| Summary: | Balochistan is the largest province in
Pakistan, with 44 percent (347,000 sq. kms.) of the land
area but only 5 percent of the population (6.5 million). The
province is blessed with a large number of natural resources
which are to a great extent unexplored and unutilized. It
has an 1100-kilometer coastline which can prove to be an
important trade corridor in the region by connecting China
and Central Asian republics in the north to the sea in the
south and India, Bangladesh in the East. Economic
development is needed to deal with significant structural
problems both political and socio-economic. Under the
auspices of The World Bank, this intervention for assessing
the procurement systems of the provincial with the objective
of benchmarking the performance of procurement management
systems was embarked upon. This report covers the assessment
for the province of Balochistan undertaken in the month of
September 2006. This snapshot of procurement systems
performance assessment is mainly based on historical data
and current practices observed during the mission. |
