Full Description
The National Public Procurement Commission (CNMP) presents its annual report for the 2018-2019 fiscal year, outlining its regulatory and control activities amidst significant socio-political turbulence in Haiti. Despite these challenges, which included strikes and "pays lock" periods, the CNMP managed to effectively execute a substantial part of its action plan. Key achievements include the final validation of 77 public markets financed by the Public Treasury, amounting to over 7.6 billion gourdes, with a strong emphasis on competition, as 70% of these markets resulted from competitive bidding.
The report also details the CNMP's efforts in institutional strengthening, capacity building for public procurement actors, and improving market control. It highlights the under-submission of Annual Public Procurement Plans (PAPMPs) by public institutions, with only 12 plans received out of an expected higher number. Furthermore, the CNMP continued its work on information system development, including a new Public Procurement Information and Management System (SIGMAP) and an electronic archiving project. The document concludes by acknowledging ongoing challenges, such as delays in validating the strategic plan and the need for further reforms to enhance transparency and efficiency in public spending.
