The PFD online system covers the whole PFD process from initiation when contracts are awarded by various government entities to signing of the PFD Agreement to complying with the PFD Regulations process upto project management and local market development including monitoring and reporting.
About 30 participants from selected government entities and contractors participated in the pilot training sessions.
