We help our partners identify and collaborate with stakeholders to articulate their goals and develop implementation plans – from strengthening democratic institutions to expanding economic inclusion or strengthening sustainability and climate resilience. 

We help our partners build coalitions of change and make the case for open contracting. We communicate their story to build buy-in and show that change is possible. 

We support partners to improve data collection, validation, publication and usability to achieve their objectives. This work can include supporting implementation of the Open Contracting Data Standard. We support data use through capacity building and developing or adopting software solutions, such as business intelligence tools, AI, dashboards to monitor red flags, or tools using non-procurement data to inform procurement decision-making.

We plan to support around 100 compelling projects on the ground. We will work with government and civil society partners on promising, locally-owned reforms that bring together multi-stakeholder teams to achieve goals around strengthening democratic institutions, social inclusion, or environmental sustainability and resilience. With much hard work and adequate resources and incentives for change, we expect that many of these projects will improve outcomes from procurement, allowing us to work with partners to document progress and improved outcomes: a proof point that change is possible.

Every proof point can inspire other reforms and build our evidence for global advocacy on what works. As well as encouraging other local reforms, we can use these insights and evidence at the international level to decisively shift global norms around procurement reform. We will also invest in building, supporting, and documenting open source digital tools and methodologies to help future reformers go further, faster.
