UN Public Procurement Resource Website
The UN Procurement Capacity Development Centre (PCDC) has launched a new website at www.unpcdc.org, which aims to link a broad network of individuals and organizations in both developed and developing countries, from governments, the private sector, civil society groups, educational institutions, and other organizations. This website provides a forum for the exchange of information on procurement capacity development research, analysis, approaches, tools and lessons from experience.

UNDP also offers specialised procurement training courses, which are open to staff of the UN system, the donor community, NGOs, and governments: http://www.undp.org/procurement/training.shtml
