The 2014 World Cup and the 2016 Olympic Games provided an opportunity to set an example in the fight against corruption and to ensure that resources invested in infrastructure are spent in a transparent and efficient way.

The project’s specific objectives were to raise the:

• level of transparency in public procurement and expenditure;
• integrity level of public-private sector relations and agreements;
• level of social control over public budget and expenditure.

The main activities are:

• the development of corporate self-regulation mechanisms through the establishment of Sector Agreements, a set of Local Administration Transparency Indicators applicable to the host cities of the events;
• a Local Administration Transparency Pact; social control mechanisms and instruments providing the society with tools to understand and follow public expenditure and contracts and to engage business;
• social mobilisation for the approval of a set of regulation bills fostering integrity and combating corruption.
