Partners at local level

Civil Society Partners
• Think tanks, resource centres, national
level organisations (CISR, CLSP, ExpertGroup, Adept, IPP, SIEDO, Helsinki
Committee for Human Rights, LADOM,
IRP, Transparency International, Lawyers
for Human Rights, etc.)
• Local level organisations (appr. 100 direct
partners and over 250 involved in our
activities)
Private Sector Partners
• Over 40 companies participated in our
initiatives this year (Corporate Social
Responsibility Study, Growing Sustainable
Business project, Global Compact
initiative)
Key principles
• Support national development frameworks
(EGPRS, EU-Moldova Action Plan)
• Support essential elements of a
sustainable development process (national
ownership, an enabling policy environment,
national capacities, partnerships for results,
gender equality)

How our support contributes to
more effective development?
• Dialogue on policies and development options,
supported by analysis and studies, has
intensified
• A common national monitoring and evaluation
system for tracking development results is
developed
• The institutional reform (in separate institutions,
and across the Government) is gaining
momentum and is aiming towards EU best
practices and standards
• Strengthening national capacity for managing
development assistance

Lessons learnt
• Flexibility of UNDP assistance is valued by the
Government
• Donors coordination and collaboration is very
important – increasingly led by the Government
• Combination of international and national
expertise is the best solution
• Expertise from New Member States (EU-10) is
cost-effective and particularly relevant to
Moldova
• Local level partnerships are key for the success
of the project
Challenges
• The Government reorganisation affected
projects’ work
• Limited national capacity for carrying out
institutional reforms
• Need for a long-term vision of reform at initial
stage is a must
• Government plans to improve the mechanisms
and substantive dialogue on development
assistance with donors – challenge to make it
happen.
Challenges
• Work can be affected by too tight and changing
deadlines
• Communication among central public institutions
needs to be further developed
• NGOs still not participating in many policymaking exercises; the participation in service
delivery is not regulated by
standards/functioning mechanisms
• Persistence of several development agendas –
need to further focus in medium term
