Introduction
Hosted in UNSSC Blue Line platform, these new procurement courses were developed by UNSSC in close cooperation with the Office of Supply Chain Management (OSCM)/UN Procurement Division and the Capacity Development and Operational Training Service (CDOTS).
Objectives
The new UN Procurement Campus is a unique space for free and continuous learning on UN procurement. It is designed to support management and staff involved in procurement processes.
Course methodology
After registration, participants can start and complete courses and activities at their own pace.
Each course offers a combination of small knowledge units (self-paced micro-lessons) with activities that promote the consolidation and reflection on course key takeaways. Scenario-based learning exposes participants to examples, real-life challenges and tasks of UN procurement processes.
Additionally, course participants will be able to consolidate takeaways through reflective practices and interaction with other participants via discussion forums, and other activities.
Participants will get a certificate for each course completed. The course certificate will be released upon successful completion of all lessons and activities set for the specific course.
