OAS and CAF present the publication “Sub-regional diagnosis of public procurement system data”
The Organization of American States (OAS), as the Technical Secretariat of the Inter-American Government Procurement Network (RICG), in partnership with CAF—development bank of Latin America—, presents the publication entitled “Sub-regional diagnosis of public procurement system data,” carried out with the technical support of the School of Government of Colombia’s University of The Andes, as part of the activities implemented within the framework of the cooperation project “Prevention of corruption through transparency and data analytics in public procurement systems.”
This publication analyzes and determines the level of quality, structure and reusability of the data produced by national public procurement systems of four countries in the region: Colombia, Ecuador, Panama and Paraguay. It also identifies the potential of public procurement datasets to develop corruption risk analysis methodologies.
The Director of the Department for Effective Public Management at the OAS, María Fernanda Trigo, highlighted the “relevance of the analysis carried out in the publication, as it allows to align institutional efforts and make recommendations to strengthen national public procurement systems as a highly relevant contribution in the fight against corruption, thus meeting the mandates of the ‘Lima Commitment: Democratic governance against corruption,’ approved at the 2018 Summit of the Americas.”
CAF Director of Digital Innovation of the State Carlos Santiso noted that “the main purpose of the diagnosis is to serve as a reference document for the other countries of the region, publicizing tools that aim to enable access to new data-based technologies to improve process management, evaluate procurement behavior, help conduct effective monitoring of public spending and prevent corruption risks.”
