# Co-creation of ProZorro: An account of the process and actors URL: https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/co-creation-of-prozorro-an-account-of-the-process-and-actors Type: Publication or report Published: 2017-04-04 Updated: 2020-04-03 --- 04 April 2017 The ProZorro platform (electronic procurement system) was initiated in Kyiv in May 2014 by a group of anti-corruption activists that focused on developing an electronic procurement platform for all Ukrainian public agencies. Their goal was to provide an accessible public procurement solution to reduce corruption in public procurement in Ukraine. The ProZorro platform was established on a pro bono basis and it was co-developed by a diverse group of stakeholders – including Transparency International Ukraine, the private sector and government champions. The ProZorro platform was launched and started piloting electronic bidding in February 2015. This case study seeks to assess how the multi-stakeholder co-creation approach affected the design and/or outcome of the e-procurement platform. In order to answer this question we conducted 17 in-depth interviews with activists, politicians, representatives of businesses and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), experts and software developers, all of whom actively participated in the creation of the new procurement system. ### Related publications ## [Regional Assessment of Integrity in Political Finance in South Asia, Southeast Asia and East Asia](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/integrity-political-finance-asia) Publication • 03 September 2026 This report reviews systems across 17 countries to identify the areas of political finance most in need of reform. ## [Annual Report 2025](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/annual-report-2025) Publication • 17 July 2026 In 2025, Transparency International pursued its mission to stop corruption and promote transparency, accountability and integrity at all levels and across all sectors of society. ## [Connecting the Dots: How financial intelligence units expose corrupt money flows and how they could do more](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/connecting-the-dots) Publication • 24 June 2026 Financial intelligence units can play a key role in uncovering corruption, but only if they have the powers, resources and access to information they need. ## [Whistleblowing Authorities in Europe: Roles, challenges and lessons learned](https://www.transparency.org/en/publications/whistleblowing-authorities-in-europe-roles-challenges-and-lessons-learned) Publication • 19 June 2026 This report examines the institutional design, mandates and functioning of national whistleblowing authorities across Europe. ## Priorities - [Public procurement](https://www.transparency.org/en/our-priorities/public-procurement) ## Countries - [Ukraine](https://www.transparency.org/en/countries/ukraine) ![](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2017_ProzorroCaseStudy_EN_116.jpg?auto=compress&fit=crop&fm=webp&w=1200) [Download](https://images.transparencycdn.org/images/2017_ProzorroCaseStudy_EN.pdf)
