On 6 April 2012, Transparency International-Bulgaria officially presents its anti-corruption initiative aimed at establishing greater transparency and efficiency in the sphere of public procurement.

 

The initiative is implemented as part of Tl-Bulgaria project, financed by “Integrity Initiative” of the World bank and Siemens. The program commenced in July 2009 and aims to provide support to projects and organizations around the globe, working in the field of corruption prevention and counteraction in different areas of social and economic life.

 

The national chapter of the international anti-corruption organization Transparency International developed a Bulgarian Integrity Pact model, which is an innovative instrument for improving transparency and effectiveness in public funds expenditure through independent civil control.

 

The Integrity Pact is developed by Transparency International as a response to series of problems, related to corruption risk, as well as nontransparent and ineffective governance of public funds. It is a model, applied successfully in more than 15 countries around the globe with different levels of public and economic development and governance cultures.

 

The Bulgarian Integrity Pact model have been developed on the basis of the experience of Transparency International, the experience of Transparency International-Bulgaria in the subject area throughout the past ten years, alongside with the active work on legal-comparative analyses and sociological research, conducted by the organization since the start of the project.
