Second Additional Financing to Public Procurement Reform Project II

Development Objective

The Project Development Objective (PDO) is to improve performance of the public procurement system progressively in Bangladesh, focusing largely on the target agencies. The PDO would be achieved by strengthening the ongoing reform process and moving it further along with the following outputs: (i) enhanced capacity in creating a sustained program to develop skilled procurement professionals, (ii) strengthened management and monitoring of procurement in target agencies, (iii) introduction of e-government procurement in CPTU and the target agencies on a pilot basis, and (iv) creation of greater public awareness of a well functioning public procurement system by engaging civil society, think tanks, beneficiaries, and the private sector. All these actions are key elements in effective implementation of the procurement law/ regulations.
