The Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA), with support from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), has developed, and will implement new procurement and contract management procedures to facilitate a more streamlined and efficient use of their resource pool, including disaster management funds.<\/p>\n

After conducting a routine assessment of its operations, geared toward the continual improvement of financial management practices, a number of recommendations for improving the Unit\u2019s procurement system were identified.\u00a0 Updating the existing procurement manual to address gaps related to procurement and contract management was among the suggestions.<\/p>\n

CDB\u2019s support included providing training and financing consultancy services to prepare a procurement and contract management manual that will act as a practical guide to CDEMA\u2019s staff.\u00a0 The new procurement and contract management framework was presented to participants from 13 of CDEMA\u2019s 18 Participating States on March 7 during a one-day workshop at the Bank.<\/p>\n

\u201cCDB agreed to assist in this undertaking, recognising the opportunity it will offer CEDMA to strengthen its fiduciary management, best realise value for money in its operations, and effectively deploy resources in preparation for and response to disasters that arise,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Douglas Fraser, Head, Procurement, CDB<\/strong>\u00a0told participants.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe commend CEDMA on this achievement.\u00a0 At the same time we recognise that this is only the start of the journey, as the next step will be to operationalise the new framework in day-to-day operations, which will naturally be a learning process for the staff, partners, and private sector providers of CEDMA,\u201d\u00a0<\/em>he said.<\/p>\n

During the workshop, officers from the Region\u2019s National Disaster Offices were trained in the new procedures, and tabled their queries about the new manual, which will apply to procurement undertaken within Participating States for future CDEMA CU projects and activities.<\/p>\n
