| dc.description.abstract | The goal of the study was to compile data on the elements that affect openness and accountability in AAU public procurement, particularly with regard to EiABC. The study employed a mixed-methods approach, including both primary and secondary data as well as a descriptive survey methodology. The target group of the study was EiABC personnel, and a sample of 87 individuals was selected using a purposive sampling technique. The data was analyzed using the statistical software SPSS version 26. The results of the study revealed issues with openness and accountability in public procurement. The complaint review board was found to be ineffective in managing complaints from personnel, suppliers, and consumers. To address these challenges, it is recommended to establish an institution that can enhance procurement capacity and implement a program to improve transparency. It is also important to establish a complaint review board that can effectively handle and assess complaints. Additionally, there should be a standardized structure for procurement units based on their organizational behavior and expenditure levels. Regular updates to the FPPA website are necessary to ensure accessibility for users, such as public bodies and suppliers. Lastly, the recruitment and promotion process should be based on merit to ensure transparency and accountability within the organization. Key words: public procurement, Transparency and Accountability, Procurement Staff Competence, Complaint Handling, Procurement Unit Structure, Information Communication Technology and Nepotism. | |
