🔍 Discover how hidden risks in procurement systems derail public services—and what can be done to fix them. IBP launched its groundbreaking interactive guide on Public Procurement: Common Risks and How to Address Them, a powerful new resource designed to help civil society organizations, donors, advocates, and anyone interested in understanding and addressing procurement failures that affect service delivery. 💰 Public procurement represents governments' single largest expense and highest corruption risk, making transparency and accountability in this process essential to ensuring public money reaches communities as intended. 📚 This comprehensive 90-minute webinar walked participants through the Guide's two powerful components. First, the PDF Guide—a practical manual that walks users through the nine phases of the procurement process, showing exactly what to look for, which documents to request, and how to spot where things go wrong, along with clear actions that can be taken to reduce risks that lead to service delivery failures. Second, Pro-Cure Bot—an innovative AI chatbot that helps users trace real-world service delivery problems like unfinished roads or medicine shortages back to the specific procurement phase where things went wrong. 🌍 Participants heard from practitioners working in Indonesia, Nigeria, and Senegal on how they were using these tools to analyze procurement risks and strengthen advocacy for better services. These real-world applications demonstrated how civil society can use procurement monitoring to connect budget decisions to community outcomes. A live demo of the chatbot allowed participants to test the tool in real time, explore its capabilities, and share valuable feedback on how the resource can best serve advocacy needs across different contexts. Whether you're tracking healthcare supply chains, monitoring infrastructure projects, or investigating education spending, this guide provides the framework and tools to hold governments accountable for procurement decisions. 🎯 Essential viewing for civil society advocates, procurement monitors, government accountability practitioners, donors, and anyone committed to ensuring public money translates into quality public services. 🔍 ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ✨ Explore More Resources ✨ 🔗 Download the Public Procurement Guide and try Pro-Cure Bot: https://internationalbudget.org/public-procurement-common-risks-and-how-to-address-them/ ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ About This Channel Welcome to the International Budget Partnership – your gateway to transparent, inclusive, and accountable public budgeting worldwide. 🌍✨ Discover the transformative power of fiscal transparency and embark on a journey toward democratic governance and social justice.
