About us
Strategic priorities
In pursuit of this mission, Expert-Grup follows 3 strategic priorities:
Conducting independent, evidence-based research, advisory services and analysis across various economic and social fields, with the aim of developing a resilient and inclusive society.
Empowering communities, businesses and media to hold central and local public authorities accountable and to deliver high-quality public and private services and goods.
Providing support to other civil society organisations, particularly at the local level.
Values
Independence and objectivity
Expert-Grup encourages and practises creative and critical thinking. To strengthen the institutional prestige built over the years, we will continue to remain independent of any political or corporate interference.
Integrity and transparency
Our working and research methods are clear and transparent, all sources used in research are cited, and all persons who contribute to research are acknowledged.
Quality and relevance
Our aim is to produce high-quality outputs that meaningfully address current issues relevant to Moldova's development.
Avoiding conflicts of interest
We do not accept contracts that contradict our values or may undermine our independence.
