Oversight Must Start at the Planning Stage, Says IPW

According to IPW, the planning of goods and services procurement across nearly all government offices — particularly at the regional level — still suffers from insufficient oversight, a gap that certain parties exploit for personal gain. IPW argues that supervision starting from the initial planning phase is decisive in preventing collusion and corruption, and that reducing direct contact between providers and users through electronic transactions is essential. The organisation continues to push for transparent, accountable procurement as a core pillar of clean government.
