Russian speakers now have the chance to find out how to put sustainable public procurement into practice by using the Procura⁺ Manual. Procura⁺ is an initiative that supports public authorities in implementing sustainable procurement and then promotes their achievements.

The Campaign was established in 2004 by ICLEI, and allows public authorities to contribute to a growing international movement and help bring about real change on the market. With versions in English, German, Catalan, Greek, Croatian, French and Italian, the Manual is now also available in Russian.

A newsletter outlining how to download and best use the Manual will be disseminated among the municipalities of the Ukrainian Network for Local Environmental Sustainability. In Nikolaev (Ukraine), where the translation is based, the translation has been used for the sustainable procurement of energy saving equipment. The Manual will also be used for step by step guidance in other sustainable procurement activities.
