Dominican Republic Public Procurement & Government Transparency

CLDP has an interagency agreement with USAID/Dominican Republic to assist the national government in improving the countrys public procurement framework and processes, to be more effective, transparent, inclusive, and sustainable.

CLDP, in close cooperation with the GODR, conducts programming to identify legal and procedural gaps that undermine transparency, efficiency, or small business access in the procurement system and to develop strategies to address these gaps.

CLDP also conducts training programs for government personnel to ensure compliance with local procurement laws and regulations and to share U.S. and international best practices for increasing the level of transparency and competition in government tenders.

CLDP also organizes events and workshops to connect public and private sector stakeholders to improve communication between the government and industry and to improve the governments ability to conduct market research.
