Public procurement is where government money, power, and discretion converge. Accounting for one out of every three dollars spent by governments worldwide, with a total value exceeding USD 13 trillion, public procurement represents one of the largest areas of public expenditure and the number one corruption risk in government.
This session will showcase experiences where open data, risk-alert systems, and technology-driven tools have generated tangible impacts in public procurement processes and contributed to systemic change.
Successful cases from high-risk areas will be presented, highlighting concrete results as well as lessons learned and methodologies that can be replicated in other contexts.
