USAID MOLDOVA

I also interviewed officials at USAID to discuss rule of law initiatives, including a number of programs to improve court administration.

"The Rule of Law Institutional Strengthening Program works to improve the institutional capacity, transparency and accountability of key justice sector institutions in order to guarantee the independence and increase the effectiveness and professionalism of the judiciary. The Program will (1) enhance the effectiveness, transparency and accountability of the Moldovan judiciary; (2) support development of a professional judicial cadre in Moldova and (3) increase the capacity of civil society organizations to monitor and advocate for justice sector reform and improve public legal awareness."

We also talked about USAID programs to strengthen civil society. Not the focus of my current research, but, given my passion for increasing volunteerism and civic engagement, I couldn't help myself. Perhaps a future project....
