“At the ASP, the results are clear to see. The institution issues one million identity cards free of charge to citizens. A passport can be processed in four hours, and a birth certificate can be downloaded and printed at home. This is a standard that many countries in the EU can only dream of, but for an institution that will manage projects worth hundreds of millions, we need not only managerial capacity but also integrity. … He has demonstrated that he can modernise an institution and that he does not shy away from difficult problems. This is exactly what we need at Moldova Project too,” said the Prime Minister.
The new structure is currently being finalised and is due to be approved by the Government in the coming weeks. According to the Prime Minister, it will bring together specialists in engineering, project management, procurement, contract management, finance and law.
“We want a small but highly capable team: engineers, project managers, and specialists in procurement and tendering, contract management, finance and law. People who know how to prepare a project thoroughly, organise the procurement process professionally, monitor the works and, most importantly, see them through to completion. We are not inventing the model from scratch. We are drawing inspiration from the experience of countries such as Lithuania, Ireland and Montenegro, which have concentrated their implementation capacity on major projects,” said Tofan.
He explained that the new structure would be formed by consolidating functions from existing implementation units.
“Importantly, we will consolidate by centralising functions from other, already existing implementation units. So the intention is to save money, not to spend more.”
A key component of the new remit relates to the management and use of resources from the National Fund for the Development of the Regulatory Framework for Construction.
