Contacts: Mr. Alexandru Cocirta. alexandru.cocirta@undp.orgBackground
The project is seeking to support the implementation of the relevant human rights reforms, plans and commitments, in order to ensure that the capacities of the national human rights institutions are strengthened, so that they are able to perform their key functions on the human rights monitoring, reporting, promotion and protection. The overall objective of the project is to improve human rights protection and rule of law, including effective national implementation of European and international instruments in the Republic of Moldova, through the strengthening institutional capacities of key actors in relation to justice and vulnerable groups. The project seeks to strengthen the capacities of public institutions, which have a mandate in the areas relating to human rights, criminal justice, governance and anti-corruption, in performing their key functions. These institutions include the Human Rights Centre (Ombudsperson Office) and the National Torture Prevention Mechanism, the Equality Council, the Ombudsperson in Psychiatry, the National Anti-Corruption Centre, the Parliamentary Human Rights Commission, the National Legal Aid Council, the upcoming Monitoring Mechanism on the CRPD implementation, the National Institute of Justice, and the Constitutional Court. In addition to this, key ministries (Health, Social Protection and Education) will be involved in order to strengthen the “governance” and “human rights” components. This should be viewed in light of the fact that these ministries are key for the implementation of and reporting on a good part of international human rights recommendations, and at the same time as their staff persons were not properly trained yet to perform such kind of work. The project’s first and major Activity consists of the design and implementation of a systematic training/coaching programme for core staff of the above-mentioned institutions. The aim will be to enhance their capacity to perform effectively in relation to their core functions and mandates. This includes, but is not limited to, the monitoring and documentation, case handling, data and findings’ analysis, reporting, advocacy, human rights based approach application, mainstreaming equality, inclusion and gender issues, policy making and the legislative process; and focus on the interaction with other stakeholders such as civil society, media, Parliament, State bodies, the general public, victims of violations, and the international community (donors, UN, EU and CoE mechanisms). Strategic planning and programme design will also be addressed. Key processes such as those relating to law and policy reform and implementation in general and in particular to the UPR, reporting to the human rights bodies and the National Human Rights Action Plan implementation process, where these institutions have a key and distinct role to play, will be in focus.
