Key Findings

The CNMP significantly contributed to strengthening the legal and regulatory framework for public procurement, including new decrees on beneficial ownership and revised thresholds.
Capacity building efforts were extensive, with 103 trainees completing public procurement training and 32 administration internships, alongside university partnerships.
Despite efforts, challenges persist in public procurement planning by contracting authorities and a disproportionate budget allocation towards imported supplies (53%) over local investment in works (22%).
The CNMP actively engaged in dispute prevention and management, and initiated audits of public markets, though some missions were incomplete due to national instability.
The institution faced budgetary constraints, necessitating external funding and contributions from the Primature to cover operational needs for the 2021-2022 fiscal year.

Full Description

The National Commission for Public Procurement (CNMP) presents its annual report for the 2021-2022 fiscal year, outlining its mission to regulate and control Haiti's public procurement system. The report details significant progress in evolving the legal and regulatory framework, including the adoption of new decrees to enhance transparency, such as the obligation to identify beneficial owners, and revised thresholds for public procurement. It also highlights the CNMP's role in preventing and managing disputes, conducting audits, and overseeing public procurement processes both a priori and through follow-up missions. Furthermore, the report emphasizes extensive capacity-building efforts, including training programs for public officials, university students, and economic operators, as well as the establishment of departmental commissions to extend its reach. Despite a challenging socio-political and economic context, marked by an insufficient operational budget and external funding reliance, the CNMP has made strides in promoting good governance and fighting corruption. However, the report acknowledges persistent issues, such as the limited planning of public markets by contracting authorities and a disproportionate allocation of funds towards imported supplies rather than local investment in works.
