Consultant on Parliament and Anti-Corruption EffortsVacancy Number: Pr16/01400
Ms. Victoria Muntean. victoria.muntean@undp.orgBackground
The goal of the UNDP “Strengthening Parliamentary Governance in Moldova” Project, further on referred to as the SPGM project, is designed to address the main needs of the Parliament of Moldova in the areas of legislation making, oversight and representation during the on-going process of domestic reform spurred by closer relations with the EU. The project is also assisting in making the Parliament’s legislative activity more open, transparent and participatory through establishing tools and mechanisms for the engagement with the Civil Society, professional associations and general public. Project interventions will offer and encourage equal opportunity for male and female participation. Corruption in Republic of Moldova is widespread, represents a sensitive issue and hinders country’s capacity to ensure democratic governance, rule of law capacity and bureaucratic efficiency, whilst creating ineffective institutions. According to Transparency International Corruption Perception Index (2016), Moldova is ranked 103rd (out of 168 countries worldwide). This makes Moldova one of the most corrupt countries in Europe. This perception is followed by the European Commission assessment that places Moldova’s political and economic development hampered by systemic and high level corruption. This means that there is an imminent need to develop effective mechanisms to tackle corruption stemming from international documents (UNCAC, SDG 16, EU acquis communautaire) and translate parliamentarian’s engagement in practical actions. In this context, UNDP SPGM project is seeking to hire a consultant to assist the Parliament of Moldova in enhancing its anti-corruption efforts. Scope of work
The expected output for the consultant’s assignment is to assist the Parliament of Moldova, its MPs and staff, in the implementation of anti-corruption efforts through different platforms – GOPAC Moldova chapter and Parliament’s Anti-corruption Action Plan. The consultant, in collaboration with the Parliament counterparts, will assist in creation of necessary mechanisms for monitoring the implementation of the Parliament’s Anti-corruption Action Plan. Members of the GOPAC Moldova will be supported to engage actively in anti-corruption issues. Moreover, the consultant will strengthen Parliament’s capacities to prevent corruption, with targeted improvements in the law-making work, executive oversight and budgetary control. Building on the achievements from 2015 and 2016, the consultant will assist the Parliament of Moldova in finalising the draft law on MPs Code of Conduct and Ethics based on best international practices and experience of national Parliaments in Europe.
