GIZ is looking for an advisor on Anti-Corruption in the Education Sector for its project “Anti-Corruption: For Integrity and Social Responsibility in the Republic of Moldova”, financed by the German Government.

Everyday corruption in the education system undermines equal opportunities and weakens the trust that citizens place in state institutions. For this reason, the country needs institutional capacities for its fight against corruption, especially in the education system. Governmental and non-governmental institutions alike must develop their skills and improve exchanges and cooperation among themselves.
