Access to Government Procurement Opportunities (AGPO) is an initiative by the Government of Kenya designed to give youth, women, and persons with disabilities a fair chance to participate in public procurement. Through AGPO, registered groups and enterprises can directly access government tenders and contracts reserved for them, promoting inclusivity and empowering marginalized groups economically.
What is AGPO?
AGPO is a government program that reserves 30% of all public procurement opportunities for youth, women, and persons with disabilities (PWDs). The aim is to encourage entrepreneurship, reduce unemployment, and ensure that historically underrepresented groups benefit from government spending.
Benefits of AGPO Registration
Registering under AGPO comes with several advantages:
- Direct access to government tenders and contracts.
- Increased visibility and credibility for your business.
- Opportunities for growth and networking within government supply chains.
- Contribution to national economic empowerment and inclusivity.
