2 This Country Programme Document (CPD) is formulated in partnership with the Government, through extensive consultation with other partners and is in harmony with the country s strategic documents, including the Moldova 2020 strategy. It derives its focus from the agreed outcomes and commitment towards a more coherent UN System as agreed in the UN Moldova Partnership Framework (UNPF) : Towards Unity in Action. The innovative programming and business model makes an ambitious shift in line with the UNDP corporate strategy of Aiming Higher, while building on the success and knowledge gained from ongoing programmes. I. Situation analysis The Republic of Moldova is a lower middle-income country in transition. It s GDP per capita (PPP) stood at USD 3,092 in , the lowest in Europe. With a human development index (HDI) of in 2011, Moldova is ranked at 111 th out of 187 countries, within medium human development category and below the average for the countries in Europe and Central Asia. The inequalities however further discount the HDI value by 12.2 per cent. Despite the global economic turbulences, the Moldovan economy is the fastest recovering in the region (6.9 percent GDP growth in 2010, 6.5 percent expected in ), yet the growth remains consumption-based and jobless. Absolute poverty significantly decreased from 67.8 per cent in 2000 to 21.9 per cent in 2010, but disparities persist. 80 per cent 3 of poor live in rural areas and are dependent on the shrinking agriculture sector. Labour migration is an important exit strategy for many Moldovans, mostly young people from rural areas. The country has one of the highest levels of migrant workers relative to population 4 and remittances inflow relative to GDP in the world. 5 This development model contributed to poverty reduction, but with huge human and social costs 6 and longer term development constraints (political, economic, and demographic). Progress was made in meeting most of the MDG targets (21 out of 27 targets are on track) 7. However, enhanced efforts are needed to sustain those and reach the targets related to education, combating HIV/AIDS and TB, and access to improved water sources and sewerage. Trends of unequal progress, missing data throughout all MDGs, and disparities around gender and vulnerable groups 8 are also worrying. The democratic political transition remains complex. In three years, from 2009 to 2011, Moldovans went to the polls for five times. Since 2009, Moldovan Parliament has not succeeded in electing president, creating continued uncertainty and political deadlock. European integration is the fundamental policy priority and drives the reform agenda. Despite various ongoing reform attempts, many institutional challenges remain, including modernization of the public administration, its effectiveness and ability to render good public services and advance the European agenda, at central and local levels. Independence, access to and efficiency of the justice system is another challenge, as is the need for effective policies and institutions to prevent and combat corruption. 1 IMF World Economic Outlook Database, September National Bureau of Statistics, IMF forecast, Ministry of Economy, Poverty in the Republic of Moldova, Briefing Note, Estimates for migrants share of working age population vary from percent 5 23 per cent of GDP in 2010, BNM /2011 NHDR: From Social Exclusion Towards Inclusive Human Development, The Second Millennium Development Goals Report, Republic of Moldova, At issue are categories including persons with disabilities, living with HIV/AIDS, Roma, potentially families with one or more family members living abroad and others as included in footnote 5, page 8, UN Moldova Partnership Framework
3 Since 2009, human rights have been a central part of the public agenda. Even with the progress in improving the legal framework, a range of reforms remain outstanding. Limited institutional capacity precludes human rights protection in many areas, including the struggle against torture and related treatment, discrimination and domestic violence. The frozen conflict in the Transnistria breakaway region continues to be a threat to the stability of Moldova and the development gap with the rest of Moldova is increasing. Political dialogue has been restarted and it is highly unlikely that open conflict will reemerge. The reintegration of the country remains a high priority for the Government. While the policy foundation for gender equality is well-established and laudable, patriarchal norms are resistant to change. Policies are not sufficiently backed by resources for full realization and political and economic empowerment of women 9. Moldova is energy resource poor country 10 with high level of energy losses, and low affordability of heat services 11. Energy efficiency and use of renewable energy sources is therefore a strategic priority. High dependence on agriculture and predominance of rural poverty make the people and economy highly vulnerable to climatic conditions. 12 Extreme weather events are projected to be more frequent and affect a large number of people. Resilience to climate change challenges is limited as are the disaster risk management capacities at various levels. Intensified actions are needed to meet the ambitious international commitments for climate change adaptation and mitigation 13. II. Past cooperation and lessons learned A comprehensive Assessment of Development Results was conducted in 2011, in a harmonized manner with the evaluation of UNDAF. Some of the forward-looking findings and lessons distilled from these and other reviews include: UNDP s advantage of speed in acting and flexibility in adjusting, as well as its credibility, has led to 17 percent of technical assistance in Moldova going through UNDP alone 14. Rapid programme expansion has given UNDP s voice legitimacy and leadership in donor coordination and access to the top levels of the government. UNDP is among the key partners and the main UN agency supporting the aspiration to create a modern European public administration and advance on diverse reforms. Capacity development support brought favorable results to nearly all ministries, specialized bureaus and Central Electoral Commission. In some areas, move from conceptual design to practical implementation has been slow, especially in tough or politically sensitive reform areas. The neutral role of UNDP has been a key element behind the access needed to implement successfully confidence-building measures in the Transnistrian region, where other international organizations have faced difficulties. 9 Only 22 per cent of parliamentary seats are held by women; gender gap in income is around 24 per cent.

4 UNDP has also been a continuous source of support on local self-governance and decentralization policies. The many successes of UNDP s persistent effort have affirmed that strengthening of local governance works in the Moldovan context and is efficient in bringing benefits to local communities. Accelerated efforts to implement the decentralization strategy and improve local service delivery are however vital. UNDP has made important contributions to the improvement of the policy, legal and institutional framework for advancement of human rights in Moldova, as well as for strengthening of capacity to report on the fulfillment of international commitments. UNDP has played a critical role, together with other UN agencies, to advocate for change and address key gender and women s empowerment issues. While steps taken are laudable, there is a need to further strengthen human rights and gender mainstreaming actions. UNDP s lead in bringing UN agencies together resulted in many joint programmes of critical importance to Moldova to bring about better results, which would not have been possible alone. This is one of the reasons for the interest for a more coherent UN. During transition of Moldova towards European integration, the UN agencies continue to have an important role to play in Moldova and are asked to act in a more coherent manner. The role and position of UNDP as the largest agency is crucial in achieving this objective. III. Proposed programme The rapidly changing environment, Moldova s European aspirations, and its international commitments -- including the MDGs -- set the stage for deep, transformative change in Moldova. These efforts are needed to make current progress irreversible, and enhance its growth in an inclusive, equitable, and sustainable manner. While supporting Moldova s transformation and European integration path, UNDP will contribute to genderdifferentiated human development outcomes. UNDP will lead the integrated UN effort in development of capacities critical for the democratic governance and respect of human rights, promotion of balanced, inclusive and green development as well as sustainable and resilient management of resources and adaptation to climate change. Dynamic and innovative modalities will be used to lay the ground for system-wide transformations. Opportunities to link and simultaneously address social inclusion priorities, economic opportunities and environmental sustainability will be sought. The potential of green economy and efficient use of resources for sustainable growth will be demonstrated through integrated initiatives tailored to the Moldovan context. Support for analytical leadership for policy options to priority and off-track MDG + sectors will complement national capacity to monitor their impact. Private sector engagement in development will be promoted, such as in renewable energy and modernization of the social sectors. Capacities for integrating human rights-based approach and gender mainstreaming in policies will be further strengthened. Civil society, academia and media will be empowered to facilitate and promote the public interest and responsible civic activism (especially among youth), as well as to play a leading role in the social behavior change. Learning from and sharing the successful experiences of Moldova with other countries, including via regional partnerships, East-East cooperation and mobilization of innovative sources, will be undertaken. The transformative potential of information and communication technologies will be used for catalytic e-governance initiatives and e- services for citizens socio-economic empowerment. Particular focus will be given to equality, empowerment of women, non-discrimination and social inclusion of the most vulnerable. The ambition will be to engage in the Transnistrian region in the same manner as in the rest of the country. Effectiveness will also be enhanced as result of a stronger unity in action by the UN family, by maximizing the synergy and expertise of the UN. In the area of Democratic Governance, Rule of Law, Equality and Human Rights, UNDP will focus on accelerating complex justice, public administration and decentralization reforms. Support will be provided to partners to move from policy and legislative 4
5 formulation to practical implementation, prioritizing reforms related in particular to European integration. UNDP will also support national capacities to implement the recommendations arising from Moldova s first Universal Periodic Review (UPR), as well as other international reviews. In doing so UNDP will aim to contribute to advancing realization of human rights, and increased efficiency, transparency and accountability in governance and service delivery. UNDP will promote Inclusive Development and Social Inclusion and work to further reduce poverty and urban-rural disparities, and improve socio-economic conditions, particularly among the most vulnerable. The focus will be on: (i) stimulating a more equitable local and regional development, especially in the MDG + priority areas, (ii) promoting local opportunities, particularly agriculture-based initiatives aiming to reduce emigration pressure through income-generating and employment opportunities for youth, the vulnerable, and social groups at risk of exclusion, (iii) targeting inter-linkages of the key sectors (governance, social, economic, environment), (iv) expanding confidencebuilding measures in the Transnistria region and serving as knowledge hub for development assistance in the region, with the aim inter alia that enhanced socio-economic development of the Transnistria region facilitates the reintegration objectives of the country. As concerns Environment, Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management, UNDP will support policies and capacities for sustainable management of the environment and natural resources at all levels. In doing so, the programme will focus on institutional strengthening, implementation capacities, access to information, effective public participation and behavior change. Ongoing successful work in the field of biodiversity and ecosystem service conservation will continue. UNDP will support government capacities to respond better to climate change and disasters with adequate policies, institutions and coordination mechanisms. Local capacities will be strengthened to assess, adapt to, and reduce climate risks as well as to prepare for and respond to disasters. UNDP will promote greening economic development and scaleable models for energy efficiency and access to clean and affordable energy as a basis for the creation of sustainable markets for renewable energy production and efficient consumption. IV. Programme management, monitoring and evaluation When Aiming Higher, innovation and joint UN programming will be fundamental. UNDP will strengthen cross-practice and cross-agency collaboration, including the work on human rights mainstreaming with the OHCHR under the Human Rights Adviser modalities. Changes will be made to respond to requirements for new capacities and ways that the Office is structured and programmes are led. High quality national staff will be engaged and additional expertise will be brought in to support the strategic technical capabilities. National implementation will be prevailing modality, with direct implementation used on an exceptional basis, to be further elaborated as individual programmes are appraised. UNDP will continue to provide implementation support services to Government and as invited will invoke fast track procedures if needs arise for rapid response to crisis. To further strengthen national ownership, the use of national systems in programme implementation will be expanded and support provided to partners in its implementation. Together with the State Chancellery, the National Coordinating Authority, UNDP will exercise joint ownership and mutual responsibility for the programme. This will include joint resource mobilization efforts targeting traditional and emerging development partners. The main planning and reporting instrument will be the UN Common Action Plan and the projects annual work plans designed in close cooperation with national partners and other UN Agencies. An annual programme review will be done within the UNPF review process and each outcome will be evaluated at least once during the programme cycle. The monitoring and evaluation capacities of the office and of partners will be strengthened, including by supporting data availability, reliability and timeliness. 5
