Information technology specialist for the pre-vetting secretariat

Information Technology Specialist
for the Pre-Vetting Secretariat

Project Background:
Dexis Consulting Group, formerly Checchi & Co. Consulting in Moldova, implements the Effective Justice Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) project with USAID – Moldova to foster an efficient, accessible, and transparent justice system that uniformly applies the rule of law. Effective Justice has four goals: to deliver improved justice services, strengthen the connection between courts, communities, and system users, improve the judicial and legal environment for business, and strengthen the independence of the judiciary.

The project is implemented through individual Task Orders. Award of the second task order is anticipated in late February/early March 2022, for a performance period of 8 months, to provide technical assistance to “Support the Pre-Vetting Secretariat”. Assistance will consist of the establishment and support of a secretariat responsible for the investigation, analysis, and review of the integrity of candidates for the self-governing bodies of judges and prosecutors – the Superior Council of Magistracy (SCM) and the Superior Council of Prosecutors (SCP), respectively. The Covid-19 pandemic has prevented the election of new officers for the administration bodies of judges and prosecutors, as the General Assemblies of Judges and Prosecutors could not be convened due to pandemic-related restrictions. By default, the mandates of current members were extended, providing a window in which to conduct the vetting process for candidates. Thus, the pre-vetting process is planned to take place in early to mid-2022. Authority for the pre-vetting process is embedded in legislation adopted in the Moldovan Parliament in February 2022. The pre-vetting process will be conducted by an Evaluation Committee and its Secretariat.

The overarching goal of this anticipated second task order is the establishment of the pre-vetting secretariat that is fully operational, understands its roles and processes, and can prepare documents in accordance with the pre-vetting law and within all established timelines. Finalization of the recruitment and selection process is subject to the entry into force of the underlying law and USAID Moldova’s award of the task order.

Candidates should be aware of the following requirements:
1. All job offers will be contingent upon a successful background check from the National Anti-Corruption Center (NAC);
2. All job offers will be contingent on those selected holding no other active employment during the contract period.
3. All job offers will be contingent on the candidate's ability to start no later than two weeks after a formal job offer.

Candidates unable to meet these requirements will be disqualified.
