Improvement of Public Procurement Systems in the Czech and Slovak Republics

Mission

Improve public procurement practices in the Czech and Slovak Republics

Goals

Procurement is one of the areas most vulnerable to corruption in the Czech and Slovak Republics. The main root causes for intransparent procurement are weak laws and a lack of oversight. The project’s objectives are to prepare a set of law amendments based on economic research and legal analyses of current weaknesses in the legal system. Furthermore, the project will aim at identifying potential loopholes and analyzing current practices of state oversight over procurement.

Key objectives:

  • Prepare a set of law amendments.
  • Conduct economic research and legal analyses.
  • Identify potential loopholes in the current system.
  • Analyze current practices of state oversight over procurement.

Stakeholders

The project was implemented by Oživení in cooperation with Transparency International Slovakia and the Economics Institute of the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, with funding from the Siemens Integrity Initiative.
