Abstract
Procurement monitoring is a relatively
new field for civic engagement. This paper is a collection
of eight selected cases studies which aim to provide
examples of practices that have emerged globally in recent
years. The objective is not to offer 'blueprints'
or ready-made solutions to the challenge of civic
monitoring, but rather to highlight some of the broader
complexities underpinning the successful development of new
approaches. The cases studies are designed to explore how
different mechanisms of civic engagement are forged within
specific social and political contexts, and, more
importantly, how the nature of such engagement changes over
time. In particular, the studies focus on understanding the
driving forces behind the process as it evolved the impact
of the intervention, and the potential for replication at
greater scale. While each case study can be viewed as a
'standalone' example, it is also important to
emphasize the value of the collection in terms of developing
the discussion of common principles of civic engagement in procurement.
