26. Recommendations.. Immediate actions on Public Procurement Systems In order to improve the performance of the development budget, Timing of PER process needs to be fixed and observed to feed into, rather than conflict with budget preparation, Where preparatory studies are necessary, need to be conducted early enough Improved Record Keeping to solve the problem of lack of information’ which associated with ‘poor record keeping’.
