    This document is a proclamation establishing procedures for public procurement and a supervisory agency in Ethiopia. It notes that public funds must be used efficiently and fairly. Procurement makes up a large part of public spending so it must be economic, efficient, transparent, and non-discriminatory. Procurement can also promote regional and national economic development. The proclamation then establishes a short title and provides definitions for key terms like goods, services, and works to clarify the scope and application of the procedures.
