Support to Moldovan Parliament

Project description

CILC was a member of the consortium led by Brussels based IBF International Consulting, which at the end of 2005 was awarded a European Commission framework contract to provide expertise to beneficiary countries in the area of Culture, Governance and Home Affairs (Lot 7). This sector includes rule of law and judicial reform activities. The contract was initially set to run through 2007, but was prolonged until 2009.

As part of this framework contract, in July 2006, Jan Janus from the Dutch Ministry of Justice and CILC Senior Project Manager Eric Vincken were selected to prepare a Twinning fiche for a future EC project to support the Moldovan parliament. From September through December, they undertook missions to this effect to Brussels, Chisinau and Kyiv.

The framework contract is a facility enabling the EC’s external assistance program, EuropeAid, to rapidly mobilise experts for short- or medium-term missions around the world. For each assignment, three consortia compete to propose the best team of experts under the best conditions within a tight deadline.
