• This outcome aims to address weaknesses in the local government procurement systems and procedures. In particular, the key interventions include strengthening the integrity of LG procurement procedures and developing an enhanced legal framework for LG procurement. The approach to strengthening integrity of procurement is framed by undertaking a procurement integrity survey at LG level with contractors, procurement officials, LG leaders and CSOs, to agree challenges and actions for improvement. On the basis of the survey, a national campaign to strengthen integrity of procurement at HLG level will be developed, including support to the procurement function, as required. The survey will be followed up in 2020 to assess the impact of the campaign.
