Description:
The project supported Kosovo to improve the transparency and accountability of the municipal procurement process in all 38 municipalities. At the central level, the project worked with institutions that oversee public procurement, supervise municipal internal auditors, manage the municipal budgeting process, and oversee anti-corruption investigations. In addition, the project team built the capacity of civil society organizations to exercise citizen oversight municipal procurement in a watchdog role and to provide checks and balances by exposing corrupt practices and working with citizens and local governments as a partner in the process of procurement modernization. Building off that project, the Municipal Integrity Activity is working with central government oversight agencies, municipalities, and civil society, media, and private sector actors to advance reform in public procurement, with a renewed emphasis on budget planning, contract management, audit, integrity, and private sector engagement.
