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 store procurement data publicly, requiring anonymous competitive auctions, and developing partnerships between government, civil society, and commercial platforms to oversee, monitor, and support the system. As a result of these reforms, Ukraine is estimated to save over $300 million annually in reduced corruption and increased competition, and ProZorro has grown 20 times in two years to include over 379,000 tenders from 18,000 companies. The success of Ukraine's public procurement reforms through ProZorro has led to
