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.

What Logistics Means to Me
For me, logistics is not just a profession — it is an entire world where everything is interconnected. It is like a huge network of roads through which goods, information, and people move. Logistics helps all of this stay organized, move correctly, and arrive on time. I like that this field has a clear system, yet always requires thinking, analyzing, and searching for the best solution. I chose logistics because I am interested in understanding how the journey of any product is arranged — from the factory to the customer. We often do not even think about how much work stands behind something appearing on a store shelf. Someone plans transportation, calculates timing, handles documents, and ensures that everything arrives without mistakes. This is the work of a logistician — to make sure everything is accurate and punctual. Moreover, logistics is a profession of the future. The world is becoming increasingly global, and every country is connected to others through trade. I want to be part of this system, to participate in international processes, to work with different people and cultures. I am especially drawn to the opportunity to study and work in China — a country where logistics and trade are developed at the highest level. I believe that international logistics is the place where I can fully apply my knowledge and skills. Logistics also brings together many different fields: economics, mathematics, geography, technology, and even psychology. It is impossible to stay in one place here — you constantly have to grow, learn new programs, systems, and methods. In logistics, not only knowledge and planning skills matter, but also human qualities: responsibility, attentiveness, and communication. This field teaches you to think ahead, make decisions, and find order even in the most complex situations. For me, logistics is movement, connection, and development. It gives the opportunity to manage processes that make people’s lives easier and more convenient. I chose this field because I want to be part of the modern world, where so much depends on how well everything is organized. And I believe that I can become the kind of person who easily solves complex problems and contributes to making the world better.

Why I Chose Logistics
My name is Nurzhigit, I am 17 years old, and I am a first-year student at the Kyrgyz State Technical University named after Iskhak Razzakov. I study at the Faculty of Logistics. For me, choosing the logistics profession was not just a random decision, but a conscious step toward a future in which I want to realize my abilities, interests, and desire for growth. At school, my favorite subjects were mathematics and physical education. I liked math for its logic and precision, and P.E. because of football — and football, in turn, is about team spirit and movement. In my opinion, these are the qualities a logistician should have. After all, logistics is not only about transport and warehouses but also about the ability to calculate, organize, and make decisions in real time. After 9th grade, I enrolled in a college majoring in “Software for Computing Equipment and Automated Systems.” At that time, I thought IT was the perfect field for a career, since technology is developing rapidly. However, over time I realized that being a programmer is not really for me, because I am an extrovert. Even though I was interested in studying computers and technology, I felt that I lacked communication, dynamics, and hands-on activity. I understood that I wanted to do something more lively and diverse, where not only technology matters but also interaction with people. After finishing college, I started thinking about my future and about who I wanted to become. I decided to talk it over with my parents, sister, and brother. After our conversations, I identified a few possible directions, and one of them was logistics. That’s how I first became interested in logistics. When I learned more about what a logistician does, I realized — this is exactly what suits me. The modern world is impossible to imagine without logistics. Every product we see in a store goes through a long journey from the manufacturer to the customer. And it is logisticians who make this process accurate and uninterrupted. This profession is in demand all over the world, which means it offers broad opportunities for career growth, travel, and international cooperation. For me, logistics is not just a profession but a path that brings together everything that resonates with me: precision, movement, communication, and growth. I believe I have chosen the right direction, and with each day of studying, I become more and more convinced of it.
