Have the procurement and services that were paid for, been worth the dollars spent? What challenges does the government face in improving its procurement and contract practices or improving its accountability on spending?

The year 2020 taught us a lot. We became candid and openly vulnerable among our peers. While bearing enormous stress, we came together, came up with more new ideas, and tried new things than ever before.
