Summary
The Project Watchdog function in public procurement consisted in raising BiH citizens' awareness in regards with irregularities within the public procurement process.
Results
• Help strengthen and articulate citizen's demands in such a way that public pressure would become effective, in order to push BiH authorities to react and take concrete measures to improve transparency within the public procurement process.
To this end, 12 seminars were organised. Representatives of Bosnia and Herzegovina at all levels were involved, as well as public and private enterprises, and the media – special attention was given to the Draft Law on Public Procurement.
33 public debates were held and helped raise students' awareness about corruption and also gave them the opportunity to discuss misuses of public procurement.
• A systematic analysis of the tender documentation published in the BiH Official Gazette was conducted. Alleged irregularities were documented and a press release was sent to the media and the Public Procurement Agency. Broadly speaking, the media's interest in this topic has increased.
• 42 amendments to the Draft Law on Public Procurement were prepared and presented to representatives of all 13 parties.
