MDBs in Myanmar: risk regulators on complex infrastructure projects?

Transforming procurement systems, one prototype at a time (Blog). “For this project, [Open Ownership] has built on Bluetail, a prototype system that uses [beneficial ownership (BO)], procurement, and politically exposed person (PEP) data to automatically flag corruption risks in tenders. The aim for this project is to understand the benefits of using these prototypes in our target countries, whilst making the case for the standardisation of BO data.”
