HIV-RELATED PROCUREMENT DATASETS PREPROCESSING TO IMPROVE HIV-RELATED ADVOCACY WORK OF CIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONS

The objective of this study is to use government procurement open data to inform Civil Society Organizations (CSOs) of the best possible strategies to optimize, and maximize their advocacy work. In this paper, Layertech conducted pre-processing of the Department of Health Region 5 procurement datasets from 2016-2018, collected from the official Philippine Government E-Procurement System (PhilGEPS) repository. The visualizations and calculations showed average prices of HIV-related commodities, procurement categories, average procurement timelines and patterns, procurement allocation per province, which CSOs, represented by Gayon Bicol, may use to improve their crafting of proposal and monitoring of service delivery in their HIV-related grassroots advocacy work in the province of Albay. The data also showed late posting of Notice of Awards in PhilGEPS by approximately -16 days for the entire Department of Health (DOH) Region 5, and -108 days on HIV-related transactions, which is not within the compliance standards as stated in the Government Procurement Reform Act (GPRA) law, thus, a point for improvement for the agencies concerned.
