- Works contracts dominated externally financed markets by value (76.92%) and emergency law markets (92.5%), despite furnishings being numerically higher in CNMP-validated contracts.
- The CNMP faced challenges in fully implementing public procurement reforms, including delays in publishing standard documents and operationalizing planned training programs due to funding issues.

Full Description
The 2010-2011 annual report of the National Commission for Public Procurement (CNMP) offers an overview of its operations and the state of public procurement in Haiti during a challenging period. The fiscal year was heavily influenced by political instability, including delayed elections and government formation, as well as the lingering effects of the January 2010 earthquake. Despite these obstacles, the CNMP worked to normalize its functions, control public contracts, and advance reforms. A significant portion of contracts were processed under emergency law, often bypassing standard CNMP validation, leading to concerns about transparency and adherence to regulations.
The report details the CNMP's efforts to finalize public procurement regulations, develop standard documents, and collect data on both treasury-funded and externally financed contracts. It also outlines planned capacity-building initiatives, including training programs for ministerial and specialized public procurement commissions, which were largely delayed due to funding and logistical issues. The CNMP participated in international meetings to discuss aid effectiveness and public procurement reforms, advocating for increased resources to strengthen national systems. The report concludes with perspectives for 2011-2012, emphasizing the continuation of planned activities to enhance public procurement governance.
