The level of transparency in administering public affairs and the quality of the services provided by the mayors’ offices in nine localities of Moldova will be assessed. The monitoring will be carried out as part of a project launched by the League for the Defense of Human Rights of Moldova (LADOM), Info-Prim Neo reports. The monitoring project will be implemented in the districts of Orhei, Cahul, and Soroca. Nine monitors, three jurists and three councilors from the mentioned districts have been already instructed by LADOM experts. The project “Public Monitoring of Transparency in Local Decision Making. Public Money – where does it come from and where does it go?” aims to reveal the way in which the public property is managed and to identify the risks of corruption in local public institutions. LADOM will monitor how the local councils make decisions and how these decisions are implemented. The League will also supervise the utilization and administration of the human and financial resources (endowments from the state, collected taxes) at the local level. Also, the experts of LADOM aim to identify the corruption practices in the local administration. A set of recommendations for the local authorities concerning the improvement of transparency and integrity in local public administration will be worked out on the basis of the research. The recommendations will take the shape of a strategy for improving integrity at local level. The project is implemented as part of the Strengthening Civil Society Monitoring Capacity in Moldova Program financed by the U.S. Government through the Millennium Challenge Corporation and administered by the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
