A Guide to Getting Started in Local Procurement

This is a Guide prepared by the International Finance Corporation in collaboration with Engineers Against Poverty that aims to help companies, interested in creating linkages with local small and medium enterprises, create a policy that engages local content in their procurement processes.

The document is divided in 4 chapters which are meant to be the steps to follow for a successful local content policy. Those are: 1. Company self-assessment; 2. Business drivers; 3. Defining local; and 4. Policy.
