reform to enable: balanced accountability mechanisms between
the Government, citizens, and the private sector; governance
of risk management in the procurement cycle; and integration
of the public procurement system with the overall public
finance management, budgeting and service delivery
processes; provide a comparative analysis of the country’s
two parallel procurement systems (Government and State Owned
Enterprises (SOEs)), between each other and against MAPS
standards; and suggest recommendations to enhance the public
procurement system and jointly with the Government elaborate
an action plan for reforms to continuously enhance the
quality and performance of the procurement system; In
