The study concludes that despite the effort made by the government through different organs such as PPRA by auditing and trainings respectively in order to improve international procurement performances in Tanzania especially to the public sector still there is a need to address some challenges like shortage of funds and supporting facilities which have been observed as partly hindrance factors toward international procurement performances specifically to parastatal organizations in Tanzania. Also the study recommend that, the government should play a key role to provide much support to the procurement department including providing trainings, enough financial resources and ensuring the availability of working tools to support international procurement activities.enFACTORSORGANIZATIONThesis
