Tumblr on Open Contracting in Mongolia
In June 2011, the Government of Mongolia amended the Public Procurement Law of Mongolia (PPLM) to include a new formal role for civil society and professional organizations in bid evaluation and contract monitoring. In many ways, this amendment places Mongolia at the forefront of open contracting - i.e. contract transparency and monitoring.
Civil society organizations have now formed a network, the Partnership for Public Procurement, to promote civil society participation and monitoring of public procurement in Mongolia.
This Tumblr will try to document the procurement opportunities and challenges that Mongolia faces especially with regards to civil society participation.
