Mr. Sergiu Galitchi.

Background

The UNDP Moldova Democracy Programme (further referred as Programme) is a multi-year institutional development Programme that aims to support modernisation of the Moldovan electoral process towards, inter alia, improved voter register and better handling of electoral information. The electoral process and quality of data of the State Register of Voters (SRV) would be strengthened by improving the quality of data in other official registers that are supplied to the CEC for the establishment of the SRV.

One of the most important datasets for the accuracy and completeness of the SRV is availability of the official address register which would supply data on addresses. At the same time the address register should provide official address data to all public and private institutions to ensure uniformity of the data based on the principle of “single registration (source) – multiple use” of data. The address data from the official address register shall be supplied to the State Register of Population, State Register of Business Entities and to all other users of address data.

The administrator of the official address register shall be the State Enterprise “Cadastru” (SE Cadastru) working under auspices of the Agency of Land Relations and Cadastre (ALRC) of the Republic of Moldova.

The Programme aims to support ALRC and SE Cadastru to develop the necessary legal and regulatory framework for a modern address system implementation in the Republic of Moldova. In the future, based on the new legislative framework, the Programme will support the development of an IT solution for the official address register.

Scope of work

The Programme is looking to contract an experienced international consultant (hereinafter called “Consultant”) to assist the ALRC and SE Cadastru to develop the address law and the related regulatory framework for address system implementation and establishment of the official address register for the Republic of Moldova in line with the EU Directives and standards in the sector and based on the newly developed strategy on address system implementation.
