Purchase orders for procurement services which are also a strategy for leveraging additional resources for children amounted to 224 million, of which 77 per cent was for vaccines.

In addition, UNDP will also issue best practice guidance on specific aspects of procurement as part of the overall strategy for the management of prescriptive content in UNDP.

The implication is that the issue will continue to grow in importance, thereby providing the United Nations system with an opportunity to design a common technical assistance strategy and programme directed at public procurement capacity building in the developing countries, with an important e government procurement component.
