Public procurement accounts for one-third of government spending around the world, and can be a powerful lever to advance open government goals and improve social outcomes. In this session, we will discuss how open contracting reforms have helped both governments and CSOs deliver tangible results to reduce corruption, increase economic inclusion, implement sustainable practices, enable civic participation, and drive digital transformation. You will hear directly from inspiring reform leaders, and have the opportunity to dive deeper into these key outcome and opportunity areas (including how to address common challenges). Join us on the pathway to creating real impact through public procurement, and walk away with concrete, best practice guidance and strategies to achieve your goals.
