Gabon Launches Administrative Reforms and Supply Chain Initiatives

The Gabonese government is implementing two major initiatives to modernize public management and address the cost of living, including a new digital human resources system and a call for private sector logistics partners.

Key points

• The Centrale d’Achat du Gabon (CEAG) issued a call for interest to private firms in importation, distribution, and logistics to help stabilize the cost of essential goods.
• The Ministry of the Public Service is deploying the Système Intégré de Gestion des Ressources Humaines de l’État (SIGRH) to modernize human resources management and improve data reliability.
• Interested partners for the CEAG initiative must submit applications by May 30, 2026, to gain official status as an approved partner.
• The SIGRH project aims to centralize administrative processes, including recruitment and career management, to reduce bureaucratic inefficiencies.

Why it matters

These reforms represent a strategic effort by the Gabonese state to regain control over its administrative machinery and improve economic resilience against inflation.
