Country Sampling for CPI Stakeholder involvement/Validation Procurement Capacity Development (CD) Plan based on assessmentresultsPhilippinesThe Philippines haveadvanced the CPImeasurement system for useat the agency level. 10 keypublic procurement entitieshave been benchmarkedapplying AgencyProcurement PerformanceIndicators (APPI). The APPItool is used to assess andcompare the effectiveness ofa government agency’sprocurement system againstthat of the nationalprocurement system using28 baseline standards andindicators based on the BLIsystem. The results of theindependent evaluation of 10agencies were utilized tosupport the findings of theBLI assessment.A second assessment usingthe suggested CPIs iscurrently being undertakenby the Transparency andAccountability Network(TAN), a civil societyorganisation.Development partners, civil society andprivate sector actively participated fromplanning to final review of results.The Philippines have agreed on an Action Plan (the “Canyon WoodAgreement”) that includes proposed actions from the BLI assessment as wellas recommendations from various CPAR studies and activities. In total, 27actions are outlined.High risk areas were identified such as: There are no established norms at the national level for record keepingand document retention for the conduct of procurement audits or forinvestigating and prosecuting cases of procurement related fraud andcorruption. To ensure that this issue is addressed, the Proposed CapacityDevelopment Plan will include a program for the establishment of policiesand procedures for records keeping and management for procurement,contract and financial management related transactions for governmentagencies. The absence of an administrative complaint review body to handle appealsthat has full authority and independence for resolution of complaints. Thereis no independent administrative body or special court established toreview procurement related complaints and appeals outside of the courts.The GPPB and the CPAR Working Group agreed that a review of policies andprocedures for procurement related complaints and appeals will be conductedwith the following options: (a) to study the best practices of other countries; (b)possible creation of an independent administrative review body; (c) tapping ofan existing administrative body with the appropriate mandate; or (d) review ofthe reasonableness of the amount of protest fee. Medium and Low Risk Areasare also addressed in the very comprehensive Proposed ProcurementCapacity Development Plan which indicates: key result area; recommended action/measure;and on an action/measure base: BLI Indicator; specific weaknesses; responsible entity; funding source; schedule;76 COMPENDIUM OF COUNTRY EXAMPLES AND LESSONS LEARNED […] - © OECD 2008
