This report is divided into (a) an Executive Summary, (b) Main Report on Findings and Recommendations, and (c) Annexes. Since the preparation of the diagnostic study on Malawi's public procurement system in 1996, the Government has made good progress with establishing new - and relatively good - legal framework for procurement reform. But there has not yet been much reform (institutional, practical and oversight). In 2003, the Malawi Parliament passed a new procurement law, the Public Procurement Act of 2003, which became effective in August of that year. The new Procurement Act requires procurement regulations to provide, among things, thresholds for the use of the various procurement methods, bid and bid evaluation procedures and contract management. The analysis of the CPAR is carried out against the five basic pillars of a sound public procurement system, including: (i) a functioning legal, regulatory and institutional framework, (ii) use of modernized procurement procedures and practices; (iii) procurement proficiency of Government staff; (iv) independence of audits and recourse for complaints; and (v) inclusion of anti-corruption measures in the procurement law and application of effective sanctions. In addition, the CPAR analyses the performance of the private sector in public procurement and the procurement performance of Bank financed projects. The analysis has led to the recommendations made below, summarized in the Action Plan, to strengthen each pillar over time. Weaknesses in current procurement performance are identified as substantial delays in the procurement process, insufficient capacity, and inadequacies in procurement organization, documents and management. The continued reliance on the Interim Guidelines, which include a number of practices that are considered incompatible with internationally acceptable procurement standards, are also partially to blame for this. 2013-09-05T14:04:44Z 2013-09-05T14:04:44Z 2004-05-24 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2004/05/4098771/malawi-country-procurement-assessment-report-vol-1-3-main-findings-recommendations http://hdl.handle.net/10986/15643 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 Africa Malawi |

The Malawi Country Procurement
Assessment Report is a joint undertaking between the Malawi
Government and the World Bank to analyze the country
procurement system and recommend appropriate actions to
improve the efficiency, economy and transparency of the
system. This report is divided into (a) an Executive
Summary, (b) Main Report on Findings and Recommendations,
and (c) Annexes. Since the preparation of the diagnostic
study on Malawi's public procurement system in 1996,
the Government has made good progress with establishing new
- and relatively good - legal framework for procurement
reform. But there has not yet been much reform
(institutional, practical and oversight). In 2003, the
Malawi Parliament passed a new procurement law, the Public
Procurement Act of 2003, which became effective in August of
that year. The new Procurement Act requires procurement
regulations to provide, among things, thresholds for the use
of the various procurement methods, bid and bid evaluation
procedures and contract management. The analysis of the
CPAR is carried out against the five basic pillars of a
sound public procurement system, including: (i) a
functioning legal, regulatory and institutional framework,
(ii) use of modernized procurement procedures and practices;
(iii) procurement proficiency of Government staff; (iv)
independence of audits and recourse for complaints; and (v)
inclusion of anti-corruption measures in the procurement law
and application of effective sanctions. In addition, the
CPAR analyses the performance of the private sector in
public procurement and the procurement performance of Bank
financed projects. The analysis has led to the
recommendations made below, summarized in the Action Plan,
to strengthen each pillar over time. Weaknesses in current
procurement performance are identified as substantial delays
in the procurement process, insufficient capacity, and
inadequacies in procurement organization, documents and
management. The continued reliance on the Interim
Guidelines, which include a number of practices that are
considered incompatible with internationally acceptable
procurement standards, are also partially to blame for this. |
