The UNDP “Strengthening Parliamentary Governance in Moldova” (SPGM) Project works with the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova (PRM) to strengthen its law-making, oversight and representation functions with a specific focus on EU integration and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The project directly assists standing committees and the secretariat of parliament in the implementation of their mandate. Project interventions include training, technical assistance, easy-to-read publications, exchanges and opportunities for learning from other parliaments, as well as the provision of specialized technical equipment. Through this support, parliament is improving its capacity to strengthen the legal framework and successfully engage in oversight through multi-stakeholder action involving civil society, professional associations and the public. Activities will offer and encourage equal opportunity for male and female participation and gender is mainstreamed throughout the project. In line with the Strategic Development Plan for 2017 – 2019, the Parliament’s Secretariat has set the preparations for the new legislature’s mandate as one of its specific objectives. As the end of the parliamentary cycle is approaching, the parliament is starting preparations for the next convocation with elections expected to take place at the end of 2018/beginning 2019. By the decision of the Secretary General, a working group was created for the design and implementation of the orientation and induction programme for the newly elected MPs. Subsequently, a workplan was developed by the working group and subsequently approved by the Secretary-General in May 2018. In line with the priority areas set in the parliament’s work plan, the SPGM project will support the working group with the elaboration of the regulatory framework necessary for establishing the working bodies of the legislature. In this regard, UNDP is seeking to hire a national consultant to support the working group with the development of parliamentary regulations concerning the preparation and organisation of the constituent meeting and other parliamentary bodies of the legislature.
