A Regional Conference for Procurement Practitioners in East Asia-Pacific
Crowne Plaza-Holiday Inn, Ortigas Center, Pasig City, Philippines
16-18 January 2012
The Open Doors 2009 Regional Forum on Procurement Monitoring successfully convened what was to become the social accountability (SAc) procurement regional network in EAP. More importantly, Open Doors 2009 set in motion the crafting of the regional procurement agenda of the Affiliated Network for Social Accountability in East Asia and the Pacific (ANSA-EAP). This agenda aimed to harness and build on existing groups and initiatives focused on procurement monitoring, in an effort to consolidate and capacitate them towards becoming an active community of SAc practitioners. In the context of a SAc community of practice, the knowledge (i.e., tales, tools, techniques) used by the practitioners in each country may be shared, improved, adapted, and adopted by other groups in the network.
