10 Decentralisation and Accreditation

Procurement Law outlines a process of decentralisation and accreditation of procurement processes in which Government Ministries are now authorised to take responsibility for their own purchases.

Accreditation is the process of enabling or authorising a government Ministry or other agency with the ability to carry out procurement procedures to fulfil their own needs.
