Ukraine has transformed its public procurement system from one seen as synonymous with corruption to an e-procurement system considered one of the best in the world. Key reforms included establishing a central public database called ProZorro to enable online transactions and provide open access to tender data. ProZorro has driven transparency and competition, saving an estimated $300 million to date. It has grown rapidly through a collaborative partnership between government, civil society, and commercial platforms. ProZorro is now a globally recognized model and continues expanding its services like risk analysis tools and an online educational course.
