Support Development Public Procurement Policy

closed

The general objective of the proposed program is to help develop and implement a national government procurement system that will reduce public spending, strengthen the legal security of government procurement, and ensure efficiency, transparency, open competition, and due process in government procurement. Its specific objectives are to: (i) modernize, standardize, and supplement the regulatory framework governing government procurement in Paraguay, so as to increase and improve business opportunities for the private sector as a supplier of public-sector goods, works, and services; (ii) strengthen the institutional capacity of the government agencies involved in procuring goods and services, including works; and (iii) increase the degree of citizen participation and improve internal and external oversight of public administration through the introduction of a public information system on government procurement.
