Mission and programs · 2023

Mission

To enable one billion people to live in more equitable, prosperous and sustainable communities by helping partners across government, civil society and the private sector to design procurement reforms, build coalitions and co-create digital solutions, powered by open data.

Activities or mission (Part I)

Transforming public contracting through open data and smarter engagement.

  • Implementation & Infrastructure: We help governments with practical tools, resources and guidance on implementing open contracting at each step of the procurement reform process to get better reforms that stick. Through our in-country experts in all continents, we provide targeted and personalized support throughout the implementation journey towards more open, sustainable, and inclusive public procurement.

    Expenses $3,001,160

  • Data Products & Support Services: Through our data support team, we guide our community of government, civil society, and business experts to publish public contracting data and develop and use data analytics and monitoring tools to increase transparency, public oversight, efficiency, competition, and quality of service delivery in the government procurement market. Governments in over 30 countries are using the Open Contracting Data Standard (OCDS), a free, non-proprietary open data standard to publish data and documents at all stages of the contracting process.

    Expenses $1,332,162

  • Advocacy & Communications: Public contracts matter. We tell compelling stories by partners and reformers worldwide about their efforts to open up and reform public contracting, using videos and graphics to help inspire the next generation of reformers and advocates. We use advocacy and communications strategies to help our community to make the case for lasting, sustainable institutional change in how public procurement is done, including supporting advocacy.

    Expenses $654,797

  • Community Building & Research: Our global community of engaged and empowered partners in public procurement is at the heart of our operations. We bring them together and support them to connect and exchange ideas, and continuously produce resources based on best practice, research, and our experience working across sectors and locations.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. A Schedule J breakdown is as filed: base pay, bonus, other, deferred compensation and nontaxable benefits from this organization, with any from related organizations beside each, and the filer's own total. It is shown with the Part VII listing of the same name on the same return. The form gives no key between the two, so that pairing is ours, and is marked matched by us.
