Extensive need for wartime and post-war reconstruction and recovery in Ukraine significantly increases the importance of efficient and transparent public procurement as well as effective instruments of control and oversight. As leading expert anti-corruption NGO in Ukraine, that developed and transferred to the state the electronic procurement system Prozorro, Transparency International Ukraine in cooperation with its partner NGO Civil Control Platform will monitor legislative initiatives in the sphere, advocate for policy improvement and develop effective approaches to monitoring and control over public procurement and reconstruction projects within the project. Having extensive experience with establishing the DOZORRO monitoring ecosystem, TI Ukraine will form a network of CSOs and experts and build their capacity through education and financial support. Within the project, TI Ukraine will also further develop unique user-friendly analytic tool BI Prozorro with 24/7 online access that enables analysis of open data from Prozorro system free of charge and integrate it with Digital Restoration Ecosystem for Accountable Management (DREAM).
