Market Readiness Analysis

Three items (i.e. items 1, 2, and 3, respectively ―Financial costs‖, ―Transactions‖,
and ―Salaries & additional services to employees‖) were eliminated given their
non-relevance to our study, although they represent about 70% of the annual
budget as per the Ministry of Finance.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that item 4 ―Other Establishments‖ is not
itemized in details but rather as a lump sum. After discussions with our sources,
it was revealed that these expenditures concern actions undertaken by the
Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) and therefore have to be
retained for this study.
Finally fuel expenses were omitted since they require the formulation and
implementation of a national policy.
3.5- Selection of expenditures
Among this preliminary list of 37 areas, those commanding more than 0.5% of
the market share were selected which led to 33 sectors retained.
We have grouped 3 experts for each priority depending on their respective field
of expertise in order to assess the level of risk associated with the procurement
of goods and services. The Total Risk Score will be given by adding the totals
given for each of the above themes. In fact this part consists on transforming the
6 government priorities into risk questions in order to have experts opinions each
in his/her field of expertise in order to obtain the risk expenditure that each
priority requires. The main objective is to calculate the number of ―Yes‖ each
expenditure category scores in order to create the final mapping (Table 5).
