Civil Society Key to Ensuring Integrity in Public Procurement
What role can civil society play in tackling corruption in public procurement, where governments and state-owned firms buy goods and services from the private sector? According to a recent report from the Organisation for Economic Development and Co-operation (OECD), civil society is a key actor for shedding light on the procurement process and monitoring its integrity. Civil society, as a third, independent party in the public procurement process significantly contributes to its credibility amongst stakeholders and the wider public.
The OECD’s publication - Integrity in public procurement: Good practice from A to Z- portrays numerous practical examples of measures that should be taken into account by governments when embracing anti-corruption strategies in public procurement. The contents of this publication received input from Transparency International’s advisors in public contracting.
