Abstract
The main objective of this 2004 Country
Procurement Assessment Report (CPAR) for Uganda is to update
the 2001 CPAR, the basis for the ongoing procurement
reforms, to incorporate lessons learned and the changing
role of donors in their fiduciary oversight resulting from
the shift of focus from project lending to program lending.
This updated CPAR covers the issues related to weaknesses in
the existing legal and institutional frameworks and capacity
building. The CPAR has identified four key areas the
Government needs to focus on as a matter of priority to
ensure Uganda's procurement system achieves maximum
positive impact in promoting economy, efficiency,
transparency and accountability. The four areas are :
weaknesses in local government procurement; weak compliance
and enforcement quandary; weak capacity dilemma; and
apparent abdication by the Ministry of Finance of its policy
making and coordination roles in procurement. Addressing
these four issues will go a long way towards achieving the
second generation procurement reforms proposed in this CPAR.
