Deadline: 5 July 2019
UNDP Moldova’s Project “Curbing Corruption Through Building Sustainable Integrity in Moldova” in partnership with the National Anticorruption Center (NAC) has launched a Call for proposals for the “Small Grants Program – Monitoring the National Integrity and Anticorruption Strategy (NIAS) by developing alternative reports of monitoring sectorial and local anticorruption action plans”.
The goal of the project, Curbing corruption through building sustainable integrity in Moldova” is to contribute to achieving a sustainable integrity and anticorruption system in the Republic of Moldova through the strengthened capacities of the public and private sector entities and the civil society for the efficient application and monitoring of national integrity instruments and standards. The project will enhance capacities of the public and private sector actors, as well as of the Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) for the implementation of effective corruption prevention instruments and tools and will strengthen the anticorruption demand side through an increased public awareness on anticorruption and on the means to curb corruption. It will contribute to the progressive implementation of the Sustainable Development Goal 16 that calls for a substantial reduction of corruption and bribery in all their forms and for developing effective, accountable and transparent institutions at all levels.
The Project is framed around the National Integrity and Anticorruption Strategy (NIAS) 2017-2020 and responds to the needs of its various actors and stakeholders in addressing the challenges for the effective implementation of NIAS, including lack of mechanisms for enforcing integrity standards in private sector; and weak anticorruption demand-side explained by the limited awareness of men and women on the available anticorruption tools to be used and on the means of protection in the event of denunciation of corruption.
