1. To develop zero tolerance against corruption among Moldovan citizens

2. To strengthen anti-corruption mechanisms including the investigation and prosecution mechanisms, the asset recovery functions, the declaration of assets and of conflict of interest and the prevention of corruption.

In support of the Moldovan government’s commitments to enhance the effectiveness of state and civil society measures against corruption, GIZ is implementing the "Strengthening the Rule of Law and Anti-Corruption Mechanisms in the Republic of Moldova" project (ACT Project).

The project's objective is to contribute to the prevention and fight against corruption in Moldova. This is achieved through various approaches: engaging civil society in corruption prevention; strengthening the institutional and operational capacities of specialized investigative authorities and public prosecutor's offices; ensuring efficient corruption and money laundering prevention; the fight against illegal asset recovery and repatriation; the declaration of assets and conflicts of interest; enhancing the communication and cooperation skills of partner institutions to improve efficiency in the anti-corruption process chain. The project aligns both with the priorities of the current Moldovan government and supports Moldova's path towards becoming a member of the EU, specifically in the area of anti-corruption and judicial reform.
