The strategic approach the report recommends is one of gradual improvement to the existing procurement regime by a set of actions that it assesses as feasible and practical.

The procurement law is deferred until action on the urgently needed reforms is completed. The report suggests converting the agreed recommendations to a detailed action plan identifying the required resources, sources of funding, specific time frame for each action, the type of technical assistance to be supplied by the World Bank and other international financial institutions, and encouraging donor coordination. 2013-07-01T19:53:28Z 2013-07-01T19:53:28Z 2002-05-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2002/05/1792432/bangladesh-country-procurement-assessment-report http://hdl.handle.net/10986/14323 English en_US CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank Washington, DC Economic & Sector Work :: Country Procurement Assessment (CPAR) Economic & Sector Work South Asia Bangladesh
