High Level Reporting Mechanism for the Safety in Roads and Highways project

Mission

Prevent corruption in public tenders related to major infrastructure projects in Argentina

Goals

Argentina launched its first High Level Reporting Mechanism (HLRM) in January 2018. In the pilot phase launched in April 2018, it applied to public-private partnership (PPP) contracts under a National Highways Directorate (Dirección Nacional de Vialidad, DNV) project to develop 7,500 km of new highways and safe routes.

Stakeholders

The Argentine HLRM is located under the Secretary for Public Ethics, Transparency, and Fight Against Corruption within the Anti-Corruption Office overseen by the President.

Activities

The 12-year road infrastructure project involved a total expenditure of USD 35 billion, with around USD 12 billion spent during the first phase alone (2015–2019). The first round of contracts were awarded in July 2018.
