PUBLIC CALL The civil society organizations call the Parliament to pass Draft Law No. 109 on Noncommercial Organizations in its final reading without amendments that could hinder the NGOs’ work
In March 2016, the Ministry of Justice started the work on a new Law on Noncommercial Organizations. The draft law was part of the National Action Plan for the implementation of the Association Agreement with the European Union for 2017 – 2019. The draft law was prepared by a working group-which also included civil society representatives-set up by the Ministry of Justice.
The new draft law transposes the best practice and standards concerning freedom of association, recommended by the Venice Commission and OSCE/ODIHR. The draft law limits the possibilities for authorities to exert pressure on noncommercial organizations and excludes unjustified limitations on setting up nonprofits by persons from certain categories. In addition, the draft law simplifies the registration of noncommercial organizations and their rigid internal organizational structure imposed by current laws. The draft law does not require the repeated registration of noncommercial organizations and does not restrict foreign funding for them. As for political activities, the draft law completely prohibits noncommercial organizations from supporting election candidates and sets clear limits on the relationship between noncommercial organizations and political parties. The draft law also establishes the legal framework concerning the government financing or support for noncommercial organizations —a field that has been insufficiently regulated by current laws. The Ministry of Justice put the draft law to repeated public consultation and improved it based on the received feedback.
The draft law passed its first reading in Parliament on 3 May 2018. Since then, the draft law has garnered all required endorsements, including from the National Anticorruption Centre (NAC) and the relevant specialized committees. Although the enactment of the draft law in the final reading should have been a natural follow-up, the Parliament has been putting off the final reading for 22 months now.
The lack of a new legal framework on noncommercial organizations has perpetuated issues with the application of the legislation on noncommercial organizations. The March 2019 amendments intended to bring the Civil Code up to date and supposed to be voted along with the draft Law on Noncommercial Organizations added other difficulties, including the impossibility to set up the association form “the union of legal entities”. All these changes are provided for in the draft law in question. The failure to pass the new law also causes financial difficulties for noncommercial organizations. Currently, the Public Services Agency levies the same taxes on NGOs for certain types of services as on commercial legal entities, which is unreasonable.
The signatory organizations call the Parliament and all parliamentary groups:
- To pass draft Law on Noncommercial Organizations No. 109 in the final reading as soon as possible but not later than by the end of March 2020;
- To reject the amendments that can hinder the work of noncommercial organizations, especially those that limit freedom of expression or the noncommercial organizations’ possibility to advocate for public policies or to access foreign funds. Such limitations are incompatible with a genuinely democratic society and with the standards of the Council of Europe;
- To consult civil society organizations about any proposed amendment to the draft law in a transparent and inclusive way. Since the draft law was prepared in collaboration with representatives of the civil society sector, we request that they be involved in the discussions related to the completion of the draft law for the second reading.

Moldovan NGOs representatives have learned how to effectively implement an information campaign on the 2% mechanism
On 28 February 2020, 15 representatives of non-governmental organizations (NGOs) from Moldova participated in the training workshop "How to effectively carry out a 2% information campaign". During one day they learned how to effectively communicate about the 2% mechanism to their beneficiaries and supporters and how to promote their cause to raise funds.
During the training, the participants learned about the stages of a 2% communication campaign, techniques for identifying the target group and the resources needed to carry out such a campaign. There were also practical exercises to develop a message that corresponds to the proposed objectives. Also, participants were guided in the use of a free digital tool to be able to create promotional materials that are attractive to the public.
The workshop served as a space for the exchange of experience between NGO representatives on their successes and challenges encountered in communicating with their public about the 2% mechanism.
The event was held within the project "Promoting rule of law in Moldova through civil society oversight", implemented by the Legal Resources Centre from Moldova with the financial support of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
LRCM seeks to contract a consultant / team of consultants to undertake the external evaluation of the implementation of a USAID project
2 March 2020
The Legal Resources Centre from Moldova (LRCM) is a non-profit organization that contributes to strengthening democracy and the rule of law in the Republic of Moldova with emphasis on justice and human rights. Our work includes research and advocacy. We are independent and politically non-affiliated.
The LRCM promotes an independent, efficient, and accountable judiciary, respect of human rights, an enabling environment for civil society and democracy. For that end, we identify problems with systemic impact, bring them into the public agenda, propose solutions, react to abuses and mobilize partners for changes in good. More information on LRCM activity is available at www.old2.old.crjm.org.
BACKGROUND
In October 2016, the LRCM started the implementation of the project “Promoting the Rule of Law in Moldova through civil society oversight”, supported by the U.S. Agency for International Development (hereinafter the USAID funded project).

The legal framework will be improved for ensuring fiscal and financial sustainability of CSOs. CSOs will be empowered to make use of the new fiscal regulations and participation in drafting laws/public policies at the level of the Parliament.
- to increase the accountability and transparency of the Moldovan justice system - to achieve this result, LRCM aims to reach the following sub-results: (i) The general public and donor community will be informed of the current activity and problems in the judiciary; (ii) Transparency of SCM will increase as a result of consistent CSO and media attention; (iii) The criteria, mechanisms and practice of selection and promotion of judges will be amended to lead to merit based decisions; (iv) The impact of the reforms will be assessed and proposals made to the public authorities to increase; (v) Transparency, efficiency and accountability of the justice system. The plan for building of courthouses to implement the 2016 Law on reorganization of the court system (optimization of judicial map) approved by the Parliament.
- to promote effective implementation of European human rights standards in Moldova - to achieve this result, LRCM aims to reach the following sub-results: (i) The public will be informed of ECHR violations regarding Moldova and the need for change; hence social pressure on Moldovan authorities will determine them to comply with the ECHR standards; (ii) The skills of trained judges, prosecutors and lawyers will be improved to apply in practice the ECHR standards; (iii) A new system of effective execution of the ECtHR judgments by Moldova will be set up; (iv) The Law on ensuring equality will be amended to strengthen the status of the Non-Discrimination Council, in particular the power to apply sanctions for discrimination. Analysis of court cases on discrimination will be carried out and weaknesses in interpretation highlighted for further improvement; (v) In the long term, the principle of equality and non-discrimination will be fully implemented via Non-Discrimination Council jurisprudence and judicial practice.
