National Industrial Participation (NIP) Programme Clause Samples

The National Industrial Participation (NIP) Programme clause requires parties to support or comply with government initiatives aimed at promoting local industry development and economic participation. Typically, this clause obligates suppliers or contractors, especially in large-scale or government contracts, to invest in local businesses, transfer technology, or create employment opportunities as part of their contractual obligations. Its core function is to ensure that significant procurements contribute to national economic growth and industrial capacity, addressing the need for local benefits from major projects or foreign investments.
