Session overview
Join the Oxford POGO Club online at 4pm, Tuesday 30 May (rescheduled from 28th March).
How do you measure and increase the inclusiveness of contracting policies in a country? In this session, we will explore strategies to increase the participation of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), women businesses, and minority groups in public procurement. This was the focus of a 2022 resource from the Open Contracting Partnership (OCP), Inclusive and effective public procurement: Findings and lessons from research in 12 countries. OCP's Camila Salazar will co-chair this session with short presentations from some of the researchers and discussion by an expert panel.
The Procurement of Government Outcomes (POGO) Club is a knowledge sharing initiative that is open to anyone interested in capacity building in public procurement and in collaboration to improve social outcomes. We host monthly calls, maintain a mailing list, and share other resources. Participants come from many different disciplines, sectors, and countries. Our chair is Anne Davies, Professor of Law and Public Policy.
