Reflection: A Year of Procurement Oversight

Closing out a year of work, IPW reflects on what monitoring, community training, and plain-language explainers achieved — and where public attention made the most difference. The recurring lesson, the organisation says, is that transparency only becomes accountability when someone reads the data and asks a question. IPW thanks the citizens, journalists, and partners who did exactly that, and sets its focus for the year ahead on earlier-stage oversight and clearer public tools.
