[Added: 2018/12/27] [Last Updated: 2019/12/06] |
UNDP Project Team | 2019/11 | No Longer Applicable |
[Justification: The action could not be implemented as originally envisaged given the lack of the Parliament’s Action Plan on Oversight, as such the laws to be subjected to ex post impact assessment could not be identified and analysis could not be carried out.

[Added: 2018/12/27] [Last Updated: 2019/11/14] |
UNDP Project Team | 2019/09 | No Longer Applicable |
[Justification: This action was cancelled since currently there is no Plan on Parliamentary Oversight developed at the level of PRM and the planned work cannot be carried out.
Originally the activity was designed to ensure sustainability of the work related to the Parliament’s Anti-corruption Action Plan and the Charter of the Moldova National Chapter of the Global Organization of Parliamentarians Against Corruption (GOPAC). Given the delay in creation of the working bodies of the Parliament, the legislature did not developed and approved the Plan on Parliamentary Oversight. Thus the work of the committees related to oversight is sporadic and is driven by the priorities of the governing coalition. As a result the work planned under this activity, foreseen to be conducted through means of ex-post impact assessment of previously adopted laws, with the support of national consultancy, could not be scheduled and delivered.
