The simulation models the interactions between different public and private actors within the framework of a procurement process carried out by a local government. Each actor, bounded by a specific set of functions, responsibilities, and interests, engages, negotiates, and reaches agreements based on the incentives generated by the institutional context. The outcome of these interactions, as well as the decisions made by each actor, determine the result of the simulation.
During the simulation, the participants experiment the network of incentives and ethical dilemmas that shape interactions among various actors involved in a procurement process, and recreate the complex dynamics at the core of integrity-sensitive decision-making processes.
Project Goals
Provide the participants with tools to
- analyze their local governance context, identifying areas of increased risk of corruption, lack of transparency and weak accountability.
- make effective use of already implemented transparency measures in their municipalities, enabling them to translate the access to information into an actionable tool for change.
- organize, collaborate, and create solutions, building collective action to counter corruption in their communities.
Target Group(s)
The workshops are addressed to members of civil society organizations and journalists, as well as civil servants working in all tiers of government.
Planned Outcomes/Achievements
As a result of the project, participants will be equipped with analytical tools to assess their local governance context and identify areas of elevated corruption risk, limited transparency, and weak accountability. Furthermore, participants will develop the skills to organize, collaborate, and design joint solutions, fostering collective action to prevent and counter corruption within their communities.
