Project overview

Description of assignment
On Monday, 7 June 2021, President Maia Sandu issued a decree providing the legal basis for the establishment of the Independent Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee, henceforth to be known by its acronym in the Romanian language, CCIA (“Comitetul Consultativ Independent Anticoruptie”).
The CCIA has as its main purpose to analyse systemic issues of corruption that cut across Moldovan institutions, in the expectation that ways and means to improve anti-corruption efforts will be identified and implemented by the relevant parties. The Committee will collect information from a broad range of sources which, to the best of its knowledge, judgment and experience it deems reliable. Once gathered, the facts will be analysed, and the analysis will be used as the basis for recommendations. The Committee will then publish its findings and recommendations; the latter will include which authority is responsible for implementation, together with a realistic timeline. The CCIA assumes responsibility for follow up with regular periodicity on its recommendations with the implementing bodies, to see what progress has been made. It will again make public its findings related thereto, until the recommendations have been implemented satisfactorily or, if not, it will make public the reasons given by the target implementation body, with a CCIA opinion as to the reasons given. This will be an iterative process of indefinite length.
As his/her main function, the Expert will prepare, lead or supervise the preparation of, and follow-up to the reports as above. He will lead the CCIA secretariat for that purpose, and manage it administratively. In addition, he will provide policy advice as part of the CCIA secretariat. He will provide, among other, legal analysis on anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, asset declarations and any other matters as directed by the CCIA. He or she will analyse relevant legislative proposals, strategic policy documents, provide recommendations and guidance concerning his/her sector of expertise.
The Expert will report to the CCIA, his/her work will be supervised by the CCIA co-chairs. The Expert may be requested to attend coordination meetings with the national stakeholders and the development partners. In all instances, such attendance will require prior information and approval of the CCIA co-chairs.
Key tasks may include, but not necessarily be limited to:
The Director will prepare a work plan for the Secretariat. Such planning will take place solely under the direction or guidance of the CCIA co-chairs. He will be responsible thereafter for its execution according to work plan milestones, under the supervision of the CCIA co-chairs. His periodic and/or annual performance will be evaluated accordingly solely by the CCIA co-chairs.
