Public procurement is about far more than purchasing goods and services. It is about improving lives.
At #IPPC10, Dr. Michael Musanzikwa, Chief Director of Policy Analysis, Co-ordination, Devolution & Development Programmes in Zimbabwe’s Office of the President and Cabinet, challenged delegates to rethink procurement as a driver of national development rather than a routine administrative process.
His message was clear: citizens don’t measure procurement by paperwork or contracts. They measure it by the roads they drive on, the hospitals they access, and the schools that serve their communities.
Building stronger supply chains and focusing on development outcomes is how public procurement delivers real value where it matters most.

I became Uganda's first wildlife veterinarian in 1996, there were only about 650 mountain gorillas left in the world.
Today, there are over 1,063.
We are proud to have contributed to this positive growth trend though our #OneHealth approach to conservation. One of my first cases as the first Veterinary Officer of @ugwildlife was a scabies outbreak in the mountain gorillas. I learned that we cannot protect gorillas without caring for the people who live next to them.
Through
@CTPHuganda we started to Improve health care for families around Bwindi, so diseases like scabies don't pass from people to gorillas.
We train Village Health and Conservation Teams and Gorilla Guardians to monitor both human and gorilla health. We also help communities find livelihoods like Gorilla Conservation Coffee, so the forest becomes a benefit, not a burden. When communities are healthy, gorillas are healthy. That is One Health.
I am humbled to be named a Top 5
@CNN Hero for this work. The winner is decided by your vote.
Please vote at: CNN.com/Heroes 10 votes every day until November 29th.
Thank you for protecting the mountain gorillas and supporting the local communities with us.
