Implemented projects

The project includes mapping the key corruption risks in COVID-19 related public tenders through in-depth monitoring of tenders and conducting public policy dialogue aimed at improving procurement process and narrowing the room for corruption. Two semi-annual monitoring reports (for January-June 2021 and July-December 2021) and an overview report for all COVID-19 related procurement for 2020-2021 along with an open database will be produced, and the dialogue for public policy will cover at least 50 institutions and will result in policy document and strong media pressure for improvement.

The overall objective of the action is to strengthen impact of civil society’s monitoring of public spending towards attainment of transparent and effective public procurements according to citizens’ needs. The action anticipates capacity building for grass-root CSOs across the country and their active involvement in monitoring of public procurements and initiation of dialogue with public institutions aimed at improving state-of-affairs in this field. The specific objectives are: (1) active participation of CSOs in improving the legislation and introducing best practices in public procurements towards reduced corruption and enhanced effectiveness in public spending; (2) heightened understanding among stakeholders and the general public at national and local level about the need for greater transparency, accountability and integrity in public spending.
