| Summary: | Due to the size of the country, the
Government of Dominica carries out limited amounts of
procurement, with the majority of capital investments being
financed by external sources. However, the domestic public
sector procurement system is inefficient and lacks
transparency posing a high fiduciary risk. The lack of
transparency itself is a major cause for inefficiency and
excess costs and has a significant negative impact on trade,
investment, and economic growth. This Country Procurement
Assessment Report includes stand-alone, short, and
medium-term recommendations which would enhance transparency
and efficiency in the domestic procurement environment
independently of the regional harmonization effort. However,
given the small size of Dominica's economy, limited
amount of procurement, and scarce human resources, real
economies of scales with respect to operational procurement
as well as overall capacity can be best achieved by framing
medium-term recommendations in terms of regional approaches. |
