【 摘 要 】

The main objective of this 2004 CountryProcurement Assessment Report (CPAR) for Uganda is to updatethe 2001 CPAR, the basis for the ongoing procurementreforms, to incorporate lessons learned and the changingrole of donors in their fiduciary oversight resulting fromthe shift of focus from project lending to program lending.This updated CPAR covers the issues related to weaknesses inthe existing legal and institutional frameworks and capacitybuilding. The CPAR has identified four key areas theGovernment needs to focus on as a matter of priority toensure Uganda's procurement system achieves maximumpositive impact in promoting economy, efficiency,transparency and accountability. The four areas are :weaknesses in local government procurement; weak complianceand enforcement quandary; weak capacity dilemma; andapparent abdication by the Ministry of Finance of its policymaking and coordination roles in procurement. Addressingthese four issues will go a long way towards achieving thesecond generation procurement reforms proposed in this CPAR.
