Although that Basma has the basic knowledge and the experience in the procurement from her experiment in the local procurement committees, but the nature of her work in the field of studies and planning in the Government Procurement Department requires from her to understand the entire procurement system in details, since she cannot accomplish what she do of reading procurement data and analyzing it to find the outputs and results that are interpreted in scientific reports that evaluate the reality situation of the department’s basic work.  As a result of that analysis and doing reports, the problems and challenges which procurement faces will appear, so as her studies show the problems, it also presents the proposed solutions and recommendations to decision-makers and policy-makers.

Basma found that IMPPM a great opportunity and she looks in the future through it to be an expert in the field of public procurement so that she can contribute in the development & enhancement of the core function of her department & provide the right information and help her colleagues working in the field of public procurement to raise their efficiency according to international best practices.
