The Anticorruption Alliance will monitor the activities aimed at preventing and combating corruption carried out by the judiciary, Customs Service, Fiscal Service, the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Health and the Centre for Combating Corruption and Economic Crime. The monitoring projects will be implemented during 14 months, between January 2008 and February 2009. Mircea Esanu, representative of the Anticorruption Alliance, told a news conference on Wednesday that the monitoring activity is one of the priorities of the Threshold Country Programme “Strengthening the Monitoring Capacity of Civil Society and Mass Media” financed by the Millennium Challenge Corporation. The opinion polls, interviews, studies of public institution’s documents and press materials will be used as monitoring instruments. The monitoring will aim at objectively assessing the transparency and capacities of public institutions to prevent corruption, propose legal and institutional recommendations and solutions that would improve the administration. The Anticorruption Alliance also aims to assess the quality of the implementation of the Threshold Country Programme on the basis of which Moldova will receive further finance from the Millennium Challenge Corporation as part of the Compact Programme. The NGOs that are members of the Alliance will prepare monthly and quarterly reports on the monitoring process and will make recommendations for the relevant public authorities and the general public. The 250,000 USD monitoring project implemented by the Anticorruption Alliance is financed from the 24.7 million USD budget of the Threshold Country Programme. The Anticorruption Alliance brings together 30 Moldovan NGOs that work in different areas, especially public policy, law, democratic institutions. Among its members are Transparency International Moldova, Eurasia Foundation, ABA/CEELI, the Institute for Public Policy, the Human Rights Resource Centre (CReDO) and others.
