Independent Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee

The Independent Anti-Corruption Advisory Committee (CCIA) was established in June 2021 by Presidential Decree and has three international and three local experts. The main objective of the Committee is to analyze systemic issues of corruption that cut across Moldovan institutions, in the expectation that ways and means to improve anti-corruption efforts will be identified and implemented by the relevant parties. The Committee will collect information from a broad range of sources which, to the best of its knowledge, judgment and experience it deems reliable. Once gathered, the facts will be analyzed, and the analysis will be used as the basis for recommendations. The Committee will then publish its findings and recommendations; the latter will include which authority is responsible for implementation, together with a realistic timeline. The CCIA assumes responsibility for follow up with regular periodicity on its recommendations with the implementing bodies, to see what progress has been made. It will again make public its findings related thereto, until the recommendations have been implemented satisfactorily or, if not, it will make public the reasons given by the target implementation body, with a CCIA opinion as to the reasons given. This will be an iterative process of indefinite length. Currently, the CCIA is financed by the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova and the U.S Department of State Bureau of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement Affairs.
