Every Dollar Counts: Driving Impact Through Procurement
Sustainable and strategic procurement is the cornerstone of our impact.
It is the strategic lever we use to ensure every dollar we spend drives progress towards a greener, more equitable future, not just today but for generations to come.
For example, using our established relationships and global networks, we were able to create significant savings from our procurement efforts. These savings were key in establishing the innovative Solar for Health initiative.
In 2023, this commitment to sustainable procurement for development was reflected in our increased investment in renewable energy solutions.

Smart Spending.
Big Impact.
Expanding Access to Energy
More than 80% of the development assistance provided by UNDP in Zimbabwe is delivered in the form of goods and services. As a result, we have used our procurement efforts as a gateway to pursue and implement a sustainable agenda, balance the gender scales, and ensure value for money.
In 2023, we handled procurement transactions that totalled US$140 million, of which US$97 million was primarily directed towards acquiring essential goods and services.
In addition, our procurement processes have transitioned to being fully electronic, an experience we were privileged to share with the Procurement Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe and other stakeholders in 2023.
Our procurement efforts prioritise the acquisition of sustainable products and services, not only for our own use but also for our partners.
