REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA
e-Government Center

From 2006 to 2013, Moldova modernized its civil service legislation and administrative processes under the Central Public Administration Reform (CPAR), supported by the Bank's administered CPAR MDTF. However, additional efforts are needed to transform Moldova public administration and bring it closer to the EU standards as planned under the action plan for implementation of the Association Agreement with the EU, signed in 2014.

Governance is identified as a cross-cutting issue and interventions are planned to improve the business enabling environment, enhance public administration reform and quality of public service delivery. The Government has requested the World Bank’s assistance for a PAR operation, planned for delivery commencing in FY17 to 2021, called Modernization of Government Services Project (MGSP).

In the context of Government of Moldova’s objective to digitize all public services by 2020, data exchange across public authorities plays a crucial role in provision of e-service reengineering and digitization and properly identifying and documenting data exchange needs will further facilitate this process.

For this purpose, the e-Government Center of the Republic of Moldova is hiring three .NET Developers.
