After two decades of experience, this report reviews the experiences of working with this tool as a learning process in order to help further improve and strengthen the tool and broaden its application into the future.\n\nThis review assesses the design and implementation of Integrity Pacts according to their effectiveness and impact, sustainability, and flexibility and replicability. The review prioritizes Integrity Pacts in the EU Member States and aims to identify how the model can be carried out efficiently and best adapted to various contexts and needs.",[20],"English",[],[],{"id":24,"title":25,"slug":26,"image":27,"type":28,"date_published":30,"publisher":31,"summary":6,"body":32,"area":6,"programme":6,"languages":33,"countries":34,"tags":35},2057,"Learning Review: Transparency International's Integrity Pacts for Public Procurement","learning-review-transparency-internationals-integrity-pacts-public-procurement","539457f8-a0a6-4a1c-8b91-45abde84a739",[15,29],"Guidelines","2015-01-01","Basel Institute on Governance","This Learning Review was the first comprehensive analysis of experiences with Integrity Pact implementation in over 20 countries over two decades.\n\nThe main findings confirm that Integrity Pacts:\n\n\n- Bring value as a corruption prevention mechanism in procurement, particularly in specific procurement processes;\n- Do not contribute to delays or add significant costs to procurement; but rather\n- Promote a level playing field among private sector competitors; and\n- Can contribute to cost savings and increased trust in public procurement.\n\n\nIt identifies the following key factors that contribute to an Integrity Pact’s success:\n\n\n- Political will of the contracting authority to use the Integrity Pact to its full extent to reduce corruption;\n- Maximum transparency at every step;\n- External independent monitoring to verify that Integrity Pact obligations are fulfilled;\n\n\n\n- Monitors with expertise in the relevant industry and anti-corruption compliance and integrity;\n- Including the monitor from the design phase of a tender through contract execution;\n- Effective communication channels between the monitor(s) and all parties to an Integrity Pact;\n- Defining a clear process for identification, reporting and escalation of potential integrity issues through dispute resolution or sanctions from the outset.\n\n\nFinally, it offers additional recommendations to improve the management and effectiveness of Integrity Pacts:\n\n\n- Tenders that apply Integrity Pacts should benefit from a thorough needs assessment and analysis of contextual corruption risks. This can set the baseline for an increased focus on data collection and monitoring and evaluation of the impact and benefits of using an Integrity Pact to monitor procurement.\n- Lessons learned from a one-off use of an Integrity Pact in a tender should be seized to promote systemic improvements and reforms to public procurement in each context.\n- Best practice sharing and on individual experiences with Integrity Pacts among anti-corruption and procurement experts should be enhanced.\n\n\nThe report applied a rigorous research methodology, canvassing nine review questions and gathering evidence from Integrity Pact practitioners and stakeholders through extensive desk research of relevant materials, a survey, interviews, and two on-site missions (in Mexico and India).\n\nLearn more about Integrity Pacts on the Basel Institute’s 2020 \u003Ca href=\"\u002Fnode\u002F1526\">Integrity Pact resource site\u003C\u002Fa>.
