About
Eva Bounegru is a project manager at the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Republic of Moldova, specializing in the field of elections and democracy building. She coordinates the project 'Strengthening democracy in the Republic of Moldova through inclusive and transparent elections', focusing on the accessibility of polling stations for all citizens, including people with disabilities. Among her notable achievements is a pioneering national audit, conducted together with the Central Electoral Commission, which evaluated over 600 polling stations, revealing that only 6 are fully accessible and highlighting major barriers such as the lack of ramps, multiple stairs, and discriminatory attitudes. Her main collaboration is with UNDP Moldova, where she promotes international accessibility standards and human rights in public institutions such as schools, kindergartens, town halls, and libraries. She initiated social campaigns such as 'Equal access for all at polling stations', pointing out that a third of the population lacks daily access to public buildings, and participated in media interviews to raise awareness among local authorities regarding the need for ramps and a more careful selection of voting locations. Internationally, her activity aligns with UNDP's objectives of inclusive democracy, with potential application in similar contexts within the region. Although detailed information about Eva Bounegru's personal life is not publicly available, her commitment to promoting inclusion suggests a deep dedication to democratic values and human rights. As a professional in international organizations such as the UNDP, she contributes to sustainable development in the Republic of Moldova, inspiring systemic changes in access to public services and equitable electoral participation.
