Methodology for Assessing the Impact of Local Hiring and Procurement
Methodology for Assessing the Impact of Local Hiring and Procurement
2011
When development partners set up offices and undertake projects in fragile states, they hire local staff and procure goods and services from the local market. These activities mean that a partner or group of partners can become an extremely important source of demand in the local economy, particularly while that economy is recovering from conflict and problems with stability deter other potential market actors.
This methodology outlines how development partners and national governments can undertake joint in-country reviews of the impact of partner hiring and procurement practices. Many of the issues presented in this methodology will be familiar to those working in any development context and are relevant to many markets, not just those in fragile states.
