WHAT’S HAPPENING
💡 Introducing a new AI tool to strengthen integrity in public contracting!
Together with Development Gateway, we are excited to launch a new AI-powered contract summary and analysis tool through the HackCorruption program, designed to help journalists, civil society, and the private sector ...detect red flags in procurement processes.
This open-source AI solution automates key parts of the data analysis process, identifies trends, and sheds light on the often opaque procedures of public contracting. By making procurement data more timely and accessible, the tool aims to strengthen transparency, heighten accountability, and ensure good governance in public contracting.
This matters because public procurement is one of the largest areas of government spending, accounting for nearly a third of budgets globally - approximately $10 trillion per year. Yet, despite the enormous volume of taxpayer dollars involved, procurement data remains difficult to access and even harder to analyze, contributing to an estimated 20–25% of spending lost to corruption globally, and even higher in some regions.
