Procurement is particularly vulnerable to corruption through unfair competition and collusion. Couched in technical language and complex regulatory frameworks, public procurement processes appear opaque to civil society organizations (CSOs) who could provide a much-needed check on the power of corrupt companies and authorities. As part of its CSO Procurement Monitoring program, PTF trains CSOs to identify and expose corruption and waste plaguing public procurement; and supports them in constructively engaging with sympathetic authorities to find solutions.
