This document contains the final report for the project, “Building the Rule of Law Information Network Infrastructure in Moldova.”
Abstract
This report covers the period from June 1, 1999 until May 31, 2000. Due to factors beyond the control of the Rule of Law Foundation and its local partners in Moldova, the installation of one Internet studio remained to be completed in the fall of 2000. The main deliverable for the project was to install Internet studios at 10 organizations connected with criminal justice in Moldova. This included at least five computer workstations each, an NT server, network equipment, a printer, high-speed dedicated access to the Internet, technical support, and training. An Inter-Agency Training Center with 10 workstations would be the site for training personnel from the 10 organizations hosting studios on the use of the Internet. These studios formed the basis for content development activities outside the scope of this project. Activities included developing websites describing the host institutions’ structure, missions, policies, functional activities, and public outreach. Also included was the creation of collections of legal materials, official government documents, statistics and other non-classified information, making them available for public access through the Internet. Also, training was provided on general Internet use and publishing. Also completed was the installation of ten of eleven of the studios by May 2000, with the first four placed in December 1999. The room where the final studio was to be placed, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, was still undergoing repair and renovation at the close of the project. Installation was completed upon availability in the fall of 2000. The end result is a legal community in Moldova better able to share information, both within the community and with the rest of the world. 2 appendices
