“…3 Although there is much uncertainty about the potential savings that could result from eliminating inefficiencies (including corruption), it is clear that these savings could be substantial. In fact, one estimate is that inefficiencies account for up to 20 percent of the value of transactions in the region, with corruption being responsible for an additional 20 percent (Harper, Ramirez, and Ayala 2016;Moñux et al 2016;Schapper and Veiga Malta 2011).…”

The COVID-19 pandemic has sped up digital transformation and brought within reach the possibility of dramatic improvements in public services for millions across Latin America and the Caribbean.

The role of public procurement professionals in achieving value for money in public procurement activities is widely acknowledged around the globe. This has inspired the organisation of training programmes and workshops for procurement professionals, particularly those in developing countries in order to hone their knowledge and skills for proper management of government projects. This paper sought to explore the opportunities in networking for knowledge in capacity building of procurement professionals in Ghana. The study adopted mixed research methods for both data collection and analysis. The paper revealed that professional networking can offer procurement professionals the opportunity to acquire new knowledge from external professionals, knowing global trends about procurement practice and glean new information from other institutions about procurement. It is recommended that a platform that can support a network of procurement professionals in Ghana should be developed in order to ensure effective interaction and communication among procurement professionals for their capacity building.
