OCP Strategy 2015 - 2018We open up public contracting through disclosure, data and engagement so that the huge sums of money involved are spent honestly, fairly, and effectively. Open contracting can save governments money and time, deliver better goods and services for citizens, prevent corruption, and create a better business environment for all. We do this by: * Creating a compelling learning and evidence base to show what open contracting can achieve. * Supporting a network of partners to deliver results on the ground and, where necessary, leading specific demonstration projects ourselves. * Smart, targeted advocacy to challenge vested interests and drive global change.Open Contracting PartnershipOCP_2f610130-19f1-11e6-af0d-08e6477ab66bGavin HaymanExecutive Director -- Until January 2015, Gavin was the Executive Director of Global Witness and before that he was the organisation’s Director of Campaigns since 2006.
