Promoting Green Procurement Adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa: the Case of Uganda(Book Chapter)
The earth’s resources are depleting, consequently, researchers, policymakers and change agents have shown growing concern for going green. This is premised on the thinking that human activities are affecting the earth particularly its climate, polluting the water system and general loss of living creatures. With the aim of reducing conservational decay, the Uganda government has embarked on charging environmental tax, installation of solar electricity on almost all the municipality streets, banning procurement of used vehicles and including the eco-friendly aspect in the statement of works. Stemming from this viewpoint, this study examined green procurement adoption in Sub-Saharan Africa focussing on Uganda. The researchers used an interview guide to obtain data which was analysed qualitatively. The study collected qualitative data from 10 interviewees to appreciate the nature of green procurement adoption. It presents findings that have both strategy and decision-making implications that are presented.
