Togo: Public procurement regulator launches training program for municipal officials

(Togo First) - In Togo, the Public Procurement Regulatory Authority (ARCOP) just started a team-training course for officials in charge of awarding public contracts at the municipality level.  The course began yesterday, May 30, and will end on June 3. Over 500 participants from the Plateaux-Est, Ouest, and Maritime regions are participating.

They will learn about public procurement management procedures and the preparation of simplified tender documents. The training modules explored during the course are designed to help the municipality representatives better tackle fraudulent practices in the procurement process.

The training should also bolster local players’ expertise, equipping them with the tools they need to meet the challenges they face in preparing tender documents.

"This training is ARCOP's response to various requests and recommendations to overcome the deficit in the mastery of procedures," said Elom Aziadekey, administrative and financial director of the public procurement regulator.

The capacity-building session will continue in the northern part of the country from June 13.
