Advocating for open contracting:
How to make the case for more sustainable, equitable, transparent public procurement

As governments around the world come under pressure to deliver more with the same or fewer resources in a fragmented world, public procurement has become more critical than ever to everything from supply chain security to climate and development finance to acquiring AI and other advanced technologies.
