Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.

The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” is launching the project “Transforming Chișinău into a better place to live”. Running from January to September 2016, it aims to make spending on street repair, maintenance and construction in Chișinău more efficient by monitoring and evaluating public authorities' actions throughout the procurement cycle.

The project will cover not only procurement carried out during 2016 but also the results of road works over the past three to four years. Expert-Grup will keep citizens informed about its activities, results and problems, including how the Municipal Council and Chișinău City Hall cooperate with the team. Communication will rely on press releases, social media and the websites www.budgetstories.md and www.expert-grup.org.

Stakeholders, especially pedestrians, cyclists, drivers, transport operators and residents living near works, are asked to report problems with repair, maintenance and reconstruction of streets, car parks, pavements and road markings. They can phone 022-929994, email info@expert-grup.org, use the Expert-Grup and Budget Stories Facebook pages, or write to str. Puskin 45, 2nd floor, Chișinău. The project is funded by PASOS (Czech Republic) under “Partners in Empowerment”, financed by the European Commission.
