We’re developing a Hungarian database and a network map that makes political decisions of public bodies on various alternatives of law-making, granting public procurements, tenders, privatization procedures and EU funds searchable, analyzable and transparent.

Sándor Léderer holds an MA in international studies and is a co-founder of K-Monitor Institute. Sándor graduated from Corvinus University Budapest in 2006 after which he immediately started working with K-Monitor. The association was founded as a „watchdog” organization with the aim of drawing constant attention to issues of corruption in Hungary. K-Monitor seeks to bring a new level of transparency in the field of governance for the purpose of fostering democracy and the rule of law. The association has created a website that makes all the corruption-related articles of online Hungarian media accessible, searchable and analyzable. The database is permanently updated with new articles and archive information as well. K-Monitor also has a whistleblowing blog and the association takes part in several researches. Sándor has started his PhD in History at Eötvös Loránd University Budapest in 2009 and was a member of College of Social Sciences between 2002 and 2004. He’s fluent in English and German.
