De La Espriella seeks to ease prior consultation bottleneck

In Colombia, the source describes a reform effort by the De La Espriella government to remove what it calls a bottleneck for investments. Prior consultation has affected energy, infrastructure, mining and hydrocarbons projects for years, according to the report. It is still a reform effort, not a contract notice. But if it changes how those processes run, suppliers tracking major schemes will care because project timing often decides when procurement becomes real.
