Mechanism for Interaction between Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service and Civil Society Organizations in the Area of Public Procurement Monitoring
We aim to establish a mechanism for interaction to facilitate better collaboration between governmental and civil society organizations in combating corruption and enhancing transparency in public procurement. Through this mechanism, Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service will be able to actively engage with civil society organizations monitoring government acquisitions.
Key points
The tool will facilitate effective communication and collaboration between Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service and civil society organizations specializing in public procurement oversight. It will provide means for information sharing, feedback, and coordinated action.
The tool will be designed to maximize user-friendliness and optimize the efficiency of interactions between Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service and civil society organizations. It will feature an intuitive interface, quick access to information, data analytics functions, and report-generation capabilities.
The tool will be built upon the analysis and monitoring of government acquisitions in Kazakhstan. It will enable civil society organizations to keep tabs on procurement processes, identify potential corruption schemes, analyze data, and present their monitoring findings.
Strengthening transparency in public procurement and combating corruption will be a key focus. Through information sharing and joint efforts with civil society organizations, Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service will more effectively identify and mitigate instances of corruption in government acquisitions.
To ensure effective interaction and cooperation between Kazakhstan’s Anti-Corruption Service and civil society organizations in the field of public procurement monitoring, it will be necessary to develop and adopt legislative acts that establish the legal framework and mechanisms for such interaction.
