About the project
Public Procurement and Logistics Observatory (PPLO) is a platform for monitoring procurement processes and promoting best practices, initiating a dialogue between relevant stakeholders. It will perform qualitative and quantitative analysis of procurement processes in the Kyrgyz Republic, and share them with government officials and citizens through this portal, and blogs, tweets, newsletters, seminars and training. PPLO will also monitor procurement processes, distribute innovative forms of the public procurement system, and defend the best procurement methods in the Kyrgyz Republic. All this promotes cost savings and improved procurement efficiency.
The vision for institutional strengthen public procurement
The Government of the Kyrgyz Republic ensured the establishment of a public procurement system, and further is making efforts to integrate into global supply chains. Mitigating or overcoming this challenge requires a significant enhance the capacity building of the public procurement system. Existing, various short-term workshops and training courses cannot solve this problem. Therefore, it is necessary to launch educational programs at universities for bachelor, master and doctorate in public procurement.
PPLO - development and establishment of criteria for improving the efficiency of public procurement

Together with students and professionals, we set the following tasks: improving public access to information and events in relation to current public procurement of their processes. Track changes in the procurement system and practices of the Kyrgyz Republic and analysis to improve interactions between all participants in the system government procurement.

Why I chose logistics
Logistics is the profession of the future I only recently found out about logistics. I didn't know what this profession was or what it involved. When I learned that logistics is about delivery, planning, and organization, I became genuinely interested. I didn't realize that there was a whole system behind the simple act of delivering goods, where everything had to be meticulously planned. Then I started learning more. I became curious about where logistics professionals work, what they do every day, and why this profession is considered important. I realized that a logistics professional is someone who holds significant influence. He must be able to plan, think through routes, monitor deliveries, and solve different situations. This is not just a job, but a responsibility and the ability to think quickly. The more I learned about it, the more I realized that this is what I want to do. There's no monotony in logistics; every day can be different. Sometimes you need to find the most efficient delivery route, and sometimes you have to solve problems when things don't go according to plan. I also like that logistics is all about movement. Everything around us—food, clothing, and technology—passes through the hands of logistics professionals. Without them, nothing would work the way it does today. Even when we order something online, there's a whole chain of people involved, with a logistics specialist at the center. Logistics is a profession of the future. The world is constantly evolving, with more online stores, faster delivery, and companies looking for skilled professionals. This field will continue to grow, as it is essential for any business to function effectively. I also appreciate that logistics offers opportunities for growth and development. It requires not only theoretical knowledge but also the ability to apply it in practical situations. It involves being attentive, calculating, analyzing, and making decisions. This teaches responsibility and self-reliance, which are valuable life skills. Logistics is not just a job, it's the ability to see the entire process from start to finish and anticipate how everything should work perfectly. I believe that this profession has a bright future, and so do I.

Why I chose logistics?
My name is Roman, and I came from Kazakhstan to study in Kyrgyzstan. From the very beginning, I wanted to choose a profession that would not only be interesting but also useful in the future. I thought long and hard about what I wanted to become and ultimately settled on logistics. This choice wasn't accidental—it was influenced by my brother and my personal interests. My brother lives in Bishkek and works as a service station manager. He's an experienced person with a good understanding of work organization and business processes. It was he who advised me to consider logistics. He told me that logistics is an important and modern field, essential for large companies. He explained that a logistician is responsible for the delivery of goods, choosing routes, and communicating with partners and suppliers. Their decisions determine how quickly and profitably a company can fulfill its objectives. After hearing his story, I knew I wanted to try my hand at this profession. I also really like that logistics is connected with the Chinese language. Today, China is a vast country with a rapidly developing economy, and many companies collaborate with Chinese partners. Knowledge of Chinese opens up great opportunities, as specialists who can communicate and work with Chinese are highly valued in the labor market. I believe that Chinese is prestigious, and speaking it is a real advantage. Therefore, I want to not only learn it but also use it in my future profession. I find the logistics profession interesting, modern, and promising. It requires responsibility, the ability to plan, analyze, and make decisions—all qualities I want to develop. I believe I've chosen the right path, and I hope that in the future I can become a professional who brings benefit not only to my company but also to the development of trade relations between Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and China.
