- Procurement policy for aid channelled through Development Finance Institutions for example augmentation of project social and economic impact assessment studies to identify opportunities to stimulate local supply chains
- Assurance of transparency and accountability in the procurement of donor-funded and public sector capital projects, for example publically procured construction projects, and infrastructure and oil and gas projects procured by private operators on public concessions
