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.

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 can confidently say that I chose the profession of a logistician myself. This choice was not accidental. Back in school, I thought about who I wanted to become and which profession to choose so that it would be interesting, in demand, and beneficial to society. After learning more about logistics, I realized that this was exactly the field in which I wanted to grow. Logistics is one of the most important sectors of the modern economy. It connects production, transportation, trade, and the management of goods and information flows. It is impossible to imagine modern society without logistics. It is logisticians who organize the movement of goods, monitor delivery deadlines, and ensure that everything happens on time and without interruptions. I have always been interested in how all of this works: how routes are planned, how goods from different countries end up on store shelves, and how delivery services operate. I enjoy analyzing, planning, and finding optimal solutions, which is why I believe this profession truly suits me. For me, logistics is a very promising profession. It is constantly evolving and changing along with the world. New technologies are emerging: automated warehouses, electronic cargo tracking systems, delivery drones, and even AI-powered logistics platforms. All of this makes the profession of a logistician modern, in demand, and interesting. I like that in this field you can constantly learn, grow, and move forward. In the future, I see myself working in this profession. I want to become a competent specialist who can organize processes, optimize routes, and find solutions in difficult situations. I understand that this path requires effort, knowledge, and experience, but I am ready to study and work in order to achieve success. I believe that logistics is the profession of the future because it will always be needed as long as production and trade exist. The world is constantly developing, the volume of transportation is growing, and the speed of goods and service exchange is increasing. This means logisticians will always be in demand. I am proud that I chose this profession. For me, logistics is not just a job but an opportunity to be part of something big and important. I am confident that I made the right choice and that in the future I will be able to fulfill myself in logistics. This choice was deliberate because I believe that logistics truly is the profession of the future. It is impossible to imagine the work of any enterprise, store, or online company without logistics. Thanks to logisticians, everything operates smoothly and efficiently: goods are delivered on time, production does not stop, and people receive everything they need. For me, logistics is a very promising profession because it develops every year, and new technologies and career opportunities appear. In the future, I see myself in this profession. I want to become a skilled specialist and work in a large company. I understand that the path will not be easy, but I am ready for it. Logistics is a profession that will always be in demand. I am proud of my choice and confident that I will be able to build a successful and interesting future in this field.

Why I chose logistics?
Choosing a profession is not just a step; it is perhaps one of the most responsible decisions that determines our future. As Confucius said: “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.” It was with this thought that I once realized that I wanted to connect my life with logistics. For many, logistics is just transportation and warehouses. But for me, it is the art of movement, the science of how to make the complex simple and the impossible possible. I have always been fascinated by the idea of how millions of goods cross countries and continents every day, how thanks to a clear plan and precise calculations the whole world is connected by invisible threads — routes, transport, decisions. I chose logistics because it combines everything that is close to me: analysis, strategy, responsibility, and dynamics. There is no place for boredom here — every day brings new tasks, new routes, new challenges. And in this, I see the true value of the profession. After all, logistics is not just the organization of processes; it is the management of time and space. In addition, I believe that logistics is a profession of the future. The world is changing rapidly, the economy is becoming increasingly global, and it is competent logisticians who allow this complex system to operate without interruptions. As Henry Ford said: “Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, working together is success.” This is especially felt in logistics, because the result always depends on teamwork, accuracy, and trust. When I think about my future, I see myself not just as a specialist but as a person who helps the world move forward. I want to be part of this system where every detail matters, where the speed of delivery, the client’s mood, and the company’s success may depend on my decision. This is a great responsibility, but it is precisely what gives meaning to my choice. My path in logistics is just beginning, but I already understand that this is not just a profession; it is a way of thinking, a striving for order in chaos, for efficiency in a world of endless movement. And if one day someone asks me why I chose logistics, I will answer simply — because I want the world to move, and I want to be a part of this movement.
