WHAT’S HAPPENING

How do you expose transnational corruption networks? In many regions, a surprising amount of data ...is already available, primed for some analysis and aggregation. That's what Balkan Corruption Insider is doing - aggregating data on public procurement, company registers and sanctions to identify hidden ownership structures, analyze procurement patterns and detect irregularities. The tool is being developed by one of the winning HackCorruption Balkans teams gathering in Tirana this weekend for an ideation boot camp.

Balkan Corruption Insider will also track sanctioned individuals and companies, making it a handy resource for governments, NGOs, and journalists. We're proud to be working with exceptional partners like Development Gateway and the Center for International Private Enterprise on HackCorruption to support new tools in the fight against fraud and corruption.

Green Funds Transparency is one of the successful transnational tools emerging from #HackCorruption... Balkans. The team is creating a platform that increases transparency and accountability of climate and environmental funding in Albania. They are one of five teams meeting our mentors in Tirana later this week for our HackCorruption Bootcamp!

The prototype is being developed in the wake of the European Union Anti-Fraud Office recently accusing the Albanian National Agency for Rural Development of squandering 33 million euros originally intended to assist struggling Albanian rural communities. The tool aims to prevent such misuse of funds and track new project outcomes.

AL is working with Development Gateway: An IREX Venture and the Center for International Private Enterprise on HackCorruption to refine and apply new technological solutions to systemic challenges of corruption. The program is supported by the U.S. Department of State: Bureau of Intl Narcotics & Law Enforcement (INL) and the USAID Countering Transnational Corruption Grand Challenge for Development.
