The Association for Participatory Democracy ADEPT, the Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” and the Legal Resources Centre from Moldova (LRCM) have published the final report monitoring the Roadmap on the priority reform agenda. It covers 69 actions the authorities were to carry out between 1 March and 31 July 2016.

Only 55% of the actions (38) were fully implemented, 28% (19) were implemented with deficiencies and about 17% (12) were not implemented. The assessment prioritised quality over deadlines, which were often unrealistically short. Achievements include the laws on the prosecution service, the reorganisation of the courts, the integrity package, the 2016-2020 investment and export strategy, Basel 3 alignment, and a transparent selection of the National Bank of Moldova Governor.

Major backlogs remain: CNA reform, a new Audiovisual Code, the slow investigation of the 2014 banking fraud, National Bank of Moldova reform and a failure to negotiate the best electricity price. The Government assessed 82 actions instead of 69 by splitting actions 1.2, 1.3 and 10.1, which affected its reported result. The report offers priority recommendations for end-2016 and medium-term ones, and was supported by USAID.
