Strengthening the capacities of the Republic of Moldova’s public administration for implementing the government programme in line with the EU-Moldova Association Agreement.

The ”Policy Advisory Fund” technical cooperation project draws on the current government’s willingness to reform by providing targeted support to develop capacities and skills within Moldova’s government institutions and among its government representatives. The measure additionally builds on the potential for mobilising the Moldovan diaspora in various European countries for Moldova’s socio-economic development.

To support the Republic of Moldova’s public administration in implementing the government programme in accordance with the EU Association Agreement, the project’s capacity development strategy holistically addresses the levels of individuals, organisations and society. This is ensured by its high level of thematic flexibility, which makes it possible to address specific partner needs in a potential-oriented manner during implementation of the project. At the societal level, the project aims to improve the national legal, financial and political framework for implementing the government programme, based on the principles of good governance, rule of law and transparency. Improved horizontal cooperation between institutions at central level are also promoted during the lifespan of the project. At the organisation level, public administration institutions receive advice on how to design their organisational and operational structures in a more efficient, transparent and citizen-oriented manner. The individual level focuses on building the skills of experts and managers in all participating institutions. This is achieved through targeted training measures and through target group-specific advisory and exchange formats. As part of the capacity development strategy, advisory services are explicitly mainstreamed to disseminate information on gender-sensitive approaches and ensuring the equal participation of all social groups in decision-making processes in line with the LNOB principle of the 2030 Agenda.
