In Dubréka, Guinea, the Autorité de Régulation des Marchés Publics (ARMP) convened key actors in public procurement on October 16 and 17, 2026, to align on a strategic action plan for reforming public markets through 2031 and recommendations from the MAPS II assessment.
The two-day workshop brought together representatives from public institutions, ministries, and organizations involved in managing public contracts, as well as technical and financial partners, the private sector, and civil society.
This initiative supports the Guinean government’s efforts to increase transparency, efficiency, and good governance in the management of public funds. Prior to the workshop, General Amara Camara, Secretary General of the Presidency, met with procurement stakeholders and urged them to prioritize collaboration, synergy, and collective responsibility to achieve the necessary reforms. Almamy Sékou Camara, President of the ARMP’s Regulatory Council, emphasized the strategic importance of public procurement to public policy and socioeconomic development, stressing principles like transparency and fair competition.
Dr. Mohamed Diallo, Director General of the ARMP, explained that the workshop aimed to move beyond diagnosis and recommendations, developed with support from the World Bank’s MAPS II methodology in 2025, to implement concrete actions. The ARMP intends to build a shared strategic vision to guide the interventions of concerned institutions over the next five years, and participants worked in groups to refine proposals and identify priorities.
