Moldova's first citizens driven platform for reporting corruption

The project “Educate. Engage. Empower. Community Tools Against Corruption” is being implemented by the e-Governance Academy Foundation (Estonia) and Center for Policies and Reforms (Moldova) with the support of the Estonian Ministry of Foreign Affairs from the funds of development cooperation and humanitarian aid and the Open Society Foundations. The general aim of the project is to make the society in Moldova aware of corruption at all levels and more active in confronting it by educating, engaging and empowering the population to act against corruption through the use of ICT tools.

The goal was to develop and design an interactive website to encourage citizens' participation in the fight against corruption in Moldova. The platform aims to transform Moldova into a corruption-free society, provide information about different aspects of corruption, enable the users to advance their knowledge on corruption from different perspectives and provide the users with the opportunity to report corruption-prone procedures and everyday life situations. All the submitted information through the application should then be collected, compiled on a platform that aggregates all reports into general statistics, showing the total amount of corruption cases and purposes that are most common.

The website aims to increase citizens' participation in the anti-corruption fight. The users have the possibility to report corruption cases by writing texts, uploading videos or pictures including details about where and when the corrupt act occurred, the platform allows users to send reports and stay anonymous at the same time.

• a platform where citizens can raise awareness regarding different aspects of corruption;
• users may report corruption anonymously;
• view reported cases, categorized by the type of case reported;
• help citizens recognize, avoid and tackle corruption situations;
• collect data, identify and analyze corruption trends to detect public services prone to corruption.
