MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS
·
Upon
taking up the position as Chief, Procurement & Logistics Division, I
followed up closely the Implementation of the UN reform process initiated by
the Secretary General with specific aim of improvements in the procurement
process.
·
Closely
coordinated and assisted a Donor sponsored Consultancy work aimed at such
improvements.
·
Developed
in coordination with the Consultants a broad and UNRWA tailored staff training
program in the area of Procurement and Logistics.
·
Conducted
together with the Consultants the developed four-stage training program over a
period of 5 months in 2000. More than 100 of UNRWA’s Procurement &
Logistics staff benefited from this training program.
·
Based on
the Consultants final report and recommendations, arranged and conducted an
UNRWA Senior Management Procurement Workshop over two days in March 2001. The
workshop consisting of UNRWA’s most senior management studied, reviewed and
decided on support for most of the recommendations made.
·
Subsequent
to this, developed, prepared, submitted and obtained approval on a detailed
Procurement & Logistics three years Action Plan aimed at radical
improvements of the Procurement & Logistics functions of UNRWA in all
aspects of systems, practices and human resources through higher levels of
service quality, better transparency, clearer accountability, improved control
functions and lower operating cost.
·
In line
with the Procurement & Logistics Action Plan, prepared and obtained
approval on a proposal for organizational restructuring of UNRWA’s Procurement
& Logistics Division. The proposal aimed at improving accountability, the
procurement process, internal customer services and general contract
management.
·
In line
with the Procurement & Logistics Action plan, prepared and submitted for
external donor funding a detailed and multi level training program for UNRWA’s
Procurement & Logistics staff covering a period of three years and at an
estimated cost of US$ 320,000.00.
·
Reviewed
and updated UNRWA’s approved supplier’s files. Improved hereunder the
prequalification criteria for suppliers as well as the supplier’s appraisal and
performance evaluation system. As a result, the average response rate so far to
UNRWA’s International tenders have increased from a low of 35% to approximately
70% as well as achieving a 50% reduction in outstanding orders.
·
Identified
and established simple and clear Key Performance Indicators (KPI) for the
Procurement & Logistics Division.
·
Sub
grouped the list of approved suppliers in order to match closely UNRWA’s groups
of Pharmaceutical and medical supplies inventory items and the international
manufacturing market, thereby avoiding too many contracts through Traders, as
had previously been the case.
·
Subsequent
to this, tendered for and established Long Term (three years) Call-Off Purchase
agreements for Pharmaceuticals and medical supplies. So far, 25 Purchase
Agreements have been established at a total approximate value of US$
14,400,000.00.

hardware.

of basic commodities under UNRWA’s Emergency program in West bank and Gaza.
Approximately 60,000.00 metric tons have already been delivered and
distributed.
·
Due to
improved market researches, better supplier sourcing and timing of UNRWA’s tenders,
a saving of approximately US$ 12,000,000.00 on Flour and US$ 300,000.00 on red
lentils have been achieved in pricing over the last 2 years. In addition due to
better supplier sourcing, improved deliveries and closer coordination with
UNRWA’s Field of operations, approximately US$ 150,000.00 have been saved by
avoiding frequent stock outs of medical supplies with subsequent local
purchases.
