  2. Procurement Elements of PFM Indicators • Dedicated indicator # 19 focuses on unique aspects of procurement system not captured in other indicators • Degree of Competition in system • Dispute Resolution to augment controls • Related indicators #4,10,12,20,21,24, 26 and 28 capture aspects of procurement performance

  3. Procurement Performance Measurement • OECD/DAC and World Bank Joint Procurement Roundtable developed detailed procurement benchmarking and measurement tools WHY? • To provide international standards and stop imposing individual donor standards • To facilitate integration of CPAR with the strengthened approach now to be applied for PFM

  4. Why Focus on Procurement? • 30 to 70% of budget expenditures are managed through the procurement system • Key area of interest for countries to increase efficiency of expenditure and improve service delivery • Key area of interest for donors to help manage risk of misuse of funds and to achieve development objectives

  5. A Quick Look at the Procurement Measurement Tool

  6. What is the Relationship? • PFM indicators can be applied without use of the detailed procurement tool • Procurement tool can support a more detailed assessment and contribute to the PFM indicators across range of related areas • Procurement tool can be applied on its own to support assessments and progress of reform initiatives and to support fiduciary requirements of donors

  7. Some Suggestions for Improving the Treatment of Procurement • A well integrated PEFA report should address aspects of the full system that contribute to the indicator being rated. A good practice example with regard to procurement is Armenia Integrated PFM report. • Why: Early involvement of all members of team to develop a shared understanding of the work • Created a mapping to show links and cross impact • Dealt with procurement as part of an integrated discussion for all indicators where procurement links to the topic under review. • Uses the narrative to build a complete picture. • Go well beyond indicator 19!
