The third training for monitors was organized on 22-23 June 2013 as part of the Civic Monitoring Mission for the implementation of the Justice Sector Reform in Moldova.
The first session of the training was devoted to assessing the work of the monitors’ network in the recent months, performance review, assessing the difficulties faced by monitors and proposing solutions for improving the work of the Monitoring Mission.
The participants continued to deepen their knowledge in the field of trial monitoring through their gained experience. Note that one of the components of the monitoring effort focuses on trial monitoring at the national level. Monitors discussed the monitoring process and the questionnaires used as an important part of this process. Monitors were trained to be more persistent in having parties to the trials fill in their questionnaires in order to get a much broader sense of the perception of individuals about the process of justice.
The training also included discussions about monitoring the implementation of specific activities of the Justice Sector Reform Strategy. Monitors were trained to fill in questionnaires on the implementation of actions that are due for completion in the second quarter of 2013. A separate session was dedicated to the general progress of the Justice Sector Reform as well as the progress registered in certain regions. Experts used the monitoring methodology to develop a questionnaire that serves as a basis for the assessment of results achieved in the Justice Sector reform. At the end of the seminar, the monitors filled in the questionnaire, thus providing an assessment of the reform results by this particular group. The results of the questionnaire per categories of respondents will be presented in the next report of the Association.
Over the two days of the training, the monitors learned about monitoring instruments, their application in the field as well as reporting and communication within the network.
The event was conducted within the project “Monitoring Justice Sector Reform for Increased Government’s Accountability”, implemented by Promo-LEX and the Association for an Efficient and Responsible Governance, and funded by the European Union. The purpose of the training was to build the capacity of the civil society to monitor the justice sector reform and increase public interest for this reform.
