Abstract
An active civil society organization is the realm of organized social life that is voluntary, self-generating, self-supporting, autonomous from the state and bound by the legal order or set of shared values. It serves to check the excesses of government and its officials in power, human rights violation and monitoring of the application of constitutional provisions like transparent public procurement procedures. This paper advocates that an active civil society organization should insist on transparent public procurement procedures with regular audits by external parties. It recommends that procurement rules should minimize secrecy, guarantee access to information, ensure that bidding documents, procedures, evaluations and awards are publicly and timely available. In that way, regulatory institutions are strengthened and emerging democracies evolve to yield rewarding and sustainable dividends.
