CLDP, in collaboration with the DR’s public procurement authority, the General Directorate for Public Contracting (DGCP), organized a two-day workshop on best practices in due diligence tools in the procurement system. CLDP shared best practices and practical tools, such as market research, to mitigate non-performance and integrity risks from government contracts. CLDP will also be working with the DGCP on the development of an institutional resource on due diligence best practices to optimize the DR’s existing due diligence mechanisms making them more thorough and efficient to enhance accountability and integrity and reduce project delays. This workshop is part of CLDP’s multi-phase, USAID-funded project to assist the DR in improving the transparency and effectiveness of its public procurement system.
