This experience allowed him to approach public procurement from a different perspectives : control, audit, management, monitoring and evaluation, drafting regulations, assesment of public procurement system... Thus, he learned to go beyond the classic vision that is limited to compliance with laws. Public procurements, for him, is above all, a complex operation where compliance with the law must go hand in hand with efficiency and effectiveness. He had acquired this way of seeing things thanks to its responsibilities, which suppose a watch on the best practices, but also, thanks to the opportunity of working with the experts of various international institutions. This allowed him to make the improvement of public procurement governance his principal concern .
