The UP programme aims to enhance the diversity of our supply base to ensure that the suppliers we work with share and reflect the values of the people and communities we serve.
The programme builds suppliers' capacity through awareness campaigns and by providing advice, support, guidelines and other resources, and free tailored online training tools.
In addition, it provides a platform through which we implement gender-responsive procurement and disability-responsive procurement.
In collaboration with local partners, the UP programme also includes UP Forums, which are virtual and in-person events aimed at strengthening national capacity and helping business owners to develop and grow.
