Abstract: The World Bank Institute Open Government Practice (WBIOG) provides cutting-edge knowledge and capacity building opportunities to practitioners in the public and private sectors and civil society in developing countries. This work focuses on some of the most challenging areas of governance reform, including procurement, areas where success could have transformational impacts on the lives of the poor. Organizations around the world face a common challenge to promote the documentation and sharing of experiences for further learning. Efforts offering powerful insights into the drivers of reform are frequently not documented because practitioners lack the tools, incentives, channels or support to share their work. At the same time, those experiences that are documented remain fragmented, and the opportunity for peer-to-peer connections around that knowledge is limited. To address this and similar challenges, the World Bank Institute (WBI) seeks to adopt new approaches to identifying experiences, knowledge and good practices. With this in mind, the WBIOG Procurement Program designed the procurement innovation challenge as an innovative crowdsourcing mechanism to identify and highlight evidence of new approaches, processes, initiatives, policies or tools that have led to effective procurement reforms or better performing systems.
