Why did FRESH Global create an E-Procurement (ePro) system?*
In 2011, Mr. Kamau Lizwelicha, FRESH Global (FG) Co-Founder, wanted to understand the Uganda procurement ecosystem. So, he had a team perform a vendor survey to understand their challenges related to USAID procurement from USAID projects.
The survey results confirmed the similarities he had seen in other countries where he worked. The factors were many, such as the limited funding for program support and implementing organizations (NGOs) and senior management not paying attention to the procurement system.
The results often led to higher prices, delays in implementation, not achieving the expected USAID results, audit findings, and, in some cases, no future USAID awards. More importantly, the project activity might not have benefited the intended population.
Therefore, FG wanted to address the challenges and find a solution as they knew it exist within the donor implementing partners (both international and local NGOs) and within the government systems.
