Workshop on the Strengthened Approach to Supporting PFM Reform PFM Performance MeasurementFramework And Procurement Pamela Bigart World Bank
Why Include 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
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
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!
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
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
