Raport alternativ de monitorizare nr.2 a implementării Strategiei privind asigurarea independenței și integrității sectorului justiției pentru anii 2022-2025
INTRODUCTION
The Strategy for Ensuring the Independence and Integrity of the Justice Sector for 2022– 2025 was adopted by the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova through Law No. 211/2021. The Strategy represents a key step in the efforts to strengthen a modern, transparent, accountable, and independent justice sector. Chapter II of the Strategy sets out the strategic directions and specific objectives to be achieved in pursuit of its overall goal: establishing an efficient, accessible, and trustworthy justice system. The Strategy’s monitoring framework also encourages the preparation of alternative monitoring reports by civil society organisations.
This monitoring report is an alternative assessment prepared by the team of experts from the Justice Experts Group (GEJ) in collaboration with experts of the #Justice4Moldova project from the Institute for European Policies and Reforms (IPRE). Its primary purpose is to assess the progress achieved and the challenges encountered in the implementation of the Strategy, based on both qualitative and quantitative analysis and in accordance with the methodology described below. For each objective under the strategic directions, the report examines the actions planned and implemented during the monitoring period and identifies priorities to be considered in future justice-sector policy documents.
The report presents the main findings regarding progress achieved, implementation challenges, and recommendations related to each of the three strategic directions. It covers developments throughout the entire implementation period of the Strategy.
The conclusions of this report are based on a quantitative and qualitative assessment of the implementation of the planned actions. The assessment sought to determine the extent to which the measures and actions reported as implemented corresponded to the expected results and outcome indicators established in the Strategy’s Action Plan.
The preparation of this monitoring report was based on information contained in the monitoring reports on the degree of implementation of the measures set out in the Action Plan for the implementation of the Strategy, prepared by the Ministry of Justice, including information provided by the authorities responsible for implementing the actions envisaged in the Action Plan, as well as information from publicly available sources.
