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.en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOABORTIONABUSEACCESS TO INFORMATION LAWACCOUNTABILITYACCOUNTABILITY MEASURESACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISMSACCOUNTINGACCOUNTING RECORDSADMINISTRATIVE SANCTIONSALLOCATION OF RESOURCESANTI CORRUPTIONANTI-CORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTIONANTICORRUPTION AGENCIESANTICORRUPTION MEASURESANTICORRUPTION REFORMANTICORRUPTION STRATEGYANTICORRUPTION WORKASSETSAUDITORBIDDINGBRIBEBRIBERYBRIBESBUDGET INFORMATIONBUDGET SYSTEMBUDGET TRANSPARENCYBUDGETARY ALLOCATIONBUREAUCRACYCENTRAL GOVERNMENTCITIZENCITIZEN PARTICIPATIONCITIZENSCIVIL PARTICIPATIONCIVIL SOCIETYCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONCIVIL SOCIETY ORGANIZATIONSCOALITIONSCOLLECTIVE ACTIONCOMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGYCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMPETITIVE BIDDINGCOMPLAINTCOMPLAINTSCONFIDENCECONFLICT OF INTERESTCONFLICTS OF INTERESTCONGRESSIONAL COMMITTEESCONSENSUSCORRUPTCRISESCRONIESDECENTRALIZATIONDECISION MAKINGDECISION MAKING PROCESSDECISION-MAKINGDECISION-MAKING PROCESSDECREESDEMOCRACYDEMOCRATIZATIONDISCLOSUREDISCLOSURE OF INFORMATIONDISCRETIONDISTRICTSECONOMIC GROWTHEMERGENCY CONTRACEPTIONEXECUTIONEXERCISESEXPENDITUREEXPENDITURE MANAGEMENTEXTORTIONFIGHTING CORRUPTIONFINANCIAL SERVICESFINANCIAL SUPPORTFREEDOM OF INFORMATIONFREEDOM OF INFORMATION LAWGOOD GOVERNANCEGOVERNANCE PROCESSESGOVERNANCE PROGRAMGOVERNMENT AGENCIESGOVERNMENT AGENCYGOVERNMENT EXPENDITURESGOVERNMENT INFORMATIONGOVERNMENT PERFORMANCEGOVERNMENT POLICIESGOVERNMENT PROGRAMSGOVERNMENT REVENUESGOVERNMENT SERVICESGOVERNMENT TRANSPARENCYGOVERNMENT TRUSTGOVERNMENT'S BUDGETGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATIONHEALTH CAREHEALTH SERVICESHOSPITALSHUMAN RIGHTSIMPROPER ADVANTAGEINCOMEINCOME DISTRIBUTIONINITIATIVEINSTITUTIONALIZATIONINTEGRITYINTERNATIONAL AGENCIESINTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENTINTERNATIONAL ORGANIZATIONSINTERVENTIONINVESTIGATIONINVESTIGATIONSLACK OF TRANSPARENCYLACK OF TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITYLAWSLAWYERSLEADERSHIPLEGAL FRAMEWORKLEGISLATORSLEGITIMACYLEVELS OF GOVERNMENTLOCAL AUTHORITIESLOCAL BODIESLOCAL COMMUNITIESLOCAL COMMUNITYLOCAL GOVERNMENTLOCAL GOVERNMENTSLOCAL MEDIALOCAL ORGANIZATIONSMARKETINGMEDIAMEDIA ORGANIZATIONMEDICINESMINISTERMINISTRY OF FINANCEMISAPPROPRIATED FUNDSMONITORING TOOLSMORTALITYMUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTSMUNICIPAL SERVICESMUNICIPALITYNATIONAL LEVELNATIONSPATIENTSPERFORMANCE STANDARDSPOLICEPOLICE FORCEPOLITICAL LEADERSHIPPOLITICAL PARTIESPOLITICIANSPOSTERSPREGNANCYPREGNANT WOMENPRIVATE SECTOR PARTICIPATIONPRIVATIZATIONPROCUREMENTPROCUREMENT POLICYPROCUREMENTSPUBLIC AFFAIRSPUBLIC CONTRACTSPUBLIC EXPENDITUREPUBLIC FINANCEPUBLIC FUNDSPUBLIC GOVERNANCEPUBLIC HEARINGSPUBLIC INFORMATIONPUBLIC OFFICIALSPUBLIC PROCUREMENTPUBLIC PROCUREMENT SYSTEMPUBLIC SECTORPUBLIC SERVICEPUBLIC SPENDINGREGULATORY AUTHORITYREGULATORY BODYREPRESENTATIVESRESEARCH PROGRAMSANCTIONSSCANDALSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL DEVELOPMENTSOCIAL POLICYSOCIAL PROBLEMSSTATE AGENCIESSTATE GOVERNMENTSTAX EVASIONTELEPHONE LINESTELEVISIONTRANSPARENCYVESTED INTERESTSWASTEWORKERSWorld Bank10.1596/12633
