CLDP, in cooperation with U.S. and European-based procurement experts, lead a virtual consultation on best practices for Moldova’s implementation of a new law establishing the rules by which entities operating in the utilities sector may procure goods and services for themselves. During the program, experts discussed best practices in implementation of a similar European law and provide insight into ways to incorporate U.S. best practices into Moldova’s implementation of its law. This project builds on CLDP’s continued effort to ensure that Moldova’s Public Procurement Agency is able to disseminate best practices and guidance on public procurement throughout Moldova at the local, regional, and national level. More effective and uniform procurement practices increase transparency and predictability while leveling the playing field for all bidders, including interested U.S. companies, and reduce opportunities for corruption.
