Country Procurement Assessment Report: Update
Identifies several emerging priorities including the perception of high cost of some works and goods, and the eligibility of Philippine firms to compete for internationally financed contracts. Significant progress has been made in implementing an electronic procurement system, but further development now needs to be pursued. The new rules and procedures need to be widely disseminated and training given to local governments, the private sector and civil society. The primary focus of the CPAR Update is to identify new activities to achieve these objectives including establishing partnerships and funding requirements for partnerships with international organizations, and to achieve better governance and better value for money.
