SUMMARY:Online training - Investigating the health sector: red flags in public procurement and public spending
DESCRIPTION:Corruption Watch in collaboration with the Open Contracting Partnership (OCP) is inviting journalists to participate in our training on open contracting as a tool for transparency and accountability in governance. Given the wide-spread corruption in Covid-related procurement that has been identified by the media\, this is an appropriate time to discuss greater transparency and accountability in the context of government procurement. \n\n\n\n\nThe workshop is aimed at introducing the concept of open contracting and building an understanding of the use of procurement data for anti-corruption\, red flag monitoring\, and investigative journalism. We also aim to provide guidance on how to use data tools and resources for the analysis of procurement data. \n\n\n\nParticipants will be walked through an introduction to open contracting\, its principles\, key concepts\, and implementation. We will also cover the contracting process\, context\, and history of open contracting and the Open Contracting Data Standard\, the problems it was developed to address\, use cases\, and finding the data. \n\n\n\nIn addition\, we will provide training on how to use our red flags methodology to show how you can reference procurement data against a set of over 150 suspicious behaviour indicators\, or “red flags” and how this fits into your investigative storytelling. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlease join us as we discuss this important issue\, where the media can continue to play its vital role in ensuring accountability for government corruption. \n\n\n\n\nRegister here
