Resumen
Descripción
Good practices reduce costs and produce
timely results; poor practices lead to waste and delays and
are often the cause for allegations of corruption and
Government inefficiency. Enhanced transparency in
procurement through voluntary disclosure under the Right to
Information (RTI) Act (2005)' is one of the individual
components of the larger initiative undertaken by
Yashwantrao Academy of Development Administration (YASHADA)
under the national resource centre for social
accountability, and funded by the World Bank institute, New
Delhi. Sound public procurement policies and practices are
among the essential elements of good governance. The
objective of the study is to: study the current procurement
process; suggest measures to tackle the discrepancies by
developing mechanisms; and enhance social accountability and
transparency in the procurement process by focused
implementation of right to information as a tool. The
project takes into account the four pillar approach towards
public procurement which believes that unless all the
aspects of the function (i.e. efficiency, economy, fairness
and transparency) are taken care of, the overall impact will
not be evident. The focus of this project is mainly on
social accountability. Obviously the focus of the study is
on transparency and how by making the systems more
transparent the other aspects of fairness, efficiency and
economy can be pushed for reforming the procurement process.
