Part 2: Building and Maintaining Political Support for the Anti-Corruption Agenda and Open Data Tools.

Part 3: Open Data in Action, Enhancing Efficiency and Social Impact in Public Procurement

The aim of this webinar was to present open data initiatives that have thrived through a variety of ways, from endorsing 2 transformational policy commitments around certain areas such as public procurement and beneficial ownership, to building capacities of government officials, to disclosing and publishing diverse data sets and building on the supply side of the data.

The aim was also to discuss how such experiences can serve as good examples and might have a potential impact across the ongoing reforms in public procurement and beneficial ownership across the OSCE region.
