by AIM based on the most recent local and international best practices in public procurement vis-à-vis the provisions of Republic Act No. 9184 and its revised Implementing Rules and Regulations and allied issuances.

After the successful pilot implementation of the Professionalization Program under the 2012 IDF Grant, the Modules have become the cornerstone of the formal academic program implemented by the GPPB-TSO in collaborations with venerable educational institutions, as initial step to jumpstart the streamlining of the Professionalization Program through an offering of a certificate program on public procurement, in three (3) levels – basic, intermediate and advanced.

Through a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) entered into with the GPPB-TSO on the first and second quarter of 2017, the following Universities committed to offer a certificate program on public procurement:

University of the Philippines (UP);
Central Luzon State University (CLSU);
Kalinga State University (KSU);
Cagayan State University (CSU);
Sultan Kudarat State University (SKSU); and
West Visayas State University (WVSU)

Beneficiaries
