Kyrgyz Republic - Public Procurement System Assessment : Using the OECD-DAC/World Bank MethodologyThis procurement assessment provides a basis whereby the Government of the Kyrgyz Republic (GOK) can formulate a capacity-building plan to improve its purchasing system; donors can devise strategies for assisting the capacity development plan and mitigate risks in individual operations that they decide to fund; and the country can monitor system performance and the success of reform initiatives in improving outcomes. It incorporates results from analyses of procurement legislation and feedback from various stakeholders in the procurement system, including government agencies, procuring entities, consultants, contractors, suppliers, and representatives of civil society. The Public Procurement Law (PPL) of the Kyrgyz Republic took effect on May 24, 2004. The PPL provides for a decentralized procurement system. All users of central and local budgetary funds are now responsible for conducting procurement in accordance with the standards of the new law. Since the December 2002 Country Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR), several significant developments have occurred in the public procurement system of the Kyrgyz Republic. In the new PPL, the government implemented the majority of the Bank's recommendations. Although the PPL clearly assigns the procurement oversight and support roles to the State Agency on Public Procurement and Materials Reserve (SAPPMR), the agency is unable to fulfill these roles efficiently and objectively. It lacks adequate capacity. The SAPPMR must review and verify the information contained in tender and contract award notices to ensure that the information is accurate and in compliance with the PPL. The SAPPMR provides little guidance to procuring entities to ensure effective PPL implementation.

Afghanistan - Country Procurement Assessment : Consulting ServicesAfghanistan is striving to emerge from a
 prolonged period of military occupation, wars and the
 Taliban rule. The country's security situation remains
 critical, especially outside of Kabul, yet the economy is
 stable and continues to grow. In the reconstruction process
 the country is receiving extensive donor support. Taking
 into consideration the World Bank's country assistance
 strategy, this report examines whether Afghanistan's
 Public Administration (PA) has access to the services it
 needs from international and national consultants under Bank
 and Afghan procurement rules. Both, the Bank's
 selection procedures and the Government of Afghanistan (GoA)
 policy, laws, rules of procedure, and practices are examined
 to determine whether they (1) lead to efficient consulting
 contract awards; and (2) support the development of local
 consulting firms. The demand and supply of international and
 domestic consulting services are assessed. In addition, this
 assessment identifies the key constraints that hamper the
 evolution of the domestic consulting sector. Suggestions are
 provided on what the GoA and the Bank could do to create an
 environment suitable for (1) qualified international
 consultants; and (2) the development of sustainable local
 consulting capacity necessary to help Afghanistan to
 implement its reform programs.
