    <dct:description>&lt;p&gt;The purpose of the study was to assess of procurement challenges at Dire Dawa Administration Police Commission. The study was conducted to assess procurement process management, institutional procurement structure, institutional capacity and buyer supplier relationship and communication on procurement performance. Descriptive research design was used in executing the study, and quantitative and qualitative data was collected related with the extent of Dire Dawa Administration Police Commission procurement challenges using structured questionnaires. The targeted group of the study was administration staffs who are linked with the process, function and decision making of procurement. 60 samples are taken from administration staff. The sampling technique was purposive sampling. The study used both primary and secondary source of data to achieve its objective. To collect relevant data, structured questionnaire and personal interview was conducted. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result indicates that there is a limitation regarding the preparation of annual purchasing plan, description of specification, terms of reference and bill of quantity, long delivery time to receive items, lack of adequate and competent employees in the staff and absence of using e-procurement systems that reduce the problem of efficiency, effectiveness and value for money. The study recommended that the procurement department is advised to carry out periodic market research and prepare proactive procurement plan, and the procurement department is advised to use information technology tools like e procurement. Internal user section should describe their needs early and prepare clear specification, bill of quantity and terms of reference.&lt;/p&gt;</dct:description>
