| Summary: | The present report comprises the
findings of both missions conducted to complete stage one of
the assessment. It is structured along the following lines.
Chapter one presents a summary analysis of the overall
Public Financial Management (PFM) environment in which
Ghana's public procurement system operates as based on
the existing External Review of Public Financial Management
(ERPFM), Public Expenditure and Financial Accountability
(PEFA) and other PFM reports. Chapter two summarizes
previous assessments of status of reforms to public
procurement in Ghana. This includes the country's
Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR) with the status
of its action plan, as well as the recommendations and
actions taken based on the 2007 External Review of Public
Financial Management (ERPFM) Joint Assessment of the
national procurement system. Chapter three reviews the
government's public procurement reform strategy.
Chapter four presents the detailed findings of the country
level procurement systems assessment, using the OECD-DAC
(Organization for Economic Co-operation and
Development-Development Assistance Committee) methodology
for assessment of national procurement systems, that
consists of a system of 4 pillars and 54 sub-indicators, and
a scoring system of zero (0) to three (3). Chapter four
concludes with a summary of scoring comparing the scores
assessed to the minimum scores required as detailed in the
document 'use of country procurement systems in
Bank-supported operations: piloting program', released
for disclosure on June 19, 2008. Chapter five presents a
series of institutional strengthening and reform issues
(action plan) required to achieve the mandatory scores
needed to advance to the next stages for the piloting
program. The action plan is broken down into issues,
mitigation measures (actions), entity responsible, status of
Government's comments, date to complete action, and
cost estimated for action. |
