Bank Procurement PerspectiveBank Procurement Perspective
• Reviews and audits findings– Quality Asssurance arrangements in place
in Regions and generally sound– Some specific/specialized procurement
issues not always supported with appropriate guidance to staff
– Increased role of PSB– Regional variances but largely in line with
decentralization– Adequacy of controls to be addressed– Lack of clarity of roles of PSs vs TTLs in
Task Teams– Need to improve consistency in
implementation of post-reviews (conduct and follow-up)

Global financial crisis: new challenges, new approaches
Global financial crisis: new challenges, new approaches
Changing world and crisis require creative thinking to improve aid effectiveness (e.g. harmonization, UCS, anti-corruption initiatives)
While continuing discussion of pending issues (e.g. unbalanced clauses), focus should be on “big picture” items --possibly experiencing through pilots-- with potentially more meaningful & rewarding benefits
An even more inclusive dialogue: other stakeholders inside (e.g. other networks such as PREM on GAC, INT on F&C, ..) & outside the Bank (e.g. borrowers -pilots, civil society -governance)
