インフラ援助の調達における効率性について Procurement efficiency for infrastructure projects and financial needs reassessed |
| 概要： (Abstract) |
Infrastructure is the engine for economic growth. The international donor community has spent about 70?100 billion U.S. dollars on infrastructure development in developing countries every year. However, it is arguable whether these financial resources are used efficiently. Without doubt a key is competition in public procurement systems. We analyze procurement data from multi- and bi-lateral official development assistance for the main infrastructure sectors, i.e., roads, electricity, and water and sanitation. It is found that the competition effect may be underutilized in some areas. To take full advantage of competition, at least seven bidders are needed in the road and water sectors, while three may be enough in the power sector. It is also shown that not only competition but also auction design, especially lot division, is crucial for containing procurement costs. Based on the estimated efficient unit cost of infrastructure procurement, the financial needs are reassessed. By promoting competition, the developing world might be able to save at most 7.6 percent of total annual infrastructure development costs. To strengthen competition, joint bidding practices involving local firms are partially useful, and it is of particular importance to invite new potential contractors to the procurement process and not to concentrate on a certain closed set of bidders. |
