“When it comes to basic services, many residents don’t even know where to start.” 🧭 Across communities, people are asking: Where is this service being provided? Why has it stopped for weeks? Who can we contact? As Reuben Baatjies, Consultant with International Budget Partnership, puts it during our webinar on 'New Guide on Public Procurement',: “Many residents don’t know where to start. What if there was a tool that could be our guide in all things public procurement? That is where Pro-Cure Bot came in.” Pro-Cure Bot was created to help communities, advocates and journalists navigate public procurement and ask better questions about how public contracts affect everyday services. #OpenBudgets #PublicProcurement #ProcurementBot

“When procurement fails, basic services suffer.” 🚰🚮 In South Africa’s informal settlements, around 10 million residents depend on outsourced service providers, hired through public procurement, for water, sanitation and refuse removal. As partners working in these communities have found: “Many of the challenges associated with delivery of these services are actually the result of the risks that occur during the public procurement phase.” Carlene van der Westhuizen, Research Manager, International Budget Partnership South Africa Getting procurement right isn’t a technical detail — it’s the foundation for dignified living conditions. #OpenBudgets #PublicProcurement #ProcurementBot

“When information is missing, accountability is weakened.” 🔍 At our webinar on 'New Guide on Public Procurement', Jide Bamgbose of Accountability Lab Nigeria highlighted a core challenge: “We noticed that there is a problem with access to information about procurement. Most of the information was grossly missing or incomplete. We could not track the information.” Without timely, complete procurement data, citizens and watchdogs can’t follow the money or ask the right questions. #OpenBudgets #PublicProcurement #ProcurementBot

“Kenya’s mid-2025 fiscal reality shows a widening gap between promises and action. Revenue targets keep sliding while spending climbsa clear disconnect in the fiscal framework. Despite outlining austerity measures,

Important analysis from @IPF_Kenya 👏. Kenya’s new NDC talks up adaptation — but funds it less. Until governments match climate finance promises with action, ambition remains empty rhetoric. #ClimateFinance #Accountability #ACS2 @jmlakin @jkinuthia08 @RuthKendagor1
