HOAP Joint Audit Review of Procurement Tanzania 9th June 2006
Importance of procurement 3 Ministries NAO Donors Donor Working Groups PCB PPRA PCA GGCU BACKGROUND
FRAMEWORK, INSTITUTIONS & CAPACITY • Donor action has resulted in an improved framework • Reforms represent clear improvement • Lack of capacity has prevented full potential from being realised
COMPLIANCE (1 of 2) • Regulatory Authority and Appeals Authority created, but yet to exercise their statutory powers • Compliance with key provisions of new procurement legislation in ministries visited appears strong • Clear enthusiasm to comply with new legislation • Overall compliance picture is unclear • NAO recognition that procurement deserves particular attention • PAF indicator specifically examining compliance reflects the subject's importance
COMPLIANCE (2 of 2) Recommendations: • Clarify boundaries between responsibilities of NAO and PPRA (and MoF) • Assess work performed by the external auditors
VALUE FOR MONEY (1 of 2) • NAO has recently commenced detailed VFM work, although it is yet to perform any specific procurement-related VFM work • No donor-monitored indicator concerning VFM (PEFAR recommendation that a means of measuring and enhancing VFM performance should be developed)
VALUE FOR MONEY (2 of 2) Recommendations • Indicator measure progress in VFM • Update the $300m figure • Perception indicators in corruption
OVERALL PICTURE • "Tremendous Progress" yet lower grade awarded in PEFAR assessment • High level of cooperation among donors • Highly process-orientated Recommendations: • Improve consistency between and amongst tools used for measurement and capacity-building. • Accommodate economy, efficiency and effectiveness considerations
