The e-GP Assessment was discussed individually with informed respondents in the public and private sectors, who provided advice or comment on the degree of readiness of nine key components related to e-GP: government leadership, human resource planning, procurement planning and management, procurement policy, procurement legislation and regulation, Internet and electronic infrastructure, standards, private sector integration, and current e-GP systems and initiatives. The assessment found: adequate evidence that Internet and electronic infrastructure are in place and supported, little evidence that government leadership, planning and management, procurement regulation, standards, private sector integration, or e-GP systems are in place and being supported; no evidence that human resource planning, procurement legislation, or procurement policy were in place. This report outlines a strategy to make ready and implement electronic government procurement policies, infrastructure, and initiatives.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCOUNTABILITIESACCOUNTABILITYADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSESADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTSADVERTISINGANTI CORRUPTIONAUCTIONSAUTHENTICATIONBASICBEST PRACTICEBEST PRACTICESBIDDINGBROADBANDBROWSERBUSINESS APPLICATIONBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONBUSINESS ASSOCIATIONSBUSINESS CONTINUITYBUSINESS MANAGERBUSINESS MODELBUSINESS SECTORBUSINESSESBUYERBUYERSCAPABILITIESCAPABILITYCAPACITY BUILDINGCAPACITY-BUILDINGCOLLUSIVE PRACTICESCOMMODITIESCOMMUNITY PORTALSCOMPLAINTSCOMPONENTSCOMPUTERIZATIONCONFIDENCECONFIDENTIALITYCONFLICT OF INTERESTCONNECTIVITYCONTRACT AWARDCONTRACT MANAGEMENTCORRUPTCORRUPT PRACTICESCORRUPTIONCPUDATA WAREHOUSEDELIVERY TIMESDIGITALDIGITAL CERTIFICATESDIGITAL SIGNATURESE- GOVERNMENTE-DOCUMENTATIONE-DOCUMENTSE-GOVERNMENTE-GOVERNMENT INITIATIVESE-LEARNINGE-MAILE-PROCUREMENTE-REVERSE AUCTIONSE-SERVICESE-SIGNATUREE-SIGNATURESE-TRANSACTIONSECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTELECTRONIC DOCUMENTELECTRONIC DOCUMENTSELECTRONIC FORMATELECTRONIC INFORMATIONELECTRONIC SIGNATUREELECTRONIC SIGNATURESELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONELECTRONIC SUBMISSIONSENTERPRISE ARCHITECTUREEVALUATION PROCESSEXTERNAL SERVICE PROVIDERFORMAL DOCUMENTATIONFRAMEWORK AGREEMENTFUNCTIONALITIESFUNCTIONALITYGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNMENT DECISIONGOVERNMENT ENTITIESGOVERNMENT EXPENDITUREGOVERNMENT NETWORKGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT PROCUREMENTGOVERNMENT SERVICEGOVERNMENT SERVICESHARDWAREHUMAN RESOURCEICTIMPLEMENTATION PLANIMPLEMENTATION PROCESSESIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGIESIMPLEMENTATION STRATEGYINFORMATION SECURITYINFORMATION SERVICESINFORMATION SYSTEMINFORMATION TECHNOLOGYINITIATIVEINSTALLATIONINTEGRITYINTERFACESINTERNATIONAL CONSULTANTINTERNATIONAL STANDARDSINTERNATIONAL TRADEIT INFRASTRUCTUREKIOSKSLEADERSHIPMANAGEMENT PROTOCOLSMANAGEMENT SYSTEMMANAGEMENT SYSTEMSMATERIALMEDIAMEDIUM ENTERPRISEMINISTERMINISTRY OF EDUCATIONMINISTRY OF FINANCENEW TECHNOLOGIESNEW TECHNOLOGYNORMALIZATIONONLINE ADVERTISINGONLINE REGISTRATIONONLINE SECURITYONLINE SERVICEONLINE TRAININGONLINE TRANSACTIONSOPEN ACCESSOPEN STANDARDOPEN STANDARDSOUTSOURCINGPDFPENALTYPILOT TESTINGPRINT VERSIONSPRIVATE SECTORPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATE SECTORSPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT ACTIVITIESPROCUREMENT CAPACITYPROCUREMENT EXPERIENCEPROCUREMENT EXPERTISEPROCUREMENT FUNCTIONPROCUREMENT ISSUESPROCUREMENT LAWPROCUREMENT LEGISLATIONPROCUREMENT MANUALPROCUREMENT METHODSPROCUREMENT OFFICIALSPROCUREMENT OPPORTUNITIESPROCUREMENT ORGANIZATIONPROCUREMENT PERFORMANCEPROCUREMENT PLANNINGPROCUREMENT POLICIESPROCUREMENT POLICYPROCUREMENT PROCESSPROCUREMENT PROCESSESPROCUREMENT REGULATIONPROCUREMENT SPECIALISTSPROCUREMENT SYSTEMSPROCUREMENT TRAININGPRODUCTIVITYPROTOCOLSPUBLICPUBLIC ACCESSPUBLIC ADMINISTRATIONPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT ENVIRONMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT PROCESSPUBLIC PROCUREMENT REFORMPUBLIC SECTOR PROCUREMENTPUBLIC TENDERSQUALITY MANAGEMENTREGISTERSREGISTRYRELIABILITYRESOURCE PLANNINGRESULTRESULTSSEARCHSEARCH FACILITIESSECURITY MANAGEMENTSERVICE DELIVERYSERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENTSERVICE PROVIDERSSITESSLASOFTWARE DEVELOPMENTSOFTWARE PACKAGESOFTWARE PROGRAMSTANDARDIZATIONSTANDARDIZATIONSSUPPLIERSSYSTEMS DEVELOPMENTTECHNICAL ISSUESTECHNICAL REQUIREMENTSTECHNICAL STAFFTECHNICAL SUPPORTTECHNOLOGICAL CAPABILITYTELECOMMUNICATIONSTIME PERIODTIME PERIODSTRANSACTIONTRANSACTION PROCESSINGTRANSMISSIONTRANSPARENCYTYPES OF CONTRACTSUSERUSER IDENTIFICATIONUSERSVIRUSWANWEBWEB SERVICESWEBSITEWEBSITESWORKFLOW MANAGEMENTWorld Bank10.1596/12304
