Team of 2 National Consultants in IT Systems Analysis and Computer and Network Infrastructure for national forensic institutionsVacancy Number: Pr16/01458
Contacts: Mr. Alexei Ghertescu. Background
The justice system in Moldova is perceived to be weak by its citizens. The weakness in the justice system is partly due to reduced independence of the judiciary in practice, as well as to the reduced efficiency of courts, characterized by insufficient training and awareness in applying international and European law, inadequate skills, and insufficient self-regulating mechanism. There is also the reduced independence and capacities of pre-trial investigation and prosecution bodies, as well as other actors, including lawyers, bailiffs, probation officers, police and other security personnel, and poor adaptation to the needs and rights of children below the age of 18 in contact with the law. Major improvements are required in coordination of the implementation and monitoring of the justice sector reform, setting up a more efficient legal aid mechanism and putting in place effective - institutional and procedural - tools for preventing and fighting corruption.[1] The Justice Sector Reform Strategy for 2011-2016 (adopted in November 2011) (hereinafter, the Justice Reform Strategy) is the main comprehensive document dealing with justice reform, with the key objective of strengthening the independence, accountability, impartiality, efficiency and transparency of justice system. The Strategy is accompanied by an Action Plan (adopted in February 2012) which outlines strategic directions, actions to be carried out and preliminary implementation costs. UNDP developed and implemented so far under the Support to Justice Sector Reform framework a series of interventions focused on supporting the justice sector reform initiatives in Moldova, based on the needs of various actors in charge of particular chapters from the Justice Reform Strategy and beyond. Activities 2.3.1 and 2.3.3 of the Strategy provides for the implementation of modern methods of criminal investigation and persecution (including informational technologies, modern forensic expertise, etc.), capacities improvement and re-evaluation of the place and role of forensic expertise centres and forensic experts. Thus, the Justice Reform Strategy recognizes the role and importance of forensic expertise within the justice reform. Besides the Justice Sector Reform Strategy the improvement the capacities of forensic expertise centres is recognised as one of the objective in the newly approved Police Development Strategy for 2016-2020 (see the Expected Results in Objective 3). Current systems of forensic expertise are outdated and inefficient: each centre has its own system of records, while the possibilities for interfacing and exchanging data are limited. The traditional methods based on paper workflow cannot ensure fast processing of data and case management, efficient communication between relevant institutions, and transparent process of forensic investigations. To address these deficiencies a number of activities meant to change the current situation, including: standardising the procedures for collecting and analysing the forensic data related to investigations on specific criminal cases, modernizing the statistical data collection, implementing a functional electronic system of keeping records, etc. The automation of the forensic investigation processes, creation of e-platforms for their management and their inter-connectivity with other electronic case management systems is one of the solutions proposed to achieve the goals mentioned above. This solution would allow integrating separate uncoordinated forensic investigations into joint coordinated processes. It will bring uniformity in all forensic investigations performed by various institutions, will provide access to joint databases. The work under this programme component will particularly target the development of electronic tools for the registration, record keeping and management of forensic investigations related data to ensure a unified approach to all investigations performed by various forensic centres, exclude duplication, overlapping or circulation and use of divergent data, increase efficiency of communications between various institutions ensure transparency in the investigations, etc. The main beneficiaries of the aforementioned process will be 3 national institutions and their territorial subdivisions (hereinafter referred to as Beneficiary Institutions):
