| Summary: | SOL is the Portuguese acronym for
Online Bidding Solution (Solução Online de Licitação). SOL
is a GovTech solution for community-level procurements
carried out under community-driven development (CDD)
projects, and it addresses the procurement challenges that
the communities usually face. Piloting SOL in selected
projects in Brazil showed the app’s potential to increase
the efficiency, transparency, and governance of the
procurement process. The app facilitates the connection
between community associations and their suppliers and
automates the full procurement process. In addition, as all
procurement data is generated and safely stored in the app,
the app enhances the audit capacity of governments and the
World Bank. Given the many positive results, SOL is to be
upgraded with new features and translated into other
languages to facilitate scale-up and use by other countries,
including in Latin America and the Caribbean. |
