On May 18-19, CLDP, in collaboration with the Dominican National Commission for the Defense of Competition (ProCompetencia), conducted a technical session to strengthen the legal and administrative frameworks for competition in the country. Focusing on gaps and challenges in the form and application of the current law, the session identified the key elements needed for a more effective competition law and areas for improvement to be addressed through new policies, strengthened investigative and enforcement capacities, and improved interagency collaboration. This session was conducted as part of CLDP’s USAID-funded technical assistance effort to improve ProCompetencia’s capacity to detect, investigate, and prosecute anti-competitive conduct in the public procurement system.
