Chapter 8 from Public Financial Management in Latin America : The Key to Efficiency and Transparency by the Inter-American Development Bank.
In recent years, the countries of Latin America have embraced reforms in public financial management and have made many important advances-however, many challenges remain. This book brings together IMF and IDB staff and representatives from 16 governments in the region to document these reforms, and to examine the experiences and lessons learned. It is a valuable resource for those looking at issues in public financial management.
Many MENA countries have been recently engaged in improving their public procurement systems, including by modernising their procurement policies and institutional frameworks, developing guidelines and building procurement professional capacity.
This report was published by the The MENA-OECD network.
Following the 2008 economic crisis it is increasingly important for governments across the globe to explore the most effective means of using limited resources to kick-start economic growth. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have a distinct role to play in economic development as they provide a disproportionate share of gross and net new jobs.
This report explores the possibilities for supporting and encouraging SMEs in developing countries, with a specific focus on Egypt, through the public procurement market. The report presents the major challenges facing SMEs’ entry to this potentially lucrative market; and a series of examples and best practices is analysed to show how improving transparency might be used to tackle the identified difficulties.

How can governments and the private sector apply digital technologies to enhance transparency and integrity? This report looks at examples of digital solutions that contribute to better governance in African countries.
Two fields of applications are the focus of this report: public procurement, company registries and payments. In these areas, technological innovation can be applied to empower citizens, build trust in the integrity of processes, cut red tape and reduce corruption risks.
The report examines two country case studies in more detail: first, it looks at Kenya, which introduced electronic procurement in 2014 and is seen as a global innovation leader in mobile payments. Second, the report covers Ghana, where the Alliance for Integrity has promoted a business-driven, multi-stakeholder approach seeking to improve transparency and integrity in the economic system, and where the government has committed to open up public contracting.
The findings of this report are based on desk research and 18 interviews conducted with representatives of the private sector, government bodies, donors, think tanks and civil society activists in Nairobi and Accra in November 2017
Examples of national pharmaceutical procurement and supply chain institutions were identified through rapid search and input from experts. Institutions identified were largely from Africa. Up-to-date details of the governance of these institutions was not easy to find within the scope of this work. The resources in the annotated bibliography of this report include grey literature and media articles to give some information where strong evidence in this area is lacking. This overview highlights some of the findings on institutions from different countries.
The purpose of this report by Development Gateway is to support scoping studies on open contracting in West Africa and to identify potential British interests and priorities in the region.

This paper looks specifically at international (and especially British) company interests in these five markets. They analysed third party surveys and indices of the corruption environment, especially around public procurement, and have conducted our own interviews of 17 companies with a long-term commitment to, and knowledge of, these markets.
