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....
