The plan establishes ten objectives to be attained, several of which are closely linked to the efficiency and transparency of the procurement system, namely, fostering a competitive economy, reducing poverty, promoting civil society participation, promoting environmental sustainability, and promoting democracy through the legal and ethical exercise of power.

Second, the government intends to assess whether the procurement system is aligned with the administration's strategic objectives and, if not, what changes are required. 2012-06-13T15:33:46Z 2012-06-13T15:33:46Z 2007-11 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2007/11/10243779/mexico-federal-procurement-system-challenges-opportunities http://hdl.handle.net/10986/7911 English 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 Latin America & Caribbean Mexico
