Nigeria faces significant challenges with corruption, as illustrated by the 2023 Corruption Perceptions Index. Public procurement is particularly vulnerable, and is one of the main areas through which corruption manifests in the public sector. Addressing corruption in public procurement is therefore important for a number of reasons. First, procurement is a lever for development that helps to ensure projects deliver development benefits to beneficiaries. It is vital to promoting sustainability and is also crucial for the effective utilization of public funds. Furthermore, procurement accounts for up to 50% of government expenditures in sub-Saharan Africa, making it essential from a policy implementation and financial management perspective.
