Full Description
This annual report from the National Commission for Public Procurement (CNMP) covers the fiscal year 2014-2015, outlining the Commission's achievements in its mission of regulating and controlling public procurement in Haiti. It details the total public expenditure for the year, approximately 8 billion Gourdes, and presents the activities undertaken for the reform of the public procurement system, including communication and training efforts.
