CDB Increasing Investment in Procurement Professionals Across the Caribbean to Boost the Impact of Public Funding<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

 <\/strong>The Caribbean Development Bank<\/a> (CDB, the Bank) is strengthening public procurement systems across the region through targeted capacity building and professionalisation initiatives. As procurement continues to evolve into a strategic function critical to development effectiveness, CDB is investing in the people and partnerships that will shape the future of public sector delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head of Procurement (Acting) Naomi Akoy-Bouguenon, <\/strong>speaking at the XIX Annual Conference of the Inter-American Network on Government Procurement (INGP) said, \u201cProcurement is no longer just about compliance – it\u2019s about leadership, strategy, and impact.We are proud to support the transformation of procurement into a recognised profession, one that demands specialised skills, ethical standards, and a deep understanding of development goals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CDB\u2019s efforts are anchored in a multi-pronged approach that includes scholarships and regional training programmes, made possible by powerful strategic partnerships. Through its Procurement Scholarship Programme<\/a>, the Bank has enabled professionals from across the Caribbean to pursue the International Master\u2019s in Public Procurement Management (IMPPM) at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. This initiative, co-financed with the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB), has equipped participants with advanced tools to lead reform efforts in their home countries.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Complementing this, the Caribbean Procurement Training Programme<\/a> (CPTP) – delivered in partnership with the World Bank and the University of Technology, Jamaica (Utech) – offers internationally recognised Chartered Institute of Procurement and Supply (CIPS) Level 4 and 5 Diplomas. With participants from over 13 countries, CPTP continues to build regional capacity and strengthen procurement governance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProfessionalising procurement is not a luxury – it\u2019s a necessity<\/em>,\u201d added Akoy-Bouguenon<\/strong>. \u201cBy investing in training and education, we are empowering procurement professionals to become agents of change, capable of delivering public value and driving inclusive growth.\u201d<\/em><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

CDB\u2019s leadership is further reflected in its endorsement of a shared vision for elevating procurement<\/a> across Latin America and the Caribbean. One of the most effective mechanisms for this collaboration is the INGP. The network serves as a regional platform for the dissemination of best practices and tools, and networking among procurement practitioners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2025, CDB supported 17 Caribbean Procurement Directors\u2019 participation in the INGP Conference, exposing them to invaluable exchanges and debates on emerging trends in e-Government Procurement (e-GP). As the region continues to embrace digital transformation and emerging technologies, CDB remains committed to ensuring that procurement professionals are equipped to navigate the evolving landscape. The INGP plays a particularly valuable role in this area, serving as a space for countries to share lessons learned, explore digital tools and standards, and exchange experiences on the design and implementation of e-GP systems.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through continuous learning, regional collaboration, and strategic investment, the Bank is helping to build a future where procurement delivers real impact.<\/p>
