a competition.
The majority of Service providers have forwarded 3-4 project proposals, except SP
Sangerei, SP Anenii Noi, SP Orhei who had 6-7 project proposals.

finance 72 mini projects, later signed as special provided services contracts.
Based on field visits, the ACSA executive direction together with Service Providers,
exterior consultants and beneficiaries, have set activity plans for all involved parties

convocation steps of seminars or other training-informational activities according to
contractual conditions. The necessities have been established and seeding and
planting material, equipment and tools procured to insure the execution of respective
technologies on the demonstration plots.
The special service providing contracts have been implemented by 33 out of 35 SP.

the achievement of the project
- 45 -

goal.
The goal of monitoring and evaluation is to verify the activity of regional and local ACSA
consultants and assess project implementation progress.
The monitoring and evaluation of ACSA network activity in the first quarter was mainly
influenced by two factors: lack of financial resources until beginning of March (contracts
with Service Providers were signed on March 2, 2007) and lack of transportation ACSA
vehicle was damaged in a car accident on November 17, 2006. However, in the second,
third and forth quarters, monitoring and evaluation activities were carried out according to
the working plan due to the purchase of a car for the Executive Directorate of ACSA and
a car for the Rural Extension Services Unit. Thus, during 2007 the staff of ACSA
Executive Directorate and the Rural Extension Services Unit made joint field trips and
monitored and evaluated all 35 Service Providers covering more than 55% of the local
consultants. The centers that had difficulties in complying with contractual obligations
and were not capable of settling some acute problems were visited several times (SP
Leova, SP Criuleni, SP Cimislia, SP Stefan Voda, SP Taraclia, SP Soroca, SP Rezina,
SP Floresti, SP Falesti, SP Briceni, SP Basarabeasca, SP Cahul, SP Causeni, and
SP Comrat).
For a more objective evaluation of the activity of rural extension consultants,
discussions with regional and local consultants, representatives of local public
administration mayors, deputy mayors, secretaries and other employees of the
village halls and beneficiaries were held during monitoring visits. In addition to that
the physical comfort of offices, transparency, activity planning and execution as well
as documentation were examined on site. Immediately after signing contracts for
provision of services in 2007, the monitoring team focused on evaluating the activity
of the Service Provider ,,Local Development Agency" from Leova, which, following the
decision of the Selection Committee, was supposed to improve its management. As
a result, the founders of the organization recommended a new coordinator, who was
subsequently approved. This service provider was visited several times in the second
and third quarter as well.
ACSA Executive Directorate carried out a monitoring visit to SP Criuleni to offer
assistance in transferring local consultants from SP Dubasari that had their
consulting services contracts terminated, according to the decision of the Selection
Committee. As a result, 4 consultants continue to work as part of SP ,,Criul-Fermier"
and they seem to have been integrated into the team. ACSA Executive Directorate
- 46 -

visited the consulting center from Criuleni several times to provide advisory support
in consultant team management.
Several monitoring visits have been organized to the Service Provider from Cainari,
as the management of that team has registered changes. The goal of the visits was
to provide adequate support to the new project coordinator. As a result, the
management of the team has improved significantly.
Similar situation has been registered for the Donduseni Service Provider, where the
management of the team has been changed as well. After several monitoring visits of
ACSA executive directorate, the activity of the center has been improved.
Monitoring of other centers revealed that all consultants comply with the contractual
provisions on consulting activity, recording of services provided, ensuring information
materials and transparency of the activity its-self. However, the monitoring team
identified the following gaps:
(i) Inadequate registration of services provided in the record register,
(ii) Incorrect formulation of subjects of major importance to beneficiaries when
planning seminars and round tables,
(iii) Insufficient transparency of consulting activity,
(iv) Insufficient promotion and sale of information materials developed by ACSA.
Consultants are facing difficulties in marketing brochures published three-four years
ago by ACSA. This is explained by the fact that the brochures are obsolete, by
changes in trends for agricultural crops and animal breeding, by the possibility to
borrow the brochure for a short period of time. Nevertheless, the beneficiaries have
an increased demand for the recently published materials, i.e. commercial ones,
which shows that farmers have a continuous interest for market-oriented agriculture.
It is good that most consultants understood the efficiency of providing consulting
services to groups and tend to increase their number. At the same time, some
consultants are still facing problems in identifying issues beneficiaries face. The
evidence of that is represented by some activity plans and tendency to avoid the
evaluation of the seminars and round tables organized by consultants.
Some consultants shall improve the transparency of their activities. They are to
become more active in promoting the Service Provider and ACSA in the local mass
media, posting information on visible places in village halls, etc.
- 47 -

The gaps that have been identified in the activity of the local consultant have been
registered in the consultant's register of
services rendered to population, and
further discussed with the SP team.
Deadlines for improving the situation
were established depending on the
seriousness and difficulty of making
necessary changes. The monitoring
teams have also encouraged project
coordinators to work permanently with
the consultants from their team and help
them solve problems.
In general, the quality of the services provided by ACSA network of consultants has
been improved, as well as recording and planning of the activities. In addition, the
services rendered have been diversified and the access to these services increased.
Most offices are properly endowed for service provision and their location is mainly
adequate and accessible. There is progress in ensuring transparency of activity and
identifying target beneficiary groups by area.
At this moment, the World Bank contracted expert, Nico van Wageningen, in close
cooperation with ACSA Executive Directorate and RESU staff are developing the
concept of the integrated monitoring and evaluation system for the activity of ACSA
consultants. The goal of the system is to have instantaneous and quick access to
information on the activities of regional and local consultants and to decrease the
time necessary for paper work and increase focus on working with beneficiaries of
rural extension services. The concept of the integrated monitoring systems is an on-
line database on activities implemented by regional and local consultants, their
beneficiaries, general information on localities where regional and local ACSA
centers are located, etc. and ensuring the possibility of enhancing and increasing the
information flow between local, regional and national consulting centers. With respect
to these, the Bank's support on computerization of the network is just in time. Local
and regional consultants will be provided with office equipment for improving the flow
of information in the framework of the rural extension system as well as for improve
the process and results of the monitoring and evaluation of the network.
*** Any other additional information and source financial documents are available at
ACSA Executive Directorate and Service Providers offices.

RURAL BUISNESS DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT
The activities of the Rural Business Development Component (RBDC) are
implemented by the four DAs that implemented RISP I: Alliance for Cooperation in
Agriculture (ACA), Business Consulting Center (CCA), Rural Development Center
(RDC) and Mobile Expert Group in Agriculture (MEGA) which signed contracts with
the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI). Their contracts contain detailed
terms of reference for activities planned under this component, including budget and
financing offered for the period September 2006 June 30, 2010. According to the
Project Document, MAFI is responsible for the implementation of this component
while CAPMU is fully responsible for the coordination of the component. The DAs are
funded for the current phase of RISP according to the new financing mechanism,
based on results delivered, and is different from the first phase based on monthly
fixed payments. Thus DAs are stimulated to a greater extent to establish viable
businesses since a part of their financing is provided for post-creation support.
CAPMU developed a package of forms required by development officers (DOs) in
their work, including updates of forms used during RISP I. At the moment 10
development teams are involved in the implementation of RBD Component: 3 teams
within ACA and MEGA and 2 teams within RDC and CCA respectively. Most DOs
have worked under RISP 1.
General information on outcomes of DAs activities for the reporting period is
presented in the table below, while more detailed information is presented in
Annexes RBD 1-23.

PROMOTION CAPMAIGN
In the forth quarter of 2007 promotion activities were organized in 103 villages and
attended by 1996 people. (Chart 1) Thus, the cumulative figures are showing that a
total of 9637 persons from 468 villages have been informed about the RISP second
phase activities and opportunities until now.
While other DAs have greater results in business creation, CDR organized most
promotions in 187 villages having more than 4200 participants. CDR is followed by
CCA with a total of 105 villages covered by the promotion campaign with 1870
persons attained the promotion meetings.

As project foresees that the promotion campaign will be held in a total of 900 villages
of Moldova, we can state that at December 31st, 2007 50% of the villages have
already been involved in this campaign.
Most promotions were carried out in partnership with local public authorities, ACSA
national extension network consultants and savings and credit associations. These
promotions introduce the goal and objectives of the project, conditions of
participation, DAs' role in creating and supporting new businesses, funding
opportunities of investment projects, etc. All promotion meetings are accompanied by
distribution of information materials, including RISP II leaflets containing general
information on the project, the list of DAs and their contact information, the list of
project participating financial institutions (PFIs).
The number of promotion activities had a positive trend in the forth quarter of 2007,
starting with 28 villages in October, and reaching a number of 42 villages in
December 2007.
- 50 -

An important source of information on project conditions are RISP I beneficiaries.
They can be considered an example for potential beneficiaries of RISP II.
Chart RBD 1. Number of promotion activities
BUSIENSS CREATION
During the period October - December 2007 the four DAs have managed to assist 48
RBs in developing their business plans, this totaling to 283 RBs with their final
business plans with DA assistance.
217 businesses established
with the support of DAs have
started their operational
activity/implementation of
investment plan as of
December 31, 2007. Out of
them, 212 have received loans
from PFIs and 5 started
operating only with their own
resources. Overall, 220 RB
have received
Manufactureof wearing apparel, Glodeni
financing/credits from the PFI
and 8 of tem are still implementing the investment plan, with operational activity to be
started subsequently.
- 51 -

Chart RBD 2. Number of businesses with final business plans with DA assistance
The total business investments of these 217 businesses amounted to 5.7 mil. $.
Thus, the average investment made by operational businesses by December 31,
2007 is 26 000 $.
If referring to the amounts of
credits disbursed to 220 RB,
they are totaling a 3.6 mil. $, that
have been supplemented by the
beneficiaries contribution in
amount of apr. 3 mil. $. Thus,
the average loan disbursed to
RB is 16 000 $. This is
confirming somehow the status
of small business of the RB
created with the support of the
RISP, the target group of the
Milk collection and selling, v. Ciuciulea, Glodeni
project being reached.
MEGA has assisted in the creation of most of the RBS so far (83), followed by CDR
(56). For ACA and CCA this figure is 43 and 34 respectively.
Out of 217 businesses created, 204 are individual businesses, which represents
approximately 94% and only 13 RB are group businesses. To this end, group
businesses were considered businesses with 3 and more founders. This indicator,
compared with the one from the 2006, is showing an increase of the individual owned
businesses versus group ones.
- 52 -

Chart RBD 3. Number of businesses started implementing business plan
The legal form of the businesses that commenced implementation of their business
plan is mostly Limited Liability Company (82 RB) or Sole Proprietorship (78 RB).
These two types of businesses represent a 73% from the total/ operational RB. They
are followed by peasant farms (45) or about 20% from the total. There is one single
cooperative and 10 patent holders. As mentioned in previous reports, the number of
Patent holders is lessening as the State policy that is to limit this type of business
organization, and replacing it with other types.
The structure by the type of business, which started their operational activity, is
presented in Table RBD 2. The table below shows a big share of businesses being
non-agricultural (70%), which is matching with one of the project trigger to have at
least 1/3 of all new businesses created engaged in off-farm activities.
From the agricultural businesses (a total of 64), those with livestock production and
crop production have the greatest weight, with a total of 56 RB. The chart in the
Annex RBD 22 is showing a more simplified breakdown of Rural Businesses by type
of activity. As we can see, the categories of non-agriculture businesses are food
processing (6.5%), transport (12%), other services (6%). Almost half of the
manufacturing companies are food processing companies (43%), followed by
manufacture of other non-metal products (18%) and wood processing (12%), etc. It is
to be mentioned that the share of the RB involved in retail trade has decreases
considerably, from 39% in the first quarter of 2007, down to 16% in the forth quarter.
This is representing a positive trend, as during the last two Missions of the World
Bank team as well as at the CAPMU Supervisory Board meeting the agreement has
reached towards the making efforts as to minimize the share of retail businesses,
and setting a maximum limit for them at 20% from the total. As of December 31st,
- 53 -

2007, RISP is registering a 4% of the RB involved in wholesale trade and 16% - retail
trade.
A quarter of rural businesses being involved in retail trade can be explained by rather
small investments needed for this specific activity compared with production or
agricultural and non-agricultural services. And on the other hand, Moldovan rural
population is still facing the problem of lacking collateral when starting businesses
that require attracting capital from the financial institutions. This problem is main one
mentioned by the DAs in their quarterly reports.

FINANCING OF RURAL BUSINESSES
In the forth quarter of 2007 the DAs have signed 58 Service Agreements with the
beneficiaries. So far 254 credit applications were submitted to Financial Institutions
- 54 -

and 220 credits were already disbursed. 146 out of the credits disbursed are
provided from the RISP funds, 74 projects are financed from other sources.
As was mentioned above, 217 beneficiaries from the total number of contracts have
started the implementation of their Business Plans, elaborated in a joint effort with
the DOs. In 5 cases out of 217, the beneficiaries are starting the implementation of
their projects from their own sources, eventually considering accessing a loan at a
later stage.
The 217 businesses are located in all rayons but Anenii Noi. The maximum number
of businesses is in UTAG (28 RBs),
followed by Cahul, Edinet, Drochia and
Orhei with 19, 16, 12 and 11 RB
respectively. These rayons host more than
40% of businesses created so far. If
comparing regions by value of disbursed
credits, then UTAG is the first on the list
with over 4.3 million lei disbursed is
followed by Drochia with over 3.6 million lei
Production of furniture, Sarata Noua, Falesti,
and then Orhei with 2,65 million lei.
It should be mentioned that 178 out of 217 operational businesses have already
started to generate revenues. Also, 146 businesses were financed from RISP funds,
74 from other sources and 5 started implementation of the business plans from their
own resources. These 217 businesses created 736 jobs, which results in an average
of 3-4 jobs per RB.

MANAGEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM AND M&E
The analysis of the progress in the implementation of the RBD Component is
managed by means of the database application. The DAs were provided with the
application files from the beginning of their assignment. The functionality of the
database includes data integrity check and the generation of the progress reports.
On a monthly basis CAPMU is receiving the updated database files from the DAs
and the information regarding the credits disbursed within the Rural Finance
Component from the Credit Line Directorate (CLD). The information is crosschecked
with the DAs and the CLD.
CAPMU is regularly maintaining and updating the database, providing a more
enhanced functionality, both for the DAs and the generation of reports.
An application for the Credit Line Directorate was developed in July. The application
was submitted the CLD in the second half of July. The person responsible for this
application at CLD was trained to use it. The application is functional for data
introduction, verification of accuracy of introduced data, generating reports and
diagrams and managing information on monitoring carried out by CLD staff. The
application will smooth the process of introducing data, the transfer of data between
CLD and CAPMU as well as reporting, including quarterly reporting, to the World
Bank. But, in order for this application to operate efficiently, CLD should make sure
that the person responsible for this application will become an expert in Access data
bases, and CAPMU will provide necessary assistance as requested.
Rural businesses established with the assistance of the project are monitored both
by DAs and CAPMU. Development Agencies are in charge of carrying out monitoring
visits to verify the performance of businesses created as compared to a set of
indicators, which proved to be very useful during the first phase of the project. Thus,
the frequency of monitoring visits depends on the risk category assigned by DAs to
each business as a result of the last monitoring visit. Therefore, businesses in the
low risk category are monitored after 6 months from the last visit, those in the high
risk category in two weeks from the last visit, etc. In the annex RBD 4a one may
see the structure of businesses by risk categories. A set of indicators are collected in
order to record data on employees, average salary by gender or age, average salary
before project participation, etc. (Annex RBD 4a)
When visiting revenue generating rural business, DA consultants also collect
financial data on the business such as sales, profit margin, taxes and fees, VAT, etc.
- 56 -

In annex RBD 4a cumulative data on employment and taxes and fees paid are
presented.
CAPMU is monitoring DAs by regularly and randomly organizing monitoring visits to
RBs created with the support of all DA consultants. The goal of these visits, in
addition to assessing created businesses, is to estimate the quality of
assistanceprovided by DA consultants, especially, post-creation assistance, but also
the accuracy of eligibility criteria for project participation.
POST-CRATION SUPPORT TO RBS
All four DAs have already started
the post-creation support for the
Rural Businesses created. In the
forth quarter of 2007 35 RBs
have received post-creation
assistance from the DAs. The
total number of businesses
involved in DAs post creation
support is 178 out of 217
operational, each receiving 1 to 4
days of support depending on the
Producerea articolelor din palcaj, Causeni
necessity. So, 82% of the Rural
Businesses that commenced their
operational activity have already asked for the assistance. Most of the support has
been provided by MEGA with 283 days of post-creation so far. CDR and CCA have
provided 109 and 82 days respectively, and ACA - 28.
The breakdown of the post-creation support delivered to RBs by category is as

- 57 -

with an approximate equal distribution: legal issues, finance and accounting,
management and sales and marketing with 136, 124, 100 and 116 days respectively.
The technological area was required for only 26 post-creation assistance day. It
could be assumed that such a small number of days of technological support is not
the result of low demand from beneficiaries, but more due to the specialization of
development officers in 4 broad areas, but less in the technological one. In fact,
technological assistance and support is excellently provided by ACSA network.
ENVIRONMETAL TRAINING
In May June 2007 CAPMU has initiated a series of environmetal trening for the
development officers as well as for PFI credit officers. The training had the aim to
inform the stakeholders of the credit system in Moldova, and especially those
involved with RISP procedures, about the possible impacts of the rural business
diverse range of activities on the environment. Moreover, the training was to help
participants identify the mitigation measures for those impacts, based on specific
examples of RB created with the support of the project in the first phase.
The training has been organized by BIOTICA ecological society. A total of 10 gropus
of particiants have been trained over a period of 3 days each group. The topics
covered by the training included, interalia, the following:
§ Main impacts on water and land
§ Use of pastures and their pollution
§ Specific ienvironemtal impacts
§ National ecological legislation: Agriculture and busienss sector
§ World Bank environemtal policy: environental guidelines
§ Obtaining permissions for ceratin business activities
A total of 108 participants attained the trening sessions, including representatives of
CAPMU, DA, PFI and DLC. All participants have received handouts containing
legislation packages with laws and resolutions on environment, a guide for evaluating
a anking the level of risk of the busness activity (A, B or C), as well as a Reference
Manual on Environmental Assesment of the sub-projects within RISP.
Thus, the development officers have now a increased capacity to describe the
possible environmentyal impacts o in the business plan, and actually provide help
and advice also for the PFI staff.

The biggest share of sub-loans 52.03% are provided by PFIs for medium term (MT)
of 3 - 5 years, 30.49% of sub-loans - for long term (LT) having maturity between 5 - 7
years, 12.61% of sub-loans - for long term (LT) with maturity higher than 7 years (i.e.,
from 7 to 15 years). Just 4.85% of sub-loans granted for short term (ST) from 1 to 3
years, the fact that shows the availability of PFIs own credit resources for short term.
The distribution of sub-loans by the country region2. The financed sub-loans
cover all the country regions, with a relatively uniform distribution by number of sub-
loans financed. The most active are the central regions of the country having a share

Financing of first-time borrowers. One of the project objectives is to increase
access to finance rural areas, thus it is required that minimum 30% of the Credit Line
resources are provided to the first-time borrowers that didn't benefit from the formal
financial sector. According to the information of the PFIs presented so far, 47.5% of
- 64 -

the credit line recourses are provided to the first-time borrowers, which have no
previous experience of borrowing from the formal finance sector.
The other objectives. Another Project objective is creation of the new working
places in the rural area; so, with the Project financing contribution for the sub-loans
financed until now will be created about 988 new working places. It is important to
mention the participation of the women in the establishment of the business in the
rural area. Therefore, 37.5% of the managers of sub-loans financed are women.
Monitoring of sub-loans. With the view to PFIs fulfillment of Subsidiary Loan
Agreements conditions within the RISP Project and use of resources according to the
designated destination by beneficiaries, CLD monitored 90 (55%) of sub-loans out of
which 63 (or 43%) sub-loans were visited on site. Within monitoring of
MoldovaAgroindbank 17 sub-loans were selectively chosen, monitored and visited on
site. At Fincombank were verified 32 files out of which 19 were visited on site. At
Victoriabank 14 files were monitored and 9 were visited on site, at Mobiasbanca 13
sub-loans were monitored and visited on site. At Moldindconbank were examined 11
files and 9 sub-loans were visited on site. At Banca Sociala 3 sub-loans were
monitored and visited on site.
As a result of PFIs monitoring it was ascertained that not all the beneficiaries carry
out the procurement procedures correctly. The disbursements of the credit
resources by PFIs to the beneficiaries in some cases were delayed. Moreover, in
some cases the environmental review forms weren't completed properly, and in
some cases the environmental risk category wasn't attributed correctly. In most
cases the risk category C was attributed, which doesn't require taking mitigation
measures, while the risk category was B. Some PFIs didn't have the roll-over
accounts, in this way not respecting the art.13 of the Rural Investments Guidelines
(RIG) regarding the continuous evidence of the funds accumulated and not utilized
by PFIs for a continuous period of 3 months. The PFIs were informed regarding the
monitoring results.
Loan Evidence. With a view of ensuring the fulfillment of the requirements
stipulated by the Law of the Republic of Moldova nr. 419-XVI dated 22.12.2006 ,,On
the public debt, guarantees and public refinancing", for maintenance of the Public
register on the public refinancing ensuring monitoring and control of the participating
parties in refinancing from the public loan funds, likewise the organization of the
evidence of reflow loans granted to the financial intermediaries, CLD makes
accounting in separate analytical accounts opened in accordance with our
- 65 -

Accounting Policies for the year 2007. In order to avoid the risks, CLD accounts are
maintained in the National Bank of Moldova.
Daily accounting is made for all the entrances and withdrawals in and out of the
analytical accounts (with the distribution by loan currency); also the availability of
MDL and foreign currencies amounts is verified in CLD's accounts. At the end of
each quarter the generalization of all the economical-financial operations is made by
CLD for all the operations that were made during the quarter in the synthetic
accounts by creating all the reports related to the CLD's activity (including the
balance sheet) in accordance with the National Accounting Standards.
The reports on the refinancing resources of the CL and the balance of the PFIs debt
are presented quarterly to the Ministry of Finance.

Report Elaboration. In accordance with the conditions of the Rural Investments
Guidelines, PFIs present to the CLD quartery progress reports: (i) Report regarding
the Quality of the sub-loans Portfolio, (ii) Report regarding the Entrance and Use of
the funds from the roll-over account, (iii) Report regarding the financing of new
eligible sub-loans from the roll-over account in accordance with the reporting form
established by CLD and approved by World Bank.
Furthermore, CLD elaborated a number of analytical reports regarding the use of the
funds within the Project (Report on the disbursement and the balance of PFIs debt,
Report on the revolving funds disbursement and balance of PFIs debt, Report of
- 66 -

evidence of the approved sub-loans, Report of evidence of the disbursements made,
The list of the sub-loans monitored, Consolidated reimbursement schedule of the
principal amount, Interest rates graphics).
Financing of revolving funds accumulated from the principal amount and
interest reimbursement. With a view to ensure the continuity of the durable
realizations of the Project, following the accumulation of the interest and the
reimbursement of the principal amount by PFIs, the revolving funds were formed and
accumulated at the CLD accounts in NBM. Refinancing of the accumulated funds
will be done at similar conditions of Project's CL. Beginning October 26, 2007 3 sub-
loans amounting to 4 575 thousands lei (equivalent of 372 thousands USD) were
financed from the revolving funds. The average maturity of the granted loans is 8.3
years. The average interest rate applied by the PFI to the final beneficiaries
constitutes 16.44% including bank's margin. All the sub-loans financed from the
revolving funds are situated in the southern part of the country. Out of 3 sub-loans, 2
were allocated to the services branch and 1 - to trade sector.
Institutional capacities development for rural finance system.
Within the part C2 of the Project ,,Institutional capacities development for rural
finance system" CLD in collaboration with CAPMU organized training for the PFIs
employees for strengthening the institutional capacities for improvement of the credit
procedures of the investments projects, projects in agriculture and financial leasing.
Following the first round of training, 14 persons were trained from PFIs (i.e., from
Fincombank and Victoriabank) and CLD. The next round of training is planned to
take place on February 18, 2008.
Conclusions and Proposals. PFIs mentioned several times that the 100 thousand
USD limit for a sub-loan is insufficient and doesn't correspond to the beneficiaries
demand.
Regarding the procurement procedures of the goods and services in accordance with
the local practice to permit the selection of offers without the necessity of three
official proposals' evaluation for contracts having the equivalent less than 10
thousands USD (i.e., goods with well known prices, small local acquisitions,
procurement of spare parts for equipment, and prolongation of existing contracts,
etc).
- 67 -

With a view to facilitate the development of other branches of the rural sector (i.e.,
other than trade) and according to the World Bank recommendation, as of August 1,
2007 the financing of the trade sector is not encouraged until the percentage of this
sector will diminish to 20% (at the moment it constitutes 40.63 % from the total
disbursements out of the CL). In this way the financing of other industrial sectors will
increase, and creation of work places in other sectors including agriculture and rural
services will be promoted.
STRENGTHNING THE SAVINGS AND CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS INDUSTRY
The objective of this sub-component is to improve the legal, regulatory and
supervisory framework of the Savings and Credit Associations (SCA) industry, and
provide capacity building to the related institutions, primary the supervisory authority,
to ensure their long-term sustainability.
During the reporting period, continued the activities related to improvement of the
legal, regulatory and supervisory framework of SCA industry and some new activities
on building operational capacity of the new supervisory body were initiated.
IMPROVEMENT OF THE LEGAL, REGULATORY AND SUPERVISORY FRAMEWORK
For the proper execution of the new Law on SCAs, a set of supportive legal
documents were required to be developed. The project financed the activity of two
local consultants that assisted the specialists of the National Commission of Financial
Market (NCFM) to develop these regulations.
A. Regulation on the requirements towards the administrators of savings and
credit associations
The Regulation sets the minimum requirements regarding SCA's
administrators in order to insure a stable financial administration of
associations and, more specifically, minimize the risks of loosing members'
savings.

The requirements towards SCA's administrators include special requirements
regarding the level of qualifications, experience, studies, business reputation,
sibling connections, affinity and marriage and are grouped based on the
license category held by the association.
The provisions of the Regulation define the manner of confirmation in the
position, grounds for rejection of the application for confirmation as well as the
- 68 -

withdrawal of confirmations by the NCFM for persons previously approved in
the position of administrators for associations holding B or C licenses and
central association(s).
B. Regulation on assessment and approval of SCAs' business plan

Taking into the consideration the fact that the new Law on SCAs stipulates
that while applying for the issuance or re-issuance of license, the association
has to present to the NCFM for approval its business-plan for the next 3 years
of activity, specific common assessment criteria for business-plans were
development and integrated into a regulation.

In this way, the regulation establishes the drafting mode, assessment criteria
and business plan's approval procedure by the NCFM, being specified the
minimal requirements regarding the content, structure and form of the
business-plan, as well as regarding technical capacities and some
performance indicators for associations which intend to obtain a B license.
The identification of the minimal requirements for assessment and approval of
business-plans will allow the NCFM to take univocal decisions and
development of some realistic prognosis by the associations.

This Regulation has a temporary character and it is intended to be applied
until the licensing authority, according to the legislation, will become the
NCFM (October 01, 2008). After this date, will be applied the Regulation on
licensing of SCAs, that will take over the provisions stipulated in this
Regulation.
C. Regulation on issuance of notification for state registration of SCAs, including
the model Statutes

The goal of this Regulation is to establish a clear procedure for requiring and
issuance of notification for state registration of SCAs, the documents
necessary to be attached to the application for issuance of notification, the
reasons of rejection of application and the ways of informing of the
associations.
D. Regulation on licensing of SCAs

The Regulation includes norms that regulate the procedure of application for
and issuance of the license, licensing criteria, including the licensing
procedure for central association(s).
- 69 -

The Regulation was drafted for the situation in which the licensing authority is
NCFM, and respectfully it could be applied to associations after October 01,
2008.
E. Financial Prudential Norms

This document defines prudential and non-prudential standards for SCAs that
will hold A, B or C license and for the central association(s), as follows:
requirements on liquidity, assets and liabilities management and the
respective policy, loan policy, loan limits and provisions for loan losses,
writing-off of compromised loans and interests, transactions with affiliated
persons, investments and assets acquired in exchange of loan repayment
etc. Also, the Regulation sets out the institutional reserve composition as a
capital adequacy standard for A B C SCAs and central association(s),
referring to the minimum amounts set up in art. 33 of the Law on SCAs.
F. Draft of amendments to the National Accounting Standard 63 and Comments
to the NAS 63 and Chart of Accounts for the economic activity of enterprises
The necessity of amendment of the NAS 63 and of the Comments on its
application is due to their contradiction to the old Law on SCA nr.1505, the
new SCA Law nr. 139, the new Law on Accounting, as well to the actual
Financial Prudential Norms, approved in the late 2004 and recently abrogated
by the Government.

The Chart of accounts needs to be adjusted to SCAs necessities in recording
their operations and preparing financial reports, as well to comply with the
Ministry's of Finance general tendency of using a single chart of account by
different enterprises and organizations, no matter of their legal form or
proprietorship. The proposed amendments provide for change of the name of
certain accounts, introduction of new accounts of different classes
accompanied by methodology on their use.
G. Draft Decision of the MoF amending the Decision on approval and use of
Report of SCA on complying with the Financial Prudential Norms, no. 25 of
24.02.2006

The necessity of amendment of this document comes out of the new Law and
approval by the NCFM in the near future of the new Financial Prudential
Norms (mentioned above) that will replace the old Financial Prudential
Norms, approved by Government on June 28, 2004.
- 70 -

This draft sets out clear rules on filling in the above mentioned report, and
describes the way of calculation of indicators defined by the Financial
Prudential Norms.
H. Regulation on opening of branches and representative offices of SCAs

This Regulation is in compliance with the new SCA Law and is intended to
develop the legal framework of SCAs activity by setting out procedures for
opening of branches and representative offices of SCAs, and will be applied
both to new branches and representative offices and to new SCAs
established after reorganization.
I. Instruction on approval of SCA investment in securities of commercial entities

The draft stipulates the procedures for application, examination and approval
of the decision authorizing investments in commercial entities and the method
of informing the SCA about the taken decision.
SUPPORT TO THE NATIONAL COMMISSION OF FINANCIAL MARKET
During their assignment the consultants assisted the specialists of the NCFM on
other aspects related to legal, regulatory and supervisory framework of SCAs,
including examination and development of proposals, comments and objectives to
other laws and regulations and also advised the specialists on various aspects
related to their day-to-day work.
SAVINGS AND CREDIT ASSOCIATIONS' INVOLVEMENT IN MEDIUM AND LONG-TERM
INVESTMENT LENDING (A POJECT FINANCED BY THE SWISS AGENCY FOR DEVELOPMENT
AND COOPERATION SDC)
INTRODUCTION
The training project to support SCAs was implemented according to the Terms of
Reference under the Contract signed on June 29, 2005 between Swiss Agency for
Development and Cooperation (SDC) represented by the Cooperation office in
Chisinau, Consolidated Agricultural Projects Management Unit (CAPMU) and Rural
Development Centre NGO (RDC) concerning the granting of a contribution to the
Project "Savings and Credit Associations' involvement in medium and long-term
lending". These activities were implemented by RDC during the period of time
between July 01, 2005 and July 01, 2007 with an extension till August 31, 2007.
- 71 -

SCOPE OF WORK
The primary objective of the project is to improve significantly the access of the poor
rural population to medium and long-term investment funds and permanent working
capital. The project is also to contribute directly to the improvement of the institutional
capacity of Savings and Credit Associations (SCAs) and to strengthen, thus, the rural
microfinance system, build up capital assets in rural areas; contribute to poverty
alleviation and overall development of the rural sector.
The specific objectives of the project are to improve the overall financial sustainability
of SCAs and increase the efficiency of SCA loan portfolios by their diversification. It
was foreseen to provide training to mangers and employees of 200 strongest SCAs
in the network. The training is focused on analyzing the financial situation and
performance of SCAs, developing savings and loan products which would improve
the seasonality of the SCA loan portfolio, as well as contribute to increasing
operational flows in SCAs. The training should also cater for more diverse member
needs then what SCAs currently serve.
A training program was therefore developed and included the following topics:
- understanding of the SCA financial position
- business planning in SCAs
- new product development, including portfolio diversification
- marketing of SCA services
- liquidity and savings management (additionally agreed)
For assistance in the development of training materials, performance of training of
trainers to the local trainers, pilot training seminars and monitoring of training
delivery, Frankfurt School of Finance & Management (FS) was involved as consultant
to the project.
The content of each training module has been developed by FS together with RDC
and the local consultants, ensuring that the current issues for the SCAs are
addressed. While some of the issues addressed are possible for the SCAs to fully
practically apply first in 2008 when the new SCA law is in force (for example
development of products currently not allowed for SCAs, or larger scale of marketing
campaigns covering larger regions than one village), the main parts of the trainings
can be applied directly by the SCAs. A major focus has been laid on practical
application already in the seminars.
- 72 -

DEVELOPMENT OF TRAINING MATERIALS
The training materials were developed by Frankfurt School with support from the
RDC local experts. In a standardised way, the training materials contained:
- Detailed session guide, functioning as support for the local trainer providing the
training to the SCAs. The session guide contains the time plan, a list of media
and materials needed to be used for each part of the training. It also outlines
delivery methods as well as the main messages for each part of the training.
- Power point presentation/OH slides. The presentation is developed so that it
can be used either with Power Point or with OH slides
- Session summary, summarising the training in a reading document. The
summary is on the one hand developed as further reading for the participants to
refresh their knowledge. On the other hand, it also functions as a support for
the local trainers.
- Handouts, such as case studies, check lists etc. The handouts assist the trainer
to make the training interactive, participatory and practical.
After the development of the materials from the FS experts, the materials were
reviewed and amended by the RDC experts, ensuring a full adjustment to the
Moldovan context. All training materials were thereafter translated into Romanian. All
training materials are set up according to adult learning best practices, focusing on
active participation and practical examples
DIRECT SUPPORT IN FINALISING OF SCAS' BUSINESS PLANS
As mentioned above, besides the training on different topics, the project has provided
200 SCAs with training in development of a business plan. While the training
provided a first insight in the need of a proper business plan with short and long term
planning, the two day seminar could not be seen as sufficient for the SCAs to
independently develop their own business plans, as the absolute majority of the
SCAs had no written planning in place.
The 50 strongest SCAs were selected and offered support in writing a simple
business plan. Focused lied on developing a plan that on the one hand provided the
SCAs with enough information and plans to actually serve as a useful tool, and on
the other hand be simple enough to ensure that the SCAs later could independently
update the plan.
- 73 -

Each of the selected SCAs were visited at least twice, once for gathering of
information and discussions around the plans for the future, and next follow up times
to finalise the business plan and explain it for the SCAs.
Of the 50 SCAs, the FS expert was working with 15 SCAs together with the local
trainers. A frame for the business plans were set up and the local trainers were
coached in how to work with there SCAs. Thereafter, the local trainers finalised the
work with the remaining 35 SCAs.
Already during the first steps, it became clear that this support to the SCAs were
much needed while the training had provided them with knowledge on the different
steps of setting up a business plan, there was a clear lack of capacities for the actual
development of the business plan within the SCAs. The support of the experts, both
from FS and RDC, was therefore needed to a larger extent than previously assumed.
Also the lack of computer skills among the SCA staff, which also are not used to
writing texts, made the work time-consuming. Most of the SCAs needed support both
in the analysis and strategic planning as well as the actual writing of the plan, by
hand and with computers.
Nevertheless, the business plans were finalised for the SCAs, who much appreciated
the possibility to think strategically about their future. These plans will ease the
procedure of obtaining the operational license under the new law each SCA will
have to develop its own business plan in order to get the operational license.
Supported SCAs have over the project gained more insight into the need of a
business plan. Many of them have expressed that they only now realised the
importance of having their plans gathered in a document. While many of them have
ideas on what they want to achieve in the future, no one had anything in written
before starting the project.
The coaching of the local trainers took place mainly through on-the-job training the
local trainers were visiting the SCA together with the FS expert and were thereafter
working on the business plans together with the FS expert. In parallel, they worked
with the additional 35 SCAs independently and finalised successfully the work.
COACHING AND MONITORING OF LOCAL TRAINERS
At the start of the project in 2005, the local trainer pool had little exposure to
interactive training, functioning as facilitators and using the experience of the
participants. Instead, most of them were used to a more lecturing style of trainings.
FS has therefore ongoing worked with coaching of the local trainers during their
trainings.
- 74 -

For the next phase, the 12 strongest trainers among the original 24 were selected to
perform the trainings. These trainers were also further coached during the project life
time to further develop their training skills. They have participated in the second
training methodology seminar.
The coaching and monitoring rather rapidly set a focus on those trainers that needed
additional support. By early 2007, all the 12 trainers had reached a high level of
training skills the trainers had during one year made a remarkable improvement in
their role as trainers. This can also be seen in the level of independence of the
trainers, their own adjustments and ideas for the training materials, and the feedback
and active participation of the participants in the training. Due to the high skill level
reached by the trainers, the FS expert concluded the coaching already in March
2007. All trainers were provided with a certificate on the course. With these 12
trainers, RDC have an excellent trainer pool that should be used for training and
updates of training materials also in the future.
As a part of the set up of this local trainer pool, a set up of standardised training
materials were developed. The idea behind the work was to create a set of training
material standards for RDC with instructions attached to it. For trainings to be
developed by RDC in the future, the materials will be developed according to these
standard forms. The package of materials is done in line with the already developed
materials and includes session guide, session summary as well as formats for Power
Point presentations, handouts and case studies. Additionally, a short instruction gives
guidance to the most important issues to consider in the development of training
materials. The drafted formats were discussed shortly with the local trainers and
were adjusted thereafter to the current needs.
IMPACT AND NEED ASSESSMENT
To see the outcome of the provided trainings, it was agreed with SDC to perform a
small impact assessment. To perform an impact assessment only after training has
been performed is normally risky in terms of being provided with proper and honest
answers from the answering organisations. It is usually difficult for SCA to remember
what was done before the training and thereafter. Many might also have a need to
show their capacities, overestimating their capacities before the training. This was,
for example, seen in the section about business planning, where a majority of the
SCAs answered that some sort of business planning was in place already before the
training. During the work with the business plans, however, it became clear that none
of the participating SCAs had worked with business planning earlier. Any results
- 75 -

therefore have to be taken more as an indicator to how useful the training was for the
SCAs than a clear indicator on the impact.
Additionally, the impact assessment was combined with a need assessment to set up
a frame for the continuation of the project. The assessment took place in April and
May 2007. A separate report on the outcome was presented to SDC.
Methodology:
The assessment was being implemented in three steps:
1) Questionnaire to SCAs
Questionnaire to 30 SCAs (distributed over the regional centres). Focus group was
larger SCAs that are expected to expand once the new law is in place.
2) Interviews with SCAs
Direct meetings and interviews with 5 larger SCAs.
Additional direct input from FS Business Planning expert during visits to the SCAs.
3) Meeting with stakeholders
Meeting with stakeholders in the sector - RFC, RDC, SDC and CAPMU. The aim of
these meetings was mainly to discuss new steps of the programme.
Outcome:
As mentioned, an impact assessment taking place after the training programme can
of course not provide such an accurate result as an impact assessment that takes
place already from the beginning of the programme. However, it can show the trends
in the SCAs when it comes to the impact of the training programme. Both the
questionnaire and the discussions with the SCAs confirmed the importance of the
selected topics in the training programme. It also clearly shows that the trainings
have had an impact on the SCAs work in the respective topics. It can therefore be
concluded that the training programme has provided important input to further
strengthen and upgrade the work of the SCAs.
The discussions with the stakeholders confirmed that there is a need for further
support to the SCAs in Moldova if they are to remain as organisations also in the
future. The new law will force the SCAs that aim to be in the B-type or higher to
gradually increase the professionalism of their operations. At the same time, there
are at this point no direct plans for support to the SCAs to manage these changes.
The World Bank RISP programme will support the set up of the central SCA, and has
- 76 -

also declared that they need to assist SCAs who want to upgrade their operations.
However, no concrete plans for such a support seem to exist and the World Bank
welcomed the support from SDC in this matter.
From the SCAs themselves, the outspoken needs are much more concrete, focusing
on the problems today. One of the main issues that need to be addressed also to
ensure a development perspective for the SCAs, is to make them computer literate. It
is our experience that this is the most outspoken training demand from SCAs in all
informal discussions that has taken place during the last two years in the project. The
discussions with the SCAs have also pointed out a need for further support in legal
aspects, including proper registration of collateral as well as support during the
foreseen organisational changes needed under the new law.
Additionally, the impact assessment shows that while the trainings provided have had
an impact on the participating SCAs, they are not enough to ensure that the SCAs
are independently managing the issues addressed in the trainings. A follow up with
practical support is therefore needed to ensure a more extensive impact of the
training programme.
CONCLUSIONS AND LESSONS LEARNED
At the end of this phase, the targets of the period have all been reached. The number
of SCAs involved in the project was 200, total number of persons trained 600. 50
strongest SCAs have been trained in business planning, liquidity and savings
management. As for previous training, the feedback from the participants has been
very positive and the training has been seen as useful and necessary. Also the work
with the business plans have been very well received as mentioned earlier. It can
therefore be concluded that the project has been successfully completed.
RDC now have a well-trained pool of trainers to draw on with strong skills in
successful training of adults. Additionally, the developed training material standards
can be used by RDC to ensure a standardised library of training materials in the
future.
All training materials and trainings conducted have been done with a gender
mainstreaming perspective, trying to ensure equal participation between men and
women and materials focusing equally on men and women. During the training of
trainers, all participants equal participation has been discussed. The coaching of
local trainers has partly focused on how to get passive persons active in a group and
how to ensure that not one or a few people take over among the participants.
- 77 -

Computer illiteracy: the lack of computer skills among the SCAs creates a severe
bottleneck in their future development. When discussing with the SCAs, this has also
been the top priority for them for further training. It would be needed to start with
computer training in an early stage of the next project phase.
The staff in the SCAs is usually very committed to their work. However, most of them
have other work, own farms etc. Therefore their time is limited, which has an impact
on their availability. For a more extensive technical assistance programme, we would
therefore recommend to let the SCAs interested in support to apply for inclusion in
the programme. This would ensure an active participation from all parts.
RECOMMENDATIONS FOR NEXT PHASE
The current actions under the project were strained by the delays in the acceptance
of the new SCA law and the law on the mega-regulator. With the new law finally
being in place, this will also hopefully lead to changes in the SCA sector, which are
vital for the future growth and sustainability of the sector. The changes will, however,
require those SCAs who are interested in further expansion to also upgrade their
operations and need support in a foreseen set up of branches or mergers with
smaller SCAs.
The class-room training programme set up so far has addressed issues of urgency
for the SCAs today and has provided a first insight into issue that has so far not been
addressed at all by the SCAs. During the now ending phase, the project has also
supported the SCAs through direct support/technical assistance to ensure
implementation of the knowledge gained in the training. While class room training in
shorter seminars can be a good eye-opener for larger numbers of the SCAs, it needs
to be complemented with direct on-the-job support in a second step. This will to an
even larger extent be needed after the new law is in place.
FS and RDC would therefore, in line with the outcome of the need assessment,
suggest a further support to the SCAs through three main activities. The timing of
support need to be differentiated between measures that can be started straight
away, and those that need to await the new law in place.
1) Computer training
§ General computer literacy (Word, Excel, Internet).
Stage 1: class-room training of 200 SCAs
Stage 2: coaching and further training of the 50 strongest SCAs
- 78 -

§ Training in more advanced use of computers, including accounting of the 50
strongest SCAs.
The lack of computer literacy is one of the major bottlenecks for continued
development of the SCAs. For set up of future branch networks or more advanced
analysis tools, it is needed that the SCAs can work with computers.
It is foreseen that this support will be provided by RDC without additional expertise
from Frankfurt School.
2) Support in promotion of savings and savings and liquidity management
The provided support at this phase for the development of business plans has shown
that the SCAs often need additional support to also fully use the content of the
training. We therefore suggest providing the 50 strongest SCAs with direct support in
form of experts visiting them to locate problems and find tailor-made solutions for the
SCA.
All SCAs should be visited by an expert for review of current procedures,
identification of weaknesses and bottlenecks and development of suggestions for
improvements/action plan. The division of work should be set up in the same way as
the current support in business planning, i.e. the FS expert will work with a smaller
part of the SCAs together with the RDC experts. The RDC experts will thereafter
provide the remaining SCAs with support independently.
3) Institutional consolidation programme.
The new SCA law will bring new opportunities for SCAs to expand. At the same time,
a majority of the SCAs today currently lack the skills to fully address these upcoming
issues. It is planned that each SCA under the new law will have to apply to one of the
following categories of licenses:
§ The A-licensed SCA can only accept physical persons into membership, and
can only provide loans to members. The license is limited to one village.
§ The B-licensed SCA can accept only physical persons as members, but can
provide both loans and savings. The license will be regionally limited.
§ The C-licensed SCA can also have legal persons as members and provide all
types of financial services. The SCA with a C-license can operate all over the
country.
It is clear that when the new law is in place, the stronger SCAs will need support in
the merging/take over process. A possible branch network will among others require
- 79 -

the SCAs to look over their operational set up, their loan assessment processes and
their reporting. The new law will also give them new opportunities for development of
new products and further expansion.
We would therefore opt for the set up of an institutional consolidation programme for
the strongest SCAs under the conditions of the new law. The programme should
focus on those SCAs that are taking the lead in the consolidation process and
therefore can be expected to be the future remaining larger SCAs. We would suggest
a project set up where the SCAs actively apply for participation in the programme.
Additionally, we would suggest focusing on a smaller number of SCAs and providing
more in-depth support. SCAs with the intention to be registered as a "B" under the
new law can apply to be included.
A capacity programme of this kind would be more extensive than previous support
provided from SDC. It would require more staff, both from FS and RDC: While RDC
has a very strong track-record in training, this type of support would be more new for
them. Therefore, it would be important to ensure an intensive presence of the FS
experts in the beginning of the project, phasing out over the project lifetime.
The support is suggested to include:
Support in organisation and management for merging SCAs, including design of a
new organisational structure, set up of branch network, reporting, job descriptions,
credit policies and procedures etc.
Support in legal issues, such as changes of the statues and internal regulations,
registration of collateral and loan file documentation.
Training/ On-the-job coaching of SCA staff in analysis of clients, including
development of a loan analysis tool.
Direct support/coaching in product development, including marketing measures for
the new products.

can be made available for the field work in the pilot locations.
- 81 -

5. Establish framework principles to ensure that there are no adverse
environmental impact from project activities.
6. Develop and carry out a training program.
7. Develop a public awareness campaign.
8. Assist the pilot communities to establish a local stakeholder committee in
each of the project sites, and ensure that they are integrated in the process.
9. Review and if necessary revise ownership maps for the baseline situation in
each village (prepare Plan 1).
10. Conduct preliminary investigations and prepare and disseminate area
development plans for each site.
11. Develop and put in place an approach for valuation of land in the project
areas.

13. Prepare final re-parceling plans (Plan 2).
14. Develop and apply simplified procedures for registration and implementation
of agreements.
15. Assist local stakeholders and landowners in registration process and
obtaining of new land titles.
16. Organize two study tours in one western and one eastern European country
with successful experiences in land re-parceling / land consolidation.
17.
Describe implementation experiences and recommend national level
approach.
A project implementation plan has been elaborated during the inception period
(Annex Rep 1). This work plan gives the timeline of project activities, staff
assignment and reporting.
PROJECT ACTIVITIES IMPLEMENTED DURING THE INCEPTION PERIOD
During the inception period (August October 2007) the project implementation has
been prepared. Main project activity has been activity 1) Finalize the selection of six
pilot communities and ensure that they meet the selection criteria in the ToR. In
addition project activities 2, 3 and 4, 8 have been implemented together with the
prepatory part of activity 6 (training program). Activity 7 (public awareness campaign)
has been launched during the inception period and will continue through-out the
project period (see the respective sections below). Activity 8 (assist in establishing
local stakeholder committee) has been implemented in the six pilot communities
during the first village project workshops in October 2007. Finally activity 9
(preparation of ownership map Plan 1) and activity 10 (Preliminary investigations
and preparation of area development plans) were launched at the end of the
inception period (during the mission of the international experts in the period 7-12
October, 2007).
- 82 -

The main result of the work during the inception period has been the final selection of
six pilot communities and the establishment of the project organization. Further has
the inception period provided the necessary knowledge and understanding of context
and key issues and resulting adjustments and fine tuning of the project
implementation plan.
PROJECT ACTIVITIES
In the following sections of this chapter 3, each of the planned and implemented
project activities will be described and explained in details. The main purpose is to
turn the proposed approach into operation and provide a practical guide for the
implementation with specified roles and contributions for the involved institutions and
individuals.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 1: FINALIZATION OF THE SELECTION OF PILOT COMMUNITIES
The selection of 6 very suitable pilot communities was crucial for a successful
implementation of the project. This first project activity was started by MAFI before
the beginning of the project, 1. August, 2007.
Criteria and process for selection of pilot communities
The Terms of Reference for the project (section D) specifies 15 criteria of importance
for the selection of the six pilot communities. These are, not in order of priority:
1. Existence of family farms with potential for commercial farming and a desire
to form contiguous parcels and eventually enlarge the farms..
2. Fragmentation of parcels.
3. An existing land market (presence of both potential sellers and buyers).
4. Current and reliable land price information or a robust alternative for valuing
land.
5. Public land available (through sales and exchange) to catalyze the process.
6. A relatively small number of absentee owners.
7. A high level of completion of land reform / privatization and registration of land
ownership (on a national level, 85 % of rural properties registration is
expected to be completed by summer 2007).
8. A relatively high level of satisfaction among local landowners and
stakeholders with the privatization process and outcome.
9. Few land disputes and no problematic ones.
- 83 -

10. Soil with good potential for agricultural production.
11. Location within a designated economic growth area of the country (land re-
parceling can be linked to other development activities, including locations
participating in other RISP-II components).
12. Existence of digital cadastral maps and other thematic maps.
13. Plans / measures for sustainable local rural development and infrastructure
improvement.
14. Initiative and commitment from local government, including the willingness
and capacity of the Mayoralty Secretary to provide notary services for a
reduced fee.
15. Potential availability of local expertise in land re-parceling design and land
use planning (e.g. former staff of the USAID LPSP project or government
Planning Institute for Land Management).
Prior to the first mission of the project manager and the team leader during 1. 4.
July, 2007, the selection process was started by MAFI. The Council in each raion
was during the spring 2007 by MAFI invited to propose each three candidate
locations for the pilot communities of the project. According to MAFI, the raions were
asked to appoint the candidate communities based on the above mentioned criteria
in the ToR. Based on this, a list of 100 candidate communities was elaborated.
Subsequently and still prior to the project start, MAFI prepared a so-called "short-list"
of 17 villages based on the list of 100 villages / communities. A document was
prepared to try to show how these 17 communities meet the selection criteria.
During the July mission of the PM and TL the procedure for the finalization of the
selection process was agreed with MAFI (note dated 9. July, 2007, included as
Annex Rep 2). The main steps agreed to do before the first official project mission
27. August 5. September, 2007, were to:
· Ensure an open and transparent selection process.
· Add additional criteria for the selection.
· Amend the so-called "short-list" with additional villages from the initial list of
the 100 villages in order to be sure to have enough good villages on the
shortlist before the final selection.
· Collect more detailed information about the short listed villages.
· Develop an evaluation method to rate the villages against the criteria.
- 84 -

· Visit each of them to validate the collected information and (if necessary) add
additional information / description of the situation in the village.
Additional criteria
The PM and TL together with Mr. O.Horjan and Mr. D.Sevcenco and staff from ACSA
(sub-contractor) visited during 3. July, 2007, two of the 17 candidate villages on the
first shortlist; Opaci village and Tocuz village, both in Causeni raion, to get first hand
information and to validate the collected information on how these villages meet the
selection criteria. The team met with the mayor and staff at the Mayor's office in both
villages together with the Head of Agricultural and Food Industry Department from
raion I. Gluh and local farmers.
During this visit, it became clear to the contractor that it will be necessary to add
additional criteria for the selection and also to collect more detailed information on
how the short listed villages meet the criteria.
In Tocuz village it turned out that there is an unclear situation in relation to land
ownership / use of parcels. During the privatization, the villagers each were allocated
one parcel of arable land, one parcel of orchard and one parcel of vineyard.
However, the villagers decided to further sub-divide the parcels after species of trees
and type of grapes. This has resulted in the present situation where each landowner
use 3-4 parcels of orchard (e.g. apple, plum and pear) and 3-4 parcels of vineyard.
This was never registered on the cadastral maps and in the land register. Before a
land re-parceling project can begin in the village, it would be necessary to register the
actual situation with the high degree of fragmentation or alternatively to agree with
the villagers that they should go back to using the land parcels which they have the
title to. In Tocuz village around 800 hectares are affected by this problem. In relation
to the selection of pilot communities, such an unclear situation should be avoided.
The collected information to assess to which degree the 17 already "short-listed"
villages meet the selection criteria did not indicate this serious situation. Therefore
more detailed information is necessary in form of a short description of the actual
situation in relation to unclear ownership to the land parcels .During discussions in
Opaci and Tocuz villages, it was confirmed to the contractor that many villages in
Moldova are dominated by big corporate farms that use (mainly through lease
agreements) from 300 2000 hectares or more, often in more than one village.
Development of private family farms, which are the main target group of the land re-
parceling project, is very difficult in villages dominated by such corporate farms.
Therefore an additional selection criteria has been added:
- 85 -

16. Absence of big corporate farms in the village.
Method to rate the proposed villages against the criteria
The contractor has together with MAFI developed an evaluation sheet in order to be
able to evaluate to what extent the villages match the now 16 different selection
criteria. The candidate villages can score up to 100 points on 11 different issues. For
some issues in the interval 0-15 (the most important issues) for other issues in the
interval 0-10 and 0-5. The evaluation process has been carried out by the
established technical Working group. It has been the intention to make the evaluation
as thorough and objective as possible but also taking into consideration that limited
time has been available. It was important for both the contractor and MAFI to finalize
the selection process during the first official mission of the international experts
(August-September 2007) in order to launch the project activities in the field. A note
on the evaluation method is included as Annex Rep 2.
Finalization of the selection process
During July and August, the activities agreed on the July mission of the PM and TL
were carried out by MAFI together with ACSA. At the beginning of the first official
project mission of the international experts on 27. August, 2007, a second shortlist of
20 candidate villages had been prepared by MAFI and ACSA, who also had visited
the short listed villages to validate the collected information and to collect further
information when necessary. The Technical Working Group of the project met on 29.
August 2007 and evaluated the 20 villages short listed with the use of the above
mentioned evaluation sheet. During the evaluation process, five villages were
excluded from the shortlist, either because of:
a) a large number of land disputes / geodetic errors;
b) very large number of absentee owners;
c) lack of interest and commitment from local government.
The 11 best villages were selected and visited again by the Technical Working
Group during four days of the mission. Finally the Technical Working Group made
the final evaluation and selected the six best villages on the 4. September 2007 and
they were confirmed by Minister A.Gorodenco at a meeting on 5. September, 2007.
The selected villages are:
-
Busauca village, Rezina Raion (North)
- 86 -

-
Sadova village, Calarasi Raion (Central)
-
Bolduresti village, Nisporeni Raion (Central)
-
Calmatui village, Hincesti Raion (Central)
-
Opaci village, Causeni Raion (South)
-
Baimaclia village, Cantemir Raion (South)
PROJECT ACTIVITY 2: IN COOPERATION WITH MAFI, ESTABLISH THE FRAMEWORK FOR A
PROJECT STEERING COMMITTEE
A high level Project Steering Committee has been established according to
Governmental order no. 416 of 17. April, 2007 to ensure a smooth implementation of
the project, and to coordinate the interest of the different line ministries. The
committee is chaired by Mr. Anatolie Gorodenco, Minister of Agriculture and Food
Industry. This high level steering committee has (as of December 2007) not yet met,
but the Minister has informed the members about the project and start up of project
activities.
To supervise and coordinate the practical project implementation, a Technical
Working group has been established by decree of Minister A.Gorodenco (Annex Rep
3). Members of the Technical Working Group are key experts from MAFI, ALRC,
CAPMU, ACSA and the contractor. The Working Group is chaired by Mr. Stefan
Calancea, former Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry. The Technical
Working Group has met twice during both missions of the international experts in the
inception period (August / September and October 2007) and in the period between
the missions when it was necessary monthly. The Working group is coordinating the
on-going project activities between the contractor and MAFI. The Technical Working
Group played a key role during the finalization of the selection of the pilot
communities. It is the assessment of the contractor that the establishment of the
Technical Working Group will be a very important tool for the ongoing implementation
of project activities. Good working relations have been established between MAFI
and the contractor during the inception period. The work in the Technical Working
Group has contributed considerable to this.

PROJECT ACTIVITY 3: ASSIST GOM IN IDENTIFYING INTERNATIONAL BEST PRACTICE FOR
DEVELOPING COOPERATION PROCEDURES FOR THE PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
(BETWEEN MAFI, OTHER GOVERNMENT AGENCIES AND LOCAL GOVERNMENT
The procedures for cooperation between the major project stakeholders (MAFI,
Cadastre Agency and local government) have been identified during the inception
period based on experiences from other similar international projects. A number of
initiatives have been put forward to ensure a smooth project implementation and
cooperation between the main stakeholders.
A high level Project Steering Committee has, as mentioned, been established with
representatives from the different relevant government institutions to ensure the
overall coordination of the project implementation. The daily work is coordinated
through the established Technical Working Group.
A memorandum of understanding for the cooperation between CAPMU, MAFI and
the Cadastre Agency has been concluded and the contractor has subsequently
signed a contract with the Cadastre Agency for purchase of cadastre data and
register information from the SI "Cadastre". At the regional level, the Raion
Agricultural Departments have been involved in the selection of the pilot villages. The
deputies of these departments are normally responsible for land re-parceling
activities in the raion and will act as liaison between the raion administration and the
project implementation. Staff from the involved raions is participating in the training
seminars.
Support and initiative from the Primaria's office in the six selected villages is crucial
for a successful project implementation of the pilot activities in the villages. This has
been one of the most important criteria for selection of the villages. To ensure the
good cooperation with the Primaria's office in the six villages, the contractor has
signed an agreement of cooperation with each of the Primaria's. This took place at
the project launch workshop in Chisinau on 10. October, 2007. An example of the six
identical agreements is included as Annex Rep 4. The agreement specifies the task
and responsibilities of both the Primaria's office and the contractor in relation to the
project implementation in the village.
A national project office has been established in the MAFI building in Chisinau (room
303) to ensure the daily coordination of activities between MAFI and the contractor.
The deputy team
- 88 -

leader, working full time on the project, is based here during the project period
together with the project assistant.
In each of the pilot villages, a local project office is established during October
November 2007. These local offices will be the base for the three local team
members throughout the project period and serve as a focal point for the project in
the village where the villagers, landowners and farmers can get in contact with the
project team. The local offices are being equipped with telephone, fax, PC and printer
by the contractor.
Also office of the Land Re-parceling Component Coordinator Mr.O.Horjan has been
established in the MAFI building in Chisinau (room 311) which was equipped with
telephone, PC, INTERNET and printer.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 4: DEVELOP AN OVERALL CONCEPT FOR HOW DATA FROM THE LAND
REGISTER OF THE ALRC can be made available for the field work in the pilot
locations
The overall concept for making data from the land register available for the project
has been developed during the inception period. The Land re-parceling process shall
be based on reliable and up to date cadastral information provided by ALRC. A
memorandum of cooperation was already concluded between CAPMU, MAFI and
ALRC before the start of the project in August 2007 according to which ALRC is
obliged to provide the contractor with the required information.
The cadastre agency owns digital cadastral maps in MapInfo format, while
registration data are provided in Arc View format. These two formats are not directly
compatible to each other. This means that updated information cannot be reflected in
both databases automatically. Therefore, identification of the ownership of land
parcels will have to be done manually. The contractor (Niras) has in October 2007
signed a contract with ALRC for purchase of cadastral maps (printed and in
electronical form) and register information from the land register. These data will be
used to prepare ownership maps (Plan 1) for each pilot village.
Cadastral data on pilot locations are available digitally and as a hard copy. Digital
maps in MapInfo format and registration records in Excel format is being provided on
CDs. Hard copy maps has been printed out for each village separately. The Cadastre
Agency has provided the plots of cadastral maps in scale 1:2.000 and plotted in A0
and A1 format. The six pilot villages are covered by 149 cadastral sectors. In total 60-
70 maps in A0 and A1 format have been plotted. The land parcels on the maps are
- 89 -

marked by the last 3 digits of the (10 digit) cadastral code as the first 7 digits (raion,
zone, massif and sector) are the same for all parcels on one sheet.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 5: ESTABLISH FRAMEWORK PRINCIPLES TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
NO ADVERSE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FROM PROJECT ACTIVITIES
The main objective of the project is to contribute to the development of the
agricultural structures in the pilot sites through reduction of fragmentation of parcels,
enlargement of farm sizes and development of the family farms. All countries in
Western Europe have been through the same process since the end of World War II.
The result in most countries has been agricultural structures that are competitive in a
globalizing economy. However, a side-effect in many countries has been a decline in
valuable types of nature and loss of biodiversity.
It is very important to avoid that the re-parceling pilots can lead to a similar
development in the pilot villages. Framework principles will be established to ensure
that there is no adverse environmental impact from project activities. The project
activity shall have as an output that the field teams in each village can prepare a brief
environmental impact assessment (EIA) as an integrated part of the project activities
in the pilot villages. This activity will be implemented together with the elaboration of
a community area development plan for each pilot (see project activity 10).
According to the ToR for the project and also the Technical proposal presented by
Niras (January 2007) it was foreseen that activity 5 was to be implemented during the
inception period. The EIA is closely related to the up-start of the field activities in the
six pilot sites, which has not started before at the end of the inception period.
Therefore, the activity will be implemented immediately after the inception period
between November 2007 and February 2008. An international EIA expert will
together with the TL be responsible for the activity that will be carried out by each
field team together with project activity 10.
The international EIA expert at the second training seminar in November 2007
provided training and guidelines / checklist for assessment of the environmental
impact of project activities. The expert will evaluate and supervise the activities at a
second mission scheduled for January 2008.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 6: DEVELOP AND CARRY OUT A TRAINING PROGRAM
A well prepared training program is an essential precondition for successful
implementation of land re-parceling projects in six villages in Moldova. According to
Terms of Reference (section F) task 6 of the project is to Develop and carry out a
- 90 -

program of training for Moldovan counterparts and team members. Again according
to Terms of Reference (section G), the training program is supposed to be developed
as part of Group 1 activities immediately after the Inception Period. The contractor
has however developed the training program already during the Inception Period of
the project. This has made it possible to carry out the first training seminar
immediately after the recruitment / appointment of the six field teams in October
2007. The first training seminar was held on 10. October, 2007, in connection with
the project launch workshop with a total of 70 participants. The second training
village seminar on screening for environmental impact of the pilots was held on
Chisinau on 23.November, 2007.
The training program is based on international best practice for implementation of
land re-parceling / land consolidation pilot projects. The Food and Agriculture
Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has prepared training materials for land
consolidation pilot project. The training materials (text part and PowerPoint
presentations) are based on experiences from land consolidation pilot projects in
Lithuania and Armenia prepared by Mr. David Palmer, FAO Land Tenure Service,
with assistance from the team leader Mr. Morten Hartvigsen
Concept and target group for training program
It is not the intention of the contractor to carry out a regular training needs
assessment (TNA) as part of the project. The reason for this is, that the contractor
(Orbicon) has experience in implementation of similar land re-parceling / land
consolidation projects and the connected training and capacity building from similar
projects in Lithuania, Armenia and Croatia.
The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry (MAFI) has expressed an interest in
extending the training program to involve not only the directly involved stakeholders
and institutions. The background for this is a wish from MAFI to train as many as
possible for the planned future scaling up of the pilot activities to a national land re-
parceling / land consolidation program.
Two different target groups have thus been identified for the training:
· Staff at institutions and counterparts directly involved in the implementation of
the six land re-parceling pilot projects.
· Staff from local and central Government not directly involved in
implementation in the six pilot locations (e.g. staff from Raion Agricultural
Departments in raions not selected for the pilots, etc).
- 91 -

Training and supervision of directly involved stakeholders and counterparts
The training is carried out through a combination of class room training and on-going
supervision of the field teams. The class room training is given by the international
experts during 5 training seminars spread over the project period, each time
introducing the next activities of the field work.
The main target group for the training program is the six field teams, relevant staff of
MAFI, central and local staff of the Agency for Land Relations and Cadastre (ALRC)
and local Government (both at raion and village level). It is expected that 40 50
people directly involved in project implementation will be trained during the project.
Objectives of training program for directly involved stakeholders and counterparts
The training shall give the field teams and MAFI the necessary skills to implement the
pilots. The training will give important contribution to capacity building in the field of
land re-parceling / land consolidation and can thus build the basis for a subsequent
national program for land re-parceling / consolidation (scaling up based on pilot
experiences).
The training seminars will also serve as an important part of teambuilding and
dissemination of experiences between the six field teams and the national level
experts (both from the contractor and MAFI).
Content of training program for directly involved stakeholders and counterparts
The main basis for the training program will be the FAO training materials mentioned
above. The FAO materials consist of 12 units (text part and PowerPoint for each
unit):
1. The general concept of land consolidation pilot projects.
2. Selection of a community for the pilot project.
3. Public awareness campaigns.
4. Inventory of cadastral and registration records at the start of the project ("plan 1").
5. Situational analysis and needs assessment.
6. Community area development planning.
7. Starting negotiations with landowners and other stakeholders.
8. Valuation of land parcels.
9. Draft re-allotment plan ("plan 2").
10. Finalization of re-allotment plan ("plan 2").
11. Registration and implementation of the signed agreements of transfer.
- 92 -

12. Results of the project.
In addition to the FAO materials the following issues will be covered in the class room
training:
1. The concept of voluntary and market based land re-parcelling
2. Experiences with land re-parcelling / land consolidation in Central and
Eastern European countries during the last 15 years.
3. Practical experiences from land consolidation pilot projects in Lithuania,
Armenia and Croatia.
4. Western European land consolidation practise.
5. Environmental impact assessment.
The training materials have been translated into state language.
The class room training will be conducted through 5 training seminars spread over
the 18 month project period and each time introducing the up-coming activities of the
next period. According to the Project Implementation Plan (Annex Rep 1), the training
seminars are tentatively scheduled for:
1. Training seminar: October 2007
2. Training seminar:
November 2007
3. Training seminar: March 2008
4. Training seminar:
August 2008
5. Training seminar:
October 2008
Each seminar (except the first) will include classroom training, practical
demonstration (e.g. demonstration of landowner interviews and / or negotiations),
and a presentation of the status for the work and experiences from each of the six
teams.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 7: DEVELOP A PUBLIC AWARENESS CAMPAIGN
An important component in the initial stages of a land consolidation / re-parceling
project is to provide information to a wide range of institutions, stakeholders and
individuals about the project concept.
Public awareness campaign during the selection of pilot sites
Information about the project has been an important part of the selection of six good
pilot sites. Information about objective of the project, expected outcome, main
- 93 -

principles and selection criteria and process has been given as part of the selection
process during meetings with local government (at raion and village level).
Project launch workshop
A project launch workshop was organized on 10. October, 2007, in the MAFI
conference hall in Chisinau with around 70 participants from MAFI, Cadastral
agency, other Government institutions, the agricultural departments in raions with
pilot villages, from the pilot villages and staff of the contractor (including international
experts). The purpose of the workshop was officially to launch the project and create
awareness about the project concept and expected outcome. The workshop program
is included as to this report.
Project brochure
A project brochure has been prepared after the inception period of the project. The
main target group for the brochure is the local stakeholders (landowners, farmers,
villagers and other stakeholders). The brochure also serves as a short
comprehensive introduction to the project for all other interested groups. The
brochure provides information about project objective and concept, expected
outcome and timetable. It is available in both the state and English language.
Public awareness campaigns during implementation of the six land re-parceling pilots
Information to the six selected pilot communities is a crucial part of the project
implementation in order to ensure the local participation and interest in the pilots from
the beginning. The information will decides the above mentioned brochure mainly be
given through a series of four workshops in each of the pilot communities (Annex
Rep 1).
The first workshop in each pilot community was organized immediately after the
recruitment of the six field teams in October 2007. The international experts
participated in the first village (Sadova village) on 11. October, 2007. Around 50
landowners and villagers from Sadova participated together with representatives
from the five other pilot villages. The Sadova workshop thus served as preparation of
the subsequent five workshops that was organized by the local staff of the contractor
together with MAFI.
All villagers, landowners, stakeholders and local authorities were invited in each of
the villages. This first village workshop explained project objectives, expected project
outcome, implementation principles, and the sequences of the activities. The first
village workshop launched the first activities in the area, the preliminary investigation
- 94 -

with elaboration of an area development plan and interviews with landowners and
other stakeholders.
Project website
A project website has not been established yet. But it will be done soon in order to
disseminate information about the project to a broader audience in-side and out-side
Moldova with an interest in land re-parceling, land consolidation and other related
issues. The website will be available at www.re-parceling-moldova.md.
PROJECT ACTIVITY 8: ASSIST THE PILOT COMMUNITIES TO ESTABLISH A LOCAL
STAKEHOLDER COMMITTEE IN EACH OF THE PROJECT SITES, AND ENSURE THAT THEY ARE
INTEGRATED IN THE PROCESS
The project implementation will be based on a voluntary participatory and bottom up
approach. Establishment of a local stakeholder committee in each pilot site is an
important part of this approach. In Sadova village a local stakeholder committee with
seven members was elected at the first village launch workshop on 11. October,
2007. In the other five villages, similar committees were elected at the similar first
village workshops during the second half of October-beginning of November:
§ Sadova: First village workshop organized on 11. October, 2007.
§ Baimaclia: First village workshop organized on 19. October, 2007.
§ Busauca: First village workshop organized on 23. October, 2007.
§ Bolduresti: First village workshop organized on 25. October, 2007.
§ Opaci: First village workshop organized on 26. October, 2007
§ Calmatui: First village workshop organized on 2.November, 2007.
The overall task of the committee is to represent the general interest of the different
types of landowners and villagers in the re-parceling design process. The committee
is, as mentioned, an important part of the participatory and democratic approach and
of the voluntary concept. The committee will thus serve as a safeguard, monitoring
the negotiation and design process in each pilot site, to ensure that no-one is forced
or put under pressure to participate against their interest or wish.
The committee of landowners will take an active part in project implementation
mainly concerning more overall issues such as definition of sub-areas and design
goals for these and the valuation process. The main principles and "rules of the
game" for the re-parceling design will also be discussed and agreed upon with the
committee.
- 95 -

PROJECT ACTIVITY 9: REVIEW AND IF NECESSARY REVISE OWNERSHIP MAPS FOR THE
BASELINE SITUATION IN EACH VILLAGE (PREPARE PLAN 1)
When dealing with an ownership situation, where several hundreds of landowners
(each with 3, 4 or more parcels) in each village will have the possibility of
participating in land re-parceling, it becomes essential to have the necessary tools to
collect, structure, analyze and display the needed data. The basic data on "who owns
what" can be provided by either the Territorial Cadastral Office (TCO) or by the
ALRC. It has been the experience during the inception phase that the available
cadastre and register information in the villages (at the Primaria's office) is not
updated in five of six villages since 1999. Therefore, it was necessary to receive up-
dated cadastral data (maps and register data) from the Cadastral Agency. A contract
for purchase of cadastral maps (printed and in electronical form) and register
information from the land register has been signed by the contractor (Niras) and
ALRC in October 2007. The Cadastre Agency has delivered the maps and register
information for all six pilot villages during the second half of October 2007.
In order to have a tool that provides the needed overview for the planning process,
and for the need of visualizing the situation for the landowners, it is necessary to
prepare owner maps Plan 1 - that are especially designed for the re-parceling
project. These maps are based on the cadastral map, but have been refined by the
use of different colors and / or patterns and serial numbers to identify the different
landowners. It will most likely be necessary to sub-divide the cadastral map for the
whole village into smaller geographical units in order to be able to identify the very
small plots and their owners.
It is expected to use local short-term mapping and GIS experts from the ALRC to
prepare the maps (Plan 1) before starting the preliminary investigation (project
activity 10). It is the intention of the contractor to contract ALRC to prepare the owner
maps (Plan 1) for each of the six pilot villages. During the landowner interviews as
part of the preliminary investigation, each field team will verify the information on the
map through the interviews with the landowners. Final versions of Plan 1 will be
prepared based on this verification.
The activity has been launched during the inception period. The draft Plan 1 maps
were finished December 2007. Each field team will then verify the information on the
map through the interviews with the landowners. Final versions of Plan 1 will be
prepared based on this verification by a local private company.
- 96 -

PROJECT ACTIVITY 10: CONDUCT PRELIMINARY INVESTIGATIONS AND PREPARE AND
DISSEMINATE AREA DEVELOPMENT PLANS FOR EACH SITE
Project activity 10 is one of the most complex activities of the project with several
activities going on in the pilot villages at the same time. The two main elements are:
· Interviews with individual landowners and stakeholders
· Elaboration of community area development plan
Interviews with landowners and other stakeholders
Based on the elaborated owner structure (register information and map Plan 1), the
local project team in each of the six pilot sites will interview the landowners and other
stakeholders (including leaseholders). The purpose of the interviews is to collect data
about the local agricultural structure (production data and user data) and to identify
the individual landowners initial interest in the land re-parceling project (willing to
participate or not, sell land, buy land, exchange land, lease land in or out). Since the
project concept is completely voluntary, it is most important to discuss and explain
the project concept with the individual landowners and observe their interest in
participation.
It will be a special challenge for the six local project teams in a relatively short time
period (November 2007 March 2008) to conduct interviews with more than 7000
persons. In practice, the landowners are invited to the Primaria's office (local project
office) in order to reduce the time consume. Output of the interviews will be a file on
each landowner with register information about the land parcels owned and initial
wishes for the landowner's participation in the project (filled in interview form). An
interview form was developed by the contractor immediately after the project
inception period. Thematic maps will be prepared such as:
· User maps (the user of each land parcel)
· Land mobility map (map indicating parcels that the owner is willing to sell or
exchange)
The preparation of the draft re-parceling design will be based on the information
collected during the landowner interviews also.
Focus group discussions
As part of the participatory approach, a number (3-5) of focus groups will be
established in each of the six pilot sites comprising members of different categories
- 97 -

(e.g. women farmers, part-time farmers, subsistence farmers, commercial farmers,
etc.).
Group discussions are important supplements to interviews with individuals as
different (and sometimes dissenting) views on the same issue can be expressed by
different people and can be discussed subsequently by the entire group. The local
design teams should facilitate the discussions. Group discussions are also an
instrument to ensure influence from the weaker groups (e.g. women and subsistence
farmers) on the project design.
Community Area Development Plan
Elaboration of a community area development plan is an integrated part of the six
land re-parceling pilot projects. Land re-parceling in the Moldovan context is seen as
part of a broader rural development "package". The main target group of the project,
the smaller family farmers, is facing a large variety of problems. Re-parceling alone
(e.g. reduction of fragmentation and enlarged farm sizes) can not stand alone.
Elaboration of an area development plan for the pilot communities defines a local
rural development context in each of the pilot sites in which the land re-parceling
project will be implemented. The area development plans will be prepared over a
period of 5 months (October 2007 March 2008) in parallel with the landowner
interviews.
The community area development plan will be prepared in each of the pilot areas
during and after a series of three public workshops for the villagers and local leaders.
The main focus will be on change of land use (immediate changes and medium-long
term changes). Elaboration of the plan is an interactive process with the following
steps:
· Preparation of a plan that shows the current land use (baseline)
· Draft land use plan
· Final land use plan
It is the objective of the exercise through a participatory approach to seek and reach
consensus in the community about the proposed changes in the land use / area
development plan. The main tool for this is the above mentioned series of three
workshops, consultations with the Primaria's office and other local leaders and also
the input from the individual landowners and stakeholders from the conducted
interviews. Existing village development plans will be taken into account. The
process will identify local obstacles for development and try to address solutions to
- 98 -

the problems, which will vary from community to community. A few examples
illustrate the range of possible local planning issues:
· Fragmentation of land parcels
· Too small farm sizes for cost-effective production
· Lack of infrastructure (rural roads and access to parcels from roads)
· Dysfunction of irrigation system
· Erosion problems
· Issues of nature and environmental protection
· Weak marketing of local agricultural problems
· Lack of cold storage facilities
· Need for enlargement of resident areas of the community
· Need for enlargement of the cemetery
· Others
The output of the project activity is the community area development plan with
immediate, medium- and long term measures for local development. The subsequent
land re-parceling projects will not fully implement the area development plan but they
will support the immediate changes of land use and try to re-structure the owner- and
user structure to the identified measures for local rural development.
PROJECT MANAGEMENT, STAFF ASSIGNMENTS AND REPORTING
To ensure the overall coordination of the project implementation, the high level
Project Steering Committee has been established by GOM. At the operational level,
the Technical Working Group has been established to ensure close cooperation
between MAFI and the contractor.
The contractor has established a team of international and local experts as well as
members of the six local planning teams to work on the project. MAFI has appointed
a number of project counterparts at the national level and a planner for each of the
six local teams. The following chapter will describe the staff assignments of the
contractor and MAFI allocated for the project implementation as well as the reporting

AVIAN INFLUENZA CONTROL AND HUMAN
PANDEMIC PREPAREDNESS AND RESPONSE (AIHP)
ANIMAL HEALTH COMPONENT
GENERAL DESCRPTION
The epidemiologic situation regarding the Avian Influenza (AI), caused by the Avian
Influenza virus (H5N1) worldwide, is much tensioned now. For the first time the virus
H5N1 of the AI was registered in Hong Kong in 1997, where 18 persons got sick and
6 of them died.
The AI virus H5N1 reappeared in 2003 at birds in few Asian countries Cambodia,
China, Indonesia, Japan, Laos, and Thailand.
Between 2005-2006 there were registered new cases of AI among poultry and wild
birds in few countries: Russia, Hungary, Mongolia, Turkey, and Kazakhstan and in
the neighbour countries with the Republic of Moldova Romania and Ukraine, zones
where previously the virus was not diagnosed.
The Avian Influenza brought out huge economic damages in the poultry sector in all
affected countries (only in Asia over than 15 billions), and there is the peril of its
turning into a possible pandemic between humans.
In November 2005, concerned governments, technical agencies, and donors met in
Geneva to plan an international response to the risks that Avian Influenza will harm
human health and cause large-scale economic losses. In January 12, 2006, the
World Bank's Board of Directors approved up to $US 500 million in financing for the
Global Program for Avian Influenza (GPAI) that will assist eligible countries. The
GPAI is an Adapted Program Loan (APL) that operates horizontally, across
countries. Also in January, governments and donors met in Beijing, China and
pledged $US 1.9 billion to the fight against Avian Influenza.
From this sum, Republic of Moldova benefits of $US 10.6 mln ($US 3.6 mln for
Animal Health Component).
All activities during this working year, 2007, are divided in accordance with the
Operational Book as follows:

ANIMAL DISEASE SURVEILLANCE & DIAGNOSIS
MIGRATORY BIRD MONITORING
MIGRATORY BIRD STUDY IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA
Migratory birds, and particularly waterfowl, pose a major risk of spreading the H5N1
virus, the causative agent of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI), from one
geographic area to others.
Given the potential risk of H5N1 introduction in Moldova by migratory birds, it is
essential to obtain and maintain reliable and up-to-date information on the incidence
and characteristics of migratory birds' presence and their permanent routes in our
country and to continue regular monitoring. After these studies, it will be easier to
determine the areas of risk in the country. In May, there were elaborated
Terms of Reference for MIGRATORY BIRDS IN THE REPUBLIC OF MOLDOVA.
The TORs are divided into 2 phases:
Phase 1: Inventory of Existing Information on Migratory Birds
Scope of Work: to provide an initial baseline of essential information. This should
include statistical data (geographically referenced as necessary), graphic
presentations and appropriate maps, and should cover all species that have been
observed in significant numbers. Particular emphasis should be placed on species
and especially waterfowl that have been observed to stop and rest, or even to winter,
on Moldovan territory. This study will be realised by the Institute of Zoology of the
Academy of Science of the Republic of Moldova. The contract will be signed between
MAFI and Institute of Zoology, contract amount being of 30 000 MDL.
Phase 2: Migratory Bird Study 2007-2008.
Scope of Work: to obtain an up-to-date assessment of present migratory bird
incidence, presence and behavioural patterns in Moldova. These observations shall
be undertaken at appropriate locations in the northern, central and southern parts of
the country, with particular focus on waterfowl. Information shall be collected on
species, numbers, flight routes and habits, start, peaks and end of migrations,
location and duration of rest stops (and of wintering, if applicable), behaviour while in
Moldova (e.g., feeding habits and locations), likely origins and destinations, and other
pertinent aspects.
In the middle of July, it was signed the contract (Contract nr. 2/C/2007/056630)
between the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Safety and the Institute of Zoology of
- 105 -

the Academy of Sciences of Moldova regarding the study of migratory birds in the
Republic of Moldova.
At the end of September, there were received the Initial Report on the inventory of
existing information on migratory birds (in Romanian and English), and the Draft
Report from the Institute of Zoology of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova.
· Initial Report contains general and introductive information about the
migration of birds in Republic of Moldova, the most important species that
have been observed on our territory.
· Draft Report contains information about:
- The aquatic birds and waders, their migrations and wintering on the Republic of
Moldova territory,
- Study methods of birds' migrations,
- Short abstract of birds' migration studies in Moldova,
- Importance of the birds' migration study results for the prophylaxis of Avian
Influenza.
On the November, 15, 2007, there were received the Final Report on the inventory
of the existing information on migratory birds (in Romanian and English).
· Final Report contains information about:
- Study methods of bird
migrations,
- Short abstract of bird migration
studies in Moldova,
- Importance of the bird migration
study results for the prophylaxis of
the avian influenza.
Thus, the avifauna of Moldova is
represented by 119 species of
aquatic birds and waders from
nine orders Podicipediformes -
5, Gaviiformes - 2, Pelecaniformes
- 4,
Ciconiiformes - 12,
Anseriformes -28, Gruiformes - 6,
- 106 -

Charadriiformes - 47, Coraciiformes 1 (105 species) and Passeriformes (the rest of
14 species). The fauna of the republic is represented by many species that don't
breed on our territory, but can be met only on migration. From 42 species the
majority belong to the Siberian (15) and Arctic (13) fauna types. These are various
species of curlew, gooses, ducks, and gulls. As result of visual and radiolocation
studies on the territory of former South-West USSR the main bird migration ways
through the territory of Moldova were established:
MODERNIZATION OF VETERINARY LABORATORIES
In accordance with the Procurement Plan, it was established to rehabilitate and to
modernize three veterinary laboratories from the country: Republican Central
Veterinary Laboratory (necropsy room) from Chisinau and two satellite laboratories
from Cahul and Drochia.
VETERINARY LABORATORIES RECONSTRUCTION
in March, 2007 a civil engineer was selected for laboratories reconstruction

ANIMAL HPAI CONTROL AND OUTBREAK CONTAINMENT
PROTECTION AND DESINFECTION EQUIPMENT
In January, in cooperation with Human Health Component Coordinator, there were
improved technical specifications for protection and disinfection equipment.
At the end of February, it was organised the shopping for disinfectants acquirement.
Technical committee insisted that disinfectants proposed by first four ranked
companies did not correspond to their needs and should be rejected. The shopping
was cancelled, technical specifications were revised and the shopping was re-
advertised with the revised technical specifications. Revised technical specifications
comprise specifications for two lots of disinfectant: the first lot disinfectant for
poultry farms disinfection, disinfection of equipment, devices and vehicles (quantity-
25 tons); the second lot disinfectant for laboratory use, air and drinking water

SIMULATION EXERCISES
A real-time simulation exercise was prepared and took place in the period of August
6-10, 2007, in Anenii-Noi rayon, village Chetrosu and tried to involve all the state's
institutions that have responsibilities in the eradication of possible avian influenza
outbreaks in the country. The official opening of the seminar took place in Chisinau
and was chaired by the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry.
The Seminar and Simulation Exercise that took place in the Republic of Moldova was
necessary taking into consideration the geographical location that represents the
border between EU and Eastern European countries, mentioned in the European
legislation as third countries. In the international epidemiologic context, taking in
consideration the Avian
Influenza Report, the
central veterinary
services from the
Republic of Moldova
must demonstrate their
abilities of rapidly
intervene and control
an outbreak disease,
contributing to the
prevention of spread of
Avian Influenza. More
than that, taking into consideration that it never faced this kind of epidemiological
situations there is the risk of not applying the legal provisions in force and not
involving all the decision making factors from the Republic of Moldova, because most
of the times it is considered that Avian influenza is in the strict responsibility of the
veterinarian, which constitutes a major error.
The simulation exercise of avian influenza was the only method to confirm that the
prophylaxis and fighting against Avian Influenza can be performed only by
accomplishing the whole complex of economic/organizational, sanitary and veterinary
special measures. This can be accomplished only by a common effort of all the
component ministries and institutions of the Republican Antiepidemic Extraordinary
Commission.
- 111 -

By the Avian Influenza Simulation Exercise in the Republic of Moldova the following
major objectives were followed:
· Establishing and knowledge of the participants about the central and district
Command Chain in the Republic of Moldova;
· Knowledge by the participants of the legislative provisions in force on
diagnosis, surveillance and fighting of avian influenza;
· Inter-ministerial and inter-institutional collaboration on central, district and
local level;
· Training of the district and municipal chiefs epidemiologists so as to be able
to send forward the information and train all the territorial veterinary
structures;
· Rapid intervention with active participation of the institutions and departments
that are part of the Republican Antiepidemic Extraordinary Commission and
District Antiepidemic Extraordinary Commission for preventing the disease
spread and preventing its transmission to the population;
· The ability in setting up the most efficient measures of avian influenza
eradication according to the actual European legislation;
· The transparency of actions and collaboration with the international forums in
order to gain trust and develop trade with member states of EU and with other
countries.
More than that, the participants of the simulation exercise had to prove their capacity
of:
· Analyzing the situation of a rapid change of the disease;
· Taking decisions on practical aspects on disease eradication measures as
depopulation of infected livestock, destruction of infected carcasses, cleaning
and disinfection procedures as well as strengthening the restrictions on
movement;
· Taking action and coordinate the eradication measures, control and
prevention of the disease together with other official institutions and private
organizations;
· Evaluating the control measures from the national legislation in force;
- 112 -

· Using the contingency plans as well as the operational manuals; this means
being familiar with the working procedures during outbreaks and using the
formulas created for disease notification, evaluation and compensations for
poultry livestock, sending the specimens for laboratory examinations,
restricting the measures etc.
For the first time, in Avian Influenza Simulation Exercise, on the territory of the
Republic, were implicated all ministries and institutions, excepting Ministry of Finance
and Ministry of Transport. Also took part European Union representatives. In Avian
Influenza simulation exercise took part chief-epidemiologists from all rayons and
cities from the country which is very important for: the instructive and demonstrative
character of the exercise, communication between districts, the application of the
same surveillance and
control measures for
avian influenza. The
action was real! Every
step of the simulation
exercise was carried out
properly: the protection
equipment was used
during the action
(although the
environment temperature
exceeded 39 degrease Celsius) birds were euthanized and incinerated, disinfections
were carried out, compensations were given to the owners, etc. Through this inter-
ministerial and inter-institutional collaboration were proved that Avian Influenza is not
only the responsibility of veterinaries, but it is a responsibility of all state institutions.
The participants, no matter their specialization, demonstrated a great interest to
acquire all the necessary knowledge for managing an Avian Influenza outbreak. The
participants were offered housing and food, which is an important aspect that should
not be neglected even if the evolution of such a disease is a "crises situation".
Between September, 26-27 took place an Avian Influenza Simulation Exercise
Workshop, organized by World Health Organization, Health Protection Agency and
World Bank.
General purpose of this simulation exercise workshop was:
- 113 -

· To fortify the level of preparedness in case of Avian Influenza outbreaks on
the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
The objectives of this Avian Influenza Simulation Exercise Workshop were:
· To examine the way of interaction and communication among veterinary
sector, public health sector and other associated authorities;
· To examine Public and Animal Health components from the Contingent
Plans;
· To analyze the role and responsibilities of veterinary and public health sectors
in case of Avian Influenza outbreak;
· To examine the way of communication with mass-media and with the public
during Avian Influenza outbreak;
· To examine the methods of gathering information and supervision;
· To examine the HPAI control methods.
At this simulation exercise workshop took part 47 participants from the country and 4
international experts:
John Simpson (Health protection Agency Centre for Emergency Preparedness and
Response),
Liz Turner (Health protection Agency Centre for Emergency Preparedness and
Response),
Hilary Moulsdale (Health protection Agency Centre for Emergency Preparedness and
Response),
Ana Paula Coutinho (Regional Office for Europe World Health Organization).
COMPENSATION FUND
In case of the Avian Influenza occurrence on the territory of the Republic of Moldova,
it would be necessary to cull poultry. In order to encourage farmers to report
outbreaks of Avian Influenza, it was decided to offer compensation for culled poultry.
In January-February, 2007 the blanks for Compensation Fund were studied and
necessary changes were made, in accordance with Operational Book.
At the end of March, the blanks (2216 units) were elaborated and printed:
1. FARMER'S CERTIFICATE CONCERNING CULLED BIRDS EVIDENCE;
2. SKETCHY REGISTER CONCERNING CULLED BIRDS EVIDENCE;
3. MONTHLY REPORT CONCERNING CULLED BIRDS EVIDENCE;
There were also printed models for simulation exercise.

HUMAN HEALTH CAPACITY BUILDING SUB-COMPONENT
REVIEW OF REGULATORY SYSTEM
The team of experts from NCPM led by Dr. Bahnarel Ion, MD, General Director and
Prof. Spinu Constantin, Doctor, Vice-director, Department of virology; Dr. Scoferta
Petru, Head of the influenza laboratory, Romancenco Elena, Scientific Researcher
and Ursu Angelina, Human Health Component Coordinator met together on 24
February 2007 to discuss the next steps which should to be undertaken in order to
review the existing regulatory framework (guidelines and plans) for Human cases of
AI and Pandemic Preparedness in the following areas: background information on
Avian Influenza and Influenza Pandemic; surveillance; outbreak containment;
collecting, preserving and shipping specimens for the diagnosis of avian influenza
A(H5N1) virus infection; clinical management; infection Control; National
Preparedness Plan for Human Pandemic Influenza. Two groups of national experts
were established. The first group of experts had to be responsible for reviewing,
updating and development of the regulatory framework for Human cases of AI and
Pandemic Preparedness in accordance with available international standards and
guidelines. The second one for reviewing, updating and development of the
regulatory framework for Seasonal influenza.
A number of standard operating procedures (SOPs), as a key task and the
foundation for an adequate response of the public health care system to the threat of
HPAI were updated and elaborated by the team from the National Center for
Preventive Medicine (NCPM) and Component Coordinator (CC). The following
guidelines have been prepared: (i) case definition; (ii) protocols for collecting,
preserving and shipping specimens for the diagnosis of avian influenza virus
infection, including guidelines for air shipment of specimens; (iii) intra-hospital and
health facility infection control guidelines; (iv) reporting protocols; (v) patient
management and clinical guidelines with therapeutic protocols for HPAI patients; (vi)
recommendations for protection of persons involved in activities to control and
eradicate outbreaks of avian influenza with instructions for the utilization of personal
protective equipment with hand hygiene technique and respiratory protection; (vii)
guidelines for seasonal vaccination and definition of risk groups for HPAI infection;
and (viii) guidelines for travelers.
The WB expert emphasized that this represented good progress, although several
other guidelines were missing (such as Terms of Reference for Rapid Response
Teams (RRT); waste management guidelines with action plans both for laboratories
and hospitals; detailed reporting procedures; etc.) or needed upgrading (such as the
- 118 -

"Plan of Interventions in Case of Outbreak of Avian Influenza in Poultry or Humans").
In accordance with the WB mission recommendations all national documents and
guidelines for Human cases of AI and Pandemic Preparedness before being
presented to the Minister of Health for formal approval were translated in English in
order to be reviewed by an international consultant in accordance with available
international standards and guidelines. The TORs for translator were prepared and
approved by the national counterparts in June. The translator Ms. N. Culava was
engaged. The engaged translator is responsible for the translation
(English/Romanian and Romanian/English) of all materials related to the regulatory
system and Standard Operating Procedures under Human health component and of
other project's documents as required by the project management. During the
mission it was agreed that the SOPs would be posted in both Romanian and English
on the NCPM web page for easy reference. The WB mission emphasized the
necessity to conduct the simulation exercise of the eventual outbreak of avian
influenza.
The Component Coordinator in collaboration with national counterparts prepared
TORs for International Consultant who will review the national documents and
guidelines for Human cases of AI and Pandemic Preparedness in accordance with
available international standards and guidelines and assist the national central and
local authorities to perform the simulation exercise in case of humans infected by
influenza A (H5N1). The CC asked the WB and WHO local office to provide the long
list of international consultants who would be able to perform the following tasks:
1. Reviewing the draft form of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for
adequate response of the health care system to the threat of HPAI developed
by the counterparts in accordance with available international standards and
guidelines before final approval by the Minister of Health and Steering
Committee;
2. Preparation of the scenario for simulation exercise in case of humans infected
by influenza A (H5N1);
3. Participation as an external observer in this simulation exercise
and preparation of a "lessons learned" document based on assessments of
the earlier proposed indicators as well as:
a. appropriateness of human health legislation;
b. appropriateness and applicability of the Plan of Interventions in Case
of Outbreak of Avian Influenza in Poultry or Human and SOPs;
- 119 -

c. decision making on all practical issues, and degree of flexibility and
improvisation in response to unexpected eventualities;
d. involvement of, and coordination and communication among, public
and private sector participating institutions, stakeholders and the
general public.
WHO confirmed that they could support technically and financially the simulation
exercise involving both vet and human health sides by contracting Health Protection
Agency (UK), which is collaborating with WHO on this issue. Health Protection
Agency has already conducted couple of these table top exercises in our region.
The MoH approached WHO with an official request to participate in the simulation
exercise and particularly provide technical assistance in the finalization of the design
of the simulation exercise,
assess the national
guidelines approved by the
MoH, participate as observer
at the table top simulation
exer cise and provide a
formal feedback about the
results of the simulation
exercise to the MoH and our
local partners. In August the
Ministry of Agriculture under
the leadership of the National Antiepidemic Commission headed by Deputy Prime
Minister conducted practical simulation exercise to test the guidelines recently
developed by the Ministries and to assess the coordination responsibilities and
communication lines.
WHO supported technically and financially the simulation exercise involving both vet
and human health sides by contracting Health Protection Agency (UK), which is
collaborating with WHO on this issue. The desk-top simulation exercise was held on
26-27 September, in Chisinau. The aim of the desk-top simulation exercise was to
enhance preparedness and capacity of Moldova to face outbreaks of Highly
Pathogenic Avian Influenza in animal and human populations.
The objectives were the following:
1. Explore the interaction, co-ordination and communication between the
veterinary and health sectors and other associated authorities;
- 120 -

2. Explore animal and human health components of contingency plans;
3. Explore the roles and responsibilities of veterinary and health sectors during
an outbreak;
4. Explore media and public communications during an outbreak;
5. Explore the lines of communication between local and central authorities;
6. Explore data gathering and surveillance;
7. Explore the operational measures in containing an HPAI.
In accordance with the order nr. 369 d from 14.09.2007 43 participants attended
this event. There were the representatives from the following ministries and
institutions:

The Component Coordinator (CC) has elaborated the TORs for a qualified logistic
company in event management. The ToRs were approved by the national
counterparts. The selection committee selected the company Age Quod Agis SRL
that provided logistical and administrative support in the organization of the
integrated desktop simulation exercise.
- 121 -

The representatives from the WHO, UNICEF, Health Protection Agency participated
as external observers in this simulation exercise. The WHO experts are preparing a
"lessons learned" document, which will be distributed to all ministries whose
representatives attended the exercise and to all participants in order to insure the
continuity of the initiated process of enhancing the preparedness and capacity of
Moldova to face outbreaks of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in animal and
human populations.
The WHO experts submitted the report on the integrated desktop simulation exercise
for avian influenza in animal and human populations in the Republic of Moldova.
They emphasized that the exercise had brought together and enhanced cooperation
between senior government officials from the Ministry of Health and Agriculture,
regional authorities, scientific experts, responding agencies and operational staff at
the local level, identified strengths and weaknesses in the response arrangements for
both animal and human cases of avian influenza, identified specific gaps and needs
for additional training and capacity building, and raised awareness of the coordination
arrangements needed during the response to an avian outbreak and it has laid the
basis for further simulation exercises at the Raion (regional) and local level.
The experts recommended that all recommendations should be considered within the
National Emergency Preparedness structure in Moldova so that lessons identified
here could be applied to other emergencies and diseases
The CC in close collaborations with national counterparts elaborated the TORs for an
International Consultant in Infection Control Practices and Clinical Management who
will be responsible for enhancing HPAI Prevention and Preparedness Capability
trough review and upgrade of the national documents and guidelines for Human
cases of AI and Pandemic Preparedness in accordance with available international
standards and guidelines, with focus on clinical management of possible human
cases of H5N1, field investigation readiness and practices, surveillance and alert
system, isolation practices in healthcare facilities, prevention of nosocomial infections
and waste management, correct use of personal protective equipment and other
infection control related actions including social distancing measures in the context of
outbreak preparedness. The TORs were approved by the national counterparts.
The CAPMU initiated the selection process and the announcement was publicized.
Four candidates applied for this position. The selection committee evaluated the files
and after a detailed review the consideration has been given to Mr Simon Mardel
- 122 -

who according to the documentation presented was the most experiences applicant.
The CAPMU initiated all procedures for engaging the consultant.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM FOR SURVEILLANCE
The team of experts from NCPM led by Dr. Bahnarel Ion, MD, Director general and
Prof. Spinu Constantin, Doctor, Vice-director, Department of virology; Dr. Sohotchi
Vasile, Vice-director, department of epidemiology; Dr. Pantea Valeriu, MD, head of
the Department for socio-hygienic monitoring; Dr. Benes Oleg, Head of the Center of
epidemiology of highly pathogenic infectious diseases and control of bioterrorism; Dr.
Cojocaru Radu, MD, Head of the laboratory of highly pathogenic infectious diseases
and control of bioterrorism; Dr. Melnic Anatolie, Head of the Department of general
epidemiology; Dr. Scoferta Petru, Head of the influenza laboratory and Mr. Evtodiev
Ion, head of the Department of information technologies met together on 5 January
2007 in order to discuss, review the technical specifications (TSs) for improving IT
system for surveillance and make recommendations. The team acknowledged the
amount of work conducted by the consultant and appreciated its overall satisfaction
with the provided technical details. They emphasized that the minimal requirements
for the System architecture at the rayon/municipality level must include providing
computers and ADSL Internet connection to Epidemiology unit at RCPM, Laboratory
unit at RCPM, Infectious diseases department of the rayon/municipality hospital and
RSVL and dropping any of these four components that deal with the main flow of
Infectious diseases patients, may jeopardize the successful implementation of the
system. Written recommendations were sent to the WB IT specialist. The WB IT
specialist updated the last version of the TSs. The last version was approved by the
national counterparts and sent to the CAPMU for the preparation of the bidding
documentation. During the WB mission (7-17 Mai 2007) the WB IT expert
emphasized that it would be very important to reach consensus among the
stakeholders regarding the technical specifications, and prepare the bidding
documents for the development of system design, software and hardware for the
infectious diseases surveillance system; to make a final decision about the
institutional ownership of the system and to start bidding procedure for human and
animal health surveillance system procurement by 1 August 2007.

HUMAN HPAI TESTING SUB-COMPONENT
Taking into consideration the existing infrastructure and available resources and after
the multiple discussions with counterparts the Ministry of Health (MoH) took a
decision about the location of the viral laboratory and the module for H5N1 diagnosis.
The MoH decided to renovate the existing laboratory for seasonal influenza diagnosis
in order to bring it up to the agreed standards and build the new module for avian
influenza virus diagnosis near the existing Viral Laboratory. This module will be used
for molecular detection of the viruses of other infectious diseases, but in case of
human avian influenza cases or pandemic alert will be redirected for H5N1 diagnosis.
During the meeting which took place on 20 February 2007 the team of experts from
NCPM decided to initiate the preparations of the technical specifications for all
- 124 -

necessary laboratory equipments in accordance with WHO mission
recommendations.
The layout of a new module for the diagnosis of avian influenza virus provided by
Romanian specialist from Cantacuzino was reviewed by the Mr Radu Cojocaru, Head
of Microbiology Laboratory of Extremely Dangerous Diseases, Ms Valeria
Dmitrienco, Head of HIV Diagnoses Laboratory and Mr Constantin Spinu who know
the standard biosafety laboratory practices and the special considerations when
using PCR diagnosis. The proposed version of the layout of module was also
reviewed by the best Romanian Expert in PCR diagnosis who was in Moldova in that
time. They also revised the list of equipment which needs to be procured. The
national counterparts are preparing the official letter to the City Hall to ask for an
additional territory. When the real size of the available territory are known, the
counterparts will be able to prepare the technical specifications for laboratory
equipment in accordance with available space and be sure that this equipment will fit
in the special rooms. The national laboratory specialists together with the CC began
to prepare the technical specifications for all necessary laboratory equipment in
accordance with WHO mission recommendations.
The CAPMU prepared the TOR for the civil engineer and the announcement was
publicized. Three candidates applied for this position. The selection committee
evaluated the files and after a detailed review the consideration has been given to Mr
Raileanu who according to the documentation presented was the most experiences
applicant. In compliance with Project Operational Manual the contract was signed by
the Minister of Health.
The hired engineer prepared the TORs for the design company which will prepare
the designs for the proposed new annex for HPAI diagnosis and Intensive Care Unit.
These TORs were reviewed and approved by the national counterparts and sent to
CAMPU. The CAMPU initiated the selection process of a design company of
Intensive Care Unit and of the proposed new annex for HPAI diagnosis. Three
companies have presented the files in accordance with the TORs presented for the
bidding process. The selection committee selected the EuroprojectDesign company.
The contract was signed by the Minister of Health in December 2007.
The team of specialists from NCPM led by Dr. Bahnarel Ion, MD, Director general
and Prof. Spinu Constantin, Doctor, Vice-director, Department of virology; Dr.
Cojocaru Radu, MD, Head of the laboratory of highly pathogenic infectious diseases
and control of bioterrorism; Dr. Scoferta Petru, Head of the influenza laboratory met
- 125 -

with Mr. Volosatii, General Director of the selected design company, Mr. Raileanu,
civil Engineer and Ursu Angelina, Component coordinator on 24 December 2007 in
order to discuss the proposed three versions of layout for the new module. The
laboratory specialists updated them on the necessity of respecting the technological
flow. Mr. Volosatii and Mr Raileanu have suggested exploring the possibility to
organize a field visit to Viral Laboratory, Cantacuzino Institute from Romania in order
to get acquired with specifics of laboratory construction and flows.
Also the National Viral Laboratory has approached the WHO Local country Office to
update them on the status of global shipment project supported earlier by WHO
through World Courier. The National Viral Respiratory Reference Laboratory was
requested by the Government Extraordinary Commission to develop a protocol of
necessary actions from the national authorities with responsibilities and
communication lines for sending samples to H5 WHO international Reference
Laboratory. Due the fact that the National Viral Respiratory Laboratory has no
technical capacity to perform the testing of human samples for H5N1 virus an interim
arrangement with an international reference laboratory also has to be available for
primary testing of suspect samples.
In response to the National Viral Laboratory request to update them on the status of
global shipment project supported by WHO through World Courier WHO Local
country Office provided the following information in order to benefit from WHO
Influenza Global Shipment Project:
1. Contact the world Courier Headquarter and send the filled booking form.
Meanwhile a copy of the form should be sent to WHO Geneva and WHO Country
Office;
2. Collect and package the samples as indicated in the respective guidelines.
Important packing should be performed by a IATA certified person;
3. The National Centre of Preventive Medicine (through WHO Country Office)
has received the limited amount of PPE and necessary packing equipment to
pack the samples as per guidelines;
4. World Courier Romania through its local agent in Moldova (Quehenberger,
Moldova: +37322 52 44 27,
http://www.quehenberger-
hellmann.md/9426_EN.62E9D6912152821 will provide the remaining necessary
components of the package (dry ice and liquid nitrogen if needed), will be responsible
for filling the necessary forms per IATA guidelines and also they are responsible for
the shipment process to the WHO international reference laboratory.
- 126 -

Two participants from the Republic of Moldova attended the training on "shipment of
biohazard samples in accordance with IATA regulations" in Russia, passed
successfully the exam and were IATA certificated.
In the near future the National Viral Laboratory is going to conduct the shipment of
seasonal influenza\samples to WHO Reference Laboratory in order to pilot the
possible Avian Influenza Shipment.

REPUBLICAN HOSPITAL FOR INFECTIOUS DISEASES
The two options presented to the missions (November 2006¸ May 2007) for the
location of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) have now been dismissed, mainly because
both these buildings are regarded as having historic value and are therefore
protected and difficult to be adapted for ICU purposes. The third option now being
considered is to rehabilitate an abandoned building located within the hospital
compound. A detailed assessment was made of the feasibility of rehabilitating this
building by the competent authorities during the June. The mission emphasized the
importance of adhering to the WHO recommendations for the control of nosocomial
infections in the design and indicated its preference for higher-quality premises over
larger space of poor quality. The civil engineer has prepared the terms of references
for a design company.

PUBLIC INFORMATION AND AWARNESS
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
The rapidly spreading outbreaks of Avian Influenza among wild and domestic birds
and the increasing cases of bird flu among people at global level are alarming. A total
cumulative number of 353 confirmed human cases of Avian Influenza were reported
- 130 -

to WHO by 24 January 2008, out of which 221 death cases. If the H5N1 virus
changes into a human strain, it would make it possible for person-to-person
transmission and trigger a human flu pandemic. The world must prepare for such a
pandemic, as it would affect all populations regardless of national boundaries or
socio-economic status.
Geographically situated in the path of migratory birds, the Republic of Moldova is at
high risk for an outbreak of avian influenza (AI). This situation is aggravated by the
importance of domestic fowl in the country, a lack of knowledge of safe breeding
techniques, widespread consuming and selling of poultry and poor general hygiene.
To date, Moldova has not suffered an outbreak of Avian Influenza, though it is at
significant risk, since two nations on its borders, Ukraine and Romania, suffered
outbreaks.
In November 2005, concerned governments, technical agencies, and donors met in
Geneva to plan an international response to the risks that Avian Influenza will harm
human health and cause large-scale economic losses. In January 12, 2006, the
World Bank's Board of Directors approved up to $US 500 million in financing for the
Global Program for Avian Influenza (GPAI) that will assist eligible countries.
In 2007, in its effort to support Moldova, WB started together with the Government of
Moldova a project on Avian Influenza Control and Human Pandemic Preparedness
and Response. The overall objective of the Project is to minimize the threat posed to
humans by HPAI. The project has three main components:
- Component 1. Animal Health
- Component 2. Human Health
- Component 3. Public Information and Awareness.
Public awareness and information component of the Project is implemented by the
Ministry of Health and UNICEF, based on the National Strategy and Communication
Plan on Prevention of Avian and Human Influenza in the Republic of Moldova,
approved by the Ministry of Health on July 4, 2006, focusing on communication and
other supportive measures that inform, educate and enable families and communities
to protect themselves from illness and death caused by avian influenza or its
consequences.
- 131 -

UNICEF's actions are part of a coherent UN system response and are guided by the
technical agencies for animal and human health -- the Food and Agriculture
Organization (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the WB experts and
UN System Influenza Coordinator (UNSIC).
STATEMENT OF OBJECTIVES
The objective of this Project is to implement the Component 3: Public Information
and Awareness, of the Avian Influenza Control and Human Pandemic Preparedness
and Response (AIHP) Project.
The overall objective of this component is to minimize the risk of avian influenza
spreading throughout the Republic of Moldova by ensuring that citizens are aware of
the symptoms, understand the threat and are willing and able to engage in
behaviours that will protect themselves and their community, and addressing key
aspects of prevention, preparedness and response in Moldova.
The communication response has three planned stages:
I. A pre-outbreak campaign to promote safe and responsible behaviour to reduce
risks to children, families, households and communities; and to promote
responsible media reporting to avoid panic and misinformation.
II. An intensive communication campaign during a pandemic, to begin immediately if
and when human infection is confirmed.
III. Post pandemic communication support to promote recovery and help those who
need it.
The present Project addresses the first stage, while a contingency communication
plan for the next two stages is being developed and will be implemented should the
need occur.
The Communication component supports the implementation of the National
Communication Strategy and Plan for the Prevention of Avian and Human Influenza
for the years 2006-2008, approved officially on July 4, by the Ministry of Health.
Project builds on the experience of the communication activities implemented by the
National Inter-Sectorial working group on communication for AI, with UNICEF
technical assistance, starting from November 2005. The activities were supported
financially by UN Agencies and USAID.
- 132 -

STATEMENT OF ACTIVITIES
The communication component includes:
· An extensive media campaign to raise public awareness about the danger
and promote safe behaviours regarding poultry breading, personal
hygiene and safety.
· A component on building national health promotion capacities structured
by 3 levels: national, rayon, and community.
· A component on building communication capacities in epidemic crises
and promptly managing response reactions.
The main activities undertaken during the reporting period are as follows:
MEDIA CAMPAIGN
Planned results: Families increasingly practice key behaviours related to AI
prevention: separating, washing, reporting and cooking safely
·
Development and Production of Video, Audio, and Animation Spots, as
well as other communication materials
New sets of messages were developed addressing seasonal influenza prevention
and rules of personal hygiene, in particular for children, as well as on rules and
behaviours for safe breeding of backyard poultry (bio security).
A long-term agreement of cooperation has been signed with "Atelierul Sergiu Prodan
PR si Publicitate" Agency, contracted for the development of the communication
materials (video, animation and audio spots, posters, banners, family brochures,
guides for doctors and veterinaries).
Two scenarios for an animation and a video spot were developed and approved, and
the production work is underway. The animation addresses personal hygiene for
children, in relation to seasonal influenza, while the video spot focuses on safe
breeding of backyard poultry. Topics to be addressed further are to be discussed
and approved by the Inter-Sectorial Working Group in communication for avian
influenza prevention.
·
Development of Messages for Population and Contents of Media Materials
UNICEF recruited a communication consultant for media campaign within the
Communication Component, who assists UNICEF, the Ministry of Health, the Ministry
of Agriculture and Food Industry, and the Inter-Sectorial Working Group in
- 133 -

communication for avian influenza prevention in developing communication
messages for the target groups as well as contents of communication materials for
children, families, farmers, medical staff, and veterinaries. Among the tasks of the
consultant is to develop media plans for broadcasting, coordinate interaction between
various agencies and institutions involved in the project, as well as monitor the
process of distribution and use of communication materials.
·
Broadcasting of video and audio messages
An analysis of the coverage and audiences of TV and Radio channels was done,
based on the latest research by TV MR MLD, the local branch of the AGB Nielsen
Media Research, that provides independent, reliable and transparent audience
measurement systems for TV, and Transaction Network Services radio marketing
research for radio. Based on the analysis, the most appropriate and optimal media
plan was developed, in order to target both rural and urban population, all ethnic
groups, and ages from 12 and up and primarily all groups targeted by the campaign:
families with backyard birds/animals; school-aged children; young adults in rural
areas; small farmers & poultry producers, decision makers and media professionals.
The plan includes, as follows:
TV channels: Prime TV (ORT), Moldova 1, NIT TV and Pro TV.
Radio channels: Russkoie Radio, Moldova 1, Radio Noroc and Radio
Sanatatea.
Negotiations with each channel were conducted and resulted in preferential costs,
which are significantly lower than commercial costs. Contracts were signed with
public Company TeleRadio Moldova (Moldova 1), Pro TV and Radio Sanatatea,
while the negotiations for the rest of the contracts are being finalized.

- 136 -

COORDINATION AND PLANNING
·
Joint UNICEF and MoH Planning Meeting.
UNICEF and the pertinent staff in the Ministry of Health held a working meeting in
order to develop a detailed action plan of project activities and institutions
responsible for their implementation. Specific strategies to be applied for better
results, as well as activities within the three main communication components were
planned in the working meeting. A special attention was paid to building capacities of
the MoH and its institutions in the field of strategic communication and health
promotion. Actions on building capacities at national (MoH, NSPCPM, and the
School of Public Health), regional, and rayon/community levels were planned.
It was recommended to renew the composition of the Inter-Sectorial Working Group
in avian influenza communication.
It was decided to draw up an official letter to the Coordinating Council of Audiovisual
on broadcasting social health promotion advertising by national and local TV stations
free of charge or at a minimal price.
·
Recruitment of National Consultants to Support MoH and National Centre
of Preventive Medicine
The Ministry of Health and UNICEF recruited a national consultant in capacity
building to work within the National Centre of Preventive Medicine. The recruitment
for the second position national communication consultant in support of the MoH,
was conducted repeatedly, and the identified person is currently being contracted.
·
National Survey of Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices "Avian Influenza:
Population's awareness and attitude"
UNICEF has contracted the Centre of Sociological, Political and Psychological
Investigation and Analysis "CIVIS" to carry out the second national survey of
knowledge, attitude, and practices regarding avian influenza. The study measured
the behavioural outcomes of the previous phase of the communication campaign,
and identified cultural, economic, behavioural and other factors that act as barriers
and enablers among key target audiences, for the adoption of healthy behaviours.
Based on survey data and conclusions, messages for target groups are being
developed.
- The quantitative survey was done in December 2007 on a sample of 1008
respondents aged 15 and over representative of the entire population and on
30 respondents from poultry farms.
- 137 -

- The results proved that the levels of awareness of avian influenza had
increased in comparison with the previous year and are quite high (96%).
Young people and urbanites showed a higher level of awareness than the
rural adult population, especially the elderly.
- TV and radio were the main sources of information on avian influenza at
89.6% and 59.7% respectively. It is important to mention that more elderly
respondents got their information from the radio while younger people got
theirs primarily from TV.
- The most often-applied protective behaviours were safe cooking, i.e., using
high temperatures to cook poultry meat (93%) and washing eggs before
cooking and chopping boards or knives after use (75%).
- More then 70% of the population frequently washed their hands before
cooking or eating. The rate of those who washed their hands after eating was
slightly lower.
- In comparison with the previous year, there was a considerable increase
(25%) in the number of people who washed their hands after feeding poultry,
collecting eggs and cleaning poultry pens.
- In half of the households breeding poultry in their backyards, the birds were
not permanently kept in enclosed areas: 10% let their chickens roam freely
though this indicator had decreased 2.5 times during the year.
- During the one-year period after the first KAP study, there was a three-fold
increase in the number of households using special clothes for cleaning
poultry pens (up to 39.1%) and a two-fold increase in the number of those
using special shoes (up to 39.6%).
- The most difficult behaviours to change or influence proved to be reporting
sick or dead birds. Thus, Only 22% of people would report finding a dead bird
on the street to authorities and only 16.3% would report finding one in their
own yards.
- While only 4.2% of households reported finding a dead bird to local
authorities, this was a significantly higher rate than one year ago (1.5%).
- A little over 60% considered avian influenza as a major risk which was a 20%
decrease compared with August 2006.
CONSTRAINTS
- 138 -

1. Substantial increase in the price of advertising on all TV and Radio channels,
in response to the increase in demand for broadcasting time on the ads
market. Direct negotiations were held with the management of the selected
companies, aiming at decreasing to the maximum the costs for broadcasting
of socially important advertising.
2. Working in the Transnistrian region requires many additional efforts and time.
Covering the Transnistrian region with communication activities was
perceived as a priority issue both by UNICEF and major partners. However, it
poses a real challenge, since it was not enough to produce materials in
Russian for the region they had to be specifically adapted, taking into
consideration the administrative-territorial structure, the organization of the
health care system, the non-acceptance of certain logos and colours, etc. It is
a challenge to monitor the communication activities and distribution of
materials in the separatist region.
The initial phase of the project was slowed down by the negotiations held between
UNICEF Moldova and WB on the possibility to reorient the funds towards
communicating on donor's assistance to the victims of drought in Moldova

The ultimate goal of the REAW Project is to provide a foundation for a broad and
efficient use of biomass in substitution for imported fossil fuels (coal), acting as a
catalyst for the introduction and promotion of the use of primary agricultural wastes
(biomass) to fuel energy generation using efficient technologies. Therefore, the
project will assist the Government of Moldova to:
I. Overcoming existing barriers to the update of biomass technologies by
providing examples of best practice (demonstration units) in the use of
biomass fuelled energy systems as a viable alternative to gas, oil and coal
and as a sustainable means of addressing the energy supply problems
facing rural communities and agro-enterprises. Demonstration systems
- 140 -

would be of a size, scale and cost appropriate for wide replication in rural
areas. This would be supported by access to information, technical
support and a fund to cover the incremental capital cost in installation of
biomass-fuelled systems;
II. Encouraging development of straw bale market and further replication
among the agro-enterprises of the biomass production and selling, after
the project ends;
III. Additional public buildings, but those implemented by the project,
switching to biomass heating system, in base of the learned lessons and
gathered results within the project progress;
IV. Reducing additional implementation costs persistent existence of which
are caused by the fact of brand new, untested and totally untrustworthy
technology in Moldova: renewable energy from agricultural wastes;
V. Promote a broad public awareness campaign and replication strategy.
Based on that, the following Project components are:
A. Biomass Energy Demonstration Units
This component of the project will consist
of installation and operation of biomass
fuelled heating systems in public buildings
in rural communities with a total capacity
of 2,720 kW in 11 installations:
· Dismantling of existing systems;
· Construction work: preparation of
boiler rooms, including preparation
for connection of building with
heating system;
· Upgrade of the heating systems for
compatibility with biomass based
system;
· Supply and installation of new boiler plants on a turn-key basis.
- 141 -

This component will state the `Moldova's Reference Design' for biomass based
heating systems based upon an `average rural community' of about 1000 households
and 1200Ha of surrounding arable land. It will clearly demonstrate the reference
capacity of the sites; the modularity of the site components; the investment
requirements; the raw material treatment and logistics; the energy distribution
system; the cost and maintenance characteristics; the cost benefit analyses as well
as social-economic and environmental impact.
B. Biomass production and fuel cycle support
This component of the project is designated to construct and create a full biomass
chain supply, aiming to transfigure biomass agriculture wastes, often lost and into a
sustainable market product and a suitable thermal energy raw material.
The main scope of the component consists in continuation of biomass production,
even when the project will be finished. This will be achieved by a range of financial
measures provided by the project including:
· 6 grants accorded to selected best score agro-enterprises for biomass
equipment purchase;
· Financial lease arrangements which will allow to mitigate the high price
investment related to the biomass equipment procurement;
· Constant contract arrangements aiming to get together the buyer and the
seller of this specific product biomass material.
Shortly this component includes:
· Supply of baling and bale handling systems to agro-enterprises, according to
the bale module required, through grants and leasing arrangements. The
project will provide in most of the cases the module size of 15 20 kg or
above;
· Develop the commercial infrastructure to produce, promote, market and sell
biomass as an alternative heating source;
· To create a transaction based market for biomass fuel (straw) on the basis of
supply contracts for heating systems in rural communities;
· Leasing contract finalization between agro-enterprises and leasing company;
· Credit contracts development between financial institution and final
beneficiary;
- 142 -

· Contract finalization between agro-enterprises and local authorities for the
storage and supply of baled straw according to the required specification and
delivery schedules;
· Preparation of straw fuel storage facility near bye to the boiler house.
C. Public awareness, outreach and dissemination, information barriers removal
The overall outcome of this project component is to promote the project objective of
removing the existing barriers to extend the usage of renewable energy from
agricultural wastes in Moldova.
The program of measures to overcome the existing informational barriers together
with the demonstration sites implementation will include:
· Presentations at conferences, seminars, and training events including those
targeting and engaging the local governments and general public, and the
international community; This task will include also a considerable number of
local seminars targeting rural communities, involving training at boiler
demonstration sites.
· Promotion of baling systems and technology into other regions of Moldova
and an information campaign for rural communities applying for MSIF project
grants;
· Case studies to showcase the project will be published in targeted
publications for farmers;
· Participation in fairs at the `Mold-Expo' in Chisinau;
· Promotion through information and extension to agro-enterprises, mayors,
students (all levels), heating engineers, government officials and policy on
renewable energy (biomass);
· Regional debates & panel discussions;
· Advertising campaign - TV, radio;
· Info campaign for households, regional media campaign;
· Miss-perception & gaps identification surveys;
· Teaching Contract (professional lessons at sites); A specialist will be
appointed in a training of trainers program, provided to local school
teachers/professors in order to instruct them how to disseminate the
- 143 -

information among the students of the local schools, colleges, universities
and others educational institutions;
· Etc.
D. Project Management, audit, monitoring and evaluation activities
CAPMU as a Project Implementation Unit (PIU) will oversee the implementation of
the Project, disseminate project related information to stakeholders and be
responsible for contracting for the delivery of goods, works, and consultant services.
The project would raise environmental awareness in the project region and support
NGOs and local communities in promoting environmentally sustainable development
policies at the local and national level.
PROGRESS BY PROJECT COMPONENTS
ACTIVITIES UNDER COMPONENT A
Selection of sites
Based on the project's concept and objectives, the selection of villages to pilot and
replicate alternative technologies of heating energy production from agricultural
waste, was done in a few stages:
Stage I. Identification of districts to be included in the project;
Stage II. Selection of 30 communities potential beneficiaries;
Stage III. Selection of 10 communities for an in-depth study on the field;
Stage IY. Identification of the 5 villages to become pilot demonstrative sites.
Selection of districts
Based on the selection methodology, initially, at the first selection stage, the districts
where the pilot projects could be implemented were selected.
The districts selection was done using the following indicators:
a) Limited access of the districts' villages to the main gas networks in the next 3-5
years
b) Geographic distribution of districts (North, South and Center)
Resulting from an analysis of the National Gasification Program till 2010 and the
evaluation of the extent of access to the main gas networks, 13 districts appropriate
for the pilot stage were identified. Therefore, for the North were selected the
districts: Faleshti, Glodeni, Edinets, Floreshti, Ryshcani, Syngerei, Soroca, for the
- 144 -

Center the districts Ungheni, Hynceshti, Teleneshti, for the South  the districts
Causheni, Shtefan Voda, Cantemir, Leova.
Identification of communities visited in the field
At the third selection stage, from the list of 30 potential beneficiary communities, 10
communities were selected by a random method from all regions, for an in-depth
study on the field. Thus, the following villages were chosen for field study:
North: Cishcareni, district Singerei; Vasilcau, district Soroca; Navirnets, district
Faleshti; Recea, district Rishcani; Parcova, district Edinets; Viisoara District Edinet;
Limbenii Noi and Viishoara, district Glodeni.
Center: Boghenii Noi, district Ungheni; Boghiceni, district Hinceshti.
South: Antonesti, district Stefan Voda; Taraclia and Ursoaia, district Causeni.
It should be noted, that fewer villages were selected from the Center and the South
compared to the North, since at present the communities in those regions have a
greater access to gas main pipelines.
After in depth evaluation of above stated districts the following localities were drafted
as first in line:
· Lyceum from the village Taraclia, district Cueni 290 points;
· Secondary school from the village Antoneti, district Stefan Vod 275
points;
· Lyceum from the village Cazaclia, UTA Gagauzia 220 points;
· Gimnazium from the village Parcova, district Edicne - 220 points;
· Gimnazium from the village Viioara, district Edine - 230 points;
· Gimnazium from the village Viioara, district Glodeni 230 points;
· Gimnazium from the village Boghenii Noi, district Ungheni 275 points;
The communities Cazaclia, district Ceadir Lunga, Parcova district Edinet, could be
included in the list of pilot villages in 2007 with a condition that they will make
additional investments in the objects proposed as pilot demonstration sites. Thus, in
the community Cazaclia, there is a need for the whole renovation of external heat
distribution networks, which have a length of about 100 meters.
- 145 -

Installation of Straw Batch Fired Boilers
Finally the following villages were selected for project replication:
1. Chiscareni, Singerei district done (selected and replicated in January, 2006);
2. Antonesti, Stefan Voda district done (selected and replicated in January, 2007);
3. Taraclia, Causeni district done (selected and replicated in March, 2007);
4. Viisoara, Glodeni district done (selected and replicated in March, 2007);
5. Viisoara, Edinet district done (selected and replicated in April, 2007);
6. Boghenii Noi, Ungheni district done (selected and replicated in April, 2007).
For all above mentioned villages the Technical Design documents have been already
prepared and approved by all necessary authorities in accordance with Moldovan
construction and heating laws requirements in force.
A licensed company was selected to perform procurement and installation of all
equipment necessary for boilers to be installed. All the related works were performed.
The ICB for biomass boilers was also successfully conducted. The first two boilers
have been installed in
November - December
2006, the next 2 boilers
have been installed during
January March, 2007,
while the remaining in
April, 2007. Thus all
proposed boilers have
been installed according
the stipulated
implementation plan.
In order to ensure a wider
replication of Biomass technologies for different types of users (small, medium and
large ones), it was been decided to install 4 different energy capacity sites: up to 100
kW.
Thus, for heating season 2007 2008 the following demonstration units were
selected:
- 146 -

1. Village Antonesti, Stefan Voda district: (i) art school 80 kW capacity
biomass boiler, (ii) kindergarten 80 kW, (iii) post office and library in the
same building 80 kW;
2. Village Volintiri, Stefan Voda district: educational center 80 kW;
3. Villane Burlanesti, Edinet district: school and kindergarten with the same
heating system 300 kW.
All of the above mentioned biomass boilers have been manufactured, transported
and installed and will be connected to the building heating systems by the end of
February 2008.
In the course of boilers operation, cleaning of the large boilers has been identified as
necessity, mostly due to the losses of time and heat during the cleaning of the fire
chambers from ashes. Thus, an experienced local consultant has designed the
mechanism for boiler cleaning, which would allow reducing the time such cleaning
takes, resulting in lesser losses of heat. By the end of February 2008, 3 of such
mechanisms will be manufactured.

ACTIVITIES UNDER COMPONENT B
Selection of agricultural enterprises
Stage 1
The first stage of the process of selection potential sites for implementation of the
"Biomass Project" started with identification enterprises by size. The selection
process and questioning has been performed through the 15 UAP business centers
supported by the regional Associations of Agricultural Producers. The first stage of
the selection process was based on the production area of the enterprises. Based on
this criterion, a number of 192 agricultural companies placed in "focus regions" that
have a production area over 700 hectares have been identified.
Stage 2
The second stage in the process of selection was pre-selection of a number of 30
agricultural companies placed in different zones that would be suitable for project
implementation.
A questionnaire based on a simple ranking, containing the following indicators has
been used for the process of pre-selection of the 30 agricultural companies:
- stable production and an area of over 300 Ha of cereals planted;
- equipment availability (combine harvesters, ag. Tractors);
- interest to produce and supply biomass;
- readiness to implement a project in cooperation with local authorities;
Based on this questionnaire, a number of 134 companies out of 192 have been
contacted by phone and questioned (some companies could not be contacted).
Based on the information collected, a number of 30 agricultural enterprises have
been selected for an in-depth study for identification of best potential pilot sites for
the "biomass" project (see Table).

supplement in local press members of Independent Association Press;
5. REAW Project has been presented within a seminar at the SIFM and at the
international seminar organised by Academy of Sciences from Moldova.
6. Promotion materials have been made in order to perform a massive
promotion campaign at the district counsels within mayors meetings. 9
seminars have been carried out and about 250 mayors, school directors and
other community representatives have been attended.

7. During September 2007 in Chisinau and Balti municipalities have been
organized and carried out 3 seminars in cooperation with ,,Carbon Finance
Unit" on ,,Biomass usage in the rural area and development of the CDM
projects". At least 50 mayors from different raions have been invited and
attended the seminars. In the first part of the seminars presentations
concerning the benefits and the opportunities of the implementation of CDM
projects have been carried out as well as the objectives and results obtained
under the REAW project. In the second part of the seminars, the mayors have
been invited to visit the operating biomass boilers, especially from Chicreni
village, raion Singerei and Antoneti village, Stefan Voda raion.
8. The project has successfully launched web site: www.biomass.md.
Project outcomes by 31.12.2007
a)
Demonstration of social and economic benefits of renewable energy,
including decreased operating costs
As it was projected, project beneficiaries (Chiscareni and Antonesti, so far) indicated
the lower operational cost of heating with a straw fuelled system in comparison with
coal.
Benefits have arisen from: supply side efficiency through the replacement of old and
inefficient coal boilers (less than 50% efficiency) with batch fired straw boilers (80%
efficiency); fuel switch cost savings and security of fuel supply.
Figures are clear relevant to this matter. Taking as a reference first two sites already
replicated under the Project (Chiscareni and Antonesti) the following savings were
registered:
Chiscareni.
This is the case if local budget would have provided 100% financing for coal
procurement equal to actual demand of coal for heating:
unit annual consumption unit price $US total $US
Coal tons
260
105
27 300
Straw tons
350
30
10 500
Savings: 16 800 $US.
- 157 -

The real price for good quality coal in 2006 was 180 $US but taking into
consideration local budget constrains, the Government procured low quality coal in
order to secure some budget savings.
In absence of project, in other words before the project was replicated (installation of
straw boiler), local budget had provided only 46% of actual need of coal for heating.
Hence, before the project, there were very "cold winters" for pupil, school being
heated below all acceptable temperature standards. Thus the following figures shows
real savings which were attained, plus the heat was provided at 100% demand,
according to all national standards, as soon as straw is used as a fuel:
unit annual consumption unit price $US total $US
Coal tons
120
105
12 600
Straw tons
350
30
10 500
Savings: 2 100 $US
In conclusion, estimates of the prime energy costs are US$17/Gcal for straw (US$ 30
per ton with energy content of 11.74 GJ/t) and US$38/Gcal for black coal (US$ 105/t
with energy content of 22.56 GJ/t). The significantly lower biomass fuel costs offset
the higher capital costs of a biomass system, in simple year-payback terms, over 3
seasons.
b)
Identification of least expensive ,,local solutions" for production of
biomass systems
New economic activities have been created dealing with design, specification,
procurement, supply and maintenance of agricultural equipment and biomass fuel
and heating systems.
Implementation of the project has emerged local production of straw boilers.
The first boiler was procured from a Danish company (Passat Energi) produced in
Ukraine. This boiler was installed in Chiscareni.
Rest of the boilers through the international tender (WB ICB rules) was awarder to an
international consortium with Moldavian fiscal residence. This venture was
established by three parties: Local Moldavian industrial producer, French company
providing modern production facilities and Passat Energi, the Danish company which
contributed with the exclusive license for straw batch fired boiler. Hence local
production decreased project implementation cost with 25% per installation.
- 158 -

c)
Encouraging development of straw bale market
Implementation of REAW project is the very first step in a biomass market
development in Moldova.
By 31.12.2007 the project has contributed to production of approx. 1500 t of baled
straw annually.
In absence of REAW project all above stated agricultural enterprises considered
straw as agricultural residue and flared it on their fields.
Transfiguring straw from waste into a market base product brought two types of
additional profits for agricultural enterprises which participated in the project:
1. Actual income from selling of baled straw;
2. Increase the production of straw, production cost of grains decrease
proportionally because a part of production cost of grains are included in
costs of straw production, thus these enterprises decreased wheat grains
production costs by 7-10%.
REAW project has demonstrated that within all these enterprises which were
selected within the project, straw became a valuable product with its own profit
margin for the business.
First contracts for straw marketing signed within the project, raised incomes by $USD
30 35 per ton of sold baled straw, have clearly demonstrated profitability of such
business.
d)
Improvement in global and local air quality for a total capacity of 2,720
kWh
The project resulted environmental benefits through fuel switching from coal to straw,
a carbon neutral fuel; through the supply side technical efficiency of new technology
and from fuel in transport represented by the import by road of coal from the Ukraine
to Moldova. In addition there are marginal emissions abatements if straw is used in
biomass boilers, as N2O emissions can be avoided, which results from straw being
burnt on fields.
Combined fuel switch and efficiency savings produced by the project within
demonstration sites, already replicated conducted to the following global and local air
improvement:

e)
Decrease in dependence on fuel imports
Currently 96% of all fuel requirements are imported. The project impact on imports is
not significant, the significance is the movement to utilize a renewable resource for
public/private buildings with the same profiles as the implemented demonstrations
sites, on base of gained experience and success/lessons learned of the project.
2006-2007 is the most significant year from this point of view. Chiscareni and
Antonesti sites were the first schools in their regions which started the heating
season on time, rest of the schools being on delay of about a month due to the
problem of railway transportation of coal on the Ukrainian board.
f)
Reduction in the field flaring of agricultural wastes
The average level of field burning amounts to about 70% of the annual straw yield of
one million tons. The project stimulated and demonstrated the use of new baling
technologies in Moldova and certainly had effect on the average perception of level
of use of agricultural wastes, in those villages were project was implemented.
Currently project contributed in avoiding of 1500 tons of straw to be flared on the
fields.

Agricultural Pollution Control Project
SUMMARY OF PROJECT DEVELOPMENT OBJECTIVES
The overall project development objective is to increase significantly the use of
mitigation measures by agro-industry and farmers and thereby reduce nutrient (N&P)
discharge from agricultural sources in Moldova to the Danube River and Black Sea.
In support of this objective, the project assists the Government of Moldova to: (i)
promote the adoption of mitigating measures by farmers and agro-industry for
reducing the nutrient loads entering the water bodies these measures would
include better management of household and livestock wastes in the villages, crop
nutrient management, planting of buffer strips and conservation tillage, as well as
dealing with wastewaters from agro-processing units; (ii) strengthen national policy,
regulatory enforcement and institutional capacity for agricultural nutrient pollution
control and organic farming; and (iii) promote a broad public awareness campaign
and replication strategy.
The APCP provides a mix of investments and policy related activities to mainstream
environmental concerns in the agriculture sector. The APCP has been implemented
in close association with the US$40 million IDA-funded Rural Investment and
Services Project (RISP)3 and harnesses the synergies between the two projects,
assisting farmer and agro-industry beneficiaries of RISP to put in place the mitigating
measures necessary to reduce nutrient discharge. The proposed project has also
assisted the Government of Moldova in harmonizing its legislative framework with
relevant European Union (EU) directives and in honoring its international
commitments to reduce nutrient loads to the Danube River and Black Sea. The
proposed APCP follows-on several other pilot projects addressing non-point source
pollution in agriculture that have been successfully launched in Bulgaria, Georgia and
Romania.
Project Global Environmental Objectives: The ultimate goal is to reduce the
discharge of nutrients into the Danube River and Black Sea through integrated land
and water management. Project activities are directly linked to the "Strategic Action
Plan for the Protection and Rehabilitation of the Black Sea" (BSSAP), formulated with
the assistance of the Global Environment Facility (GEF). BSSAP has identified
nutrient discharge from agricultural sources as the most serious problem facing the
3 Negotiations between the Government of Moldova and the World Bank for an IDA credit of US25 million were
completed May 3, 2002.
- 161 -

Black Sea. The Project's objective of reducing non-point source pollution is
consistent with OP No. 8, Water-body based Operational Program, which focuses
mainly on threatened water bodies and the most important trans-boundary threats to
their ecosystems.
The project has assisted Moldova to meet its international commitments to reduce
nutrient loads to the Danube River and the Black Sea from its territory. It is a
signatory to the Convention on Co-operation for the Protection and Sustainable Use
of the Danube River (Sofia, 1994) and a member of the International Commission for
the Protection of the Danube River (Danube Commission). Moldova has also signed
a number of international conventions on environmental protection and biodiversity
conservation, including the Convention on Protection and Use of Trans-boundary
Water Courses and International Lakes (Helsinki, 1992), the Convention on Wetlands
of International Importance especially as a habitat of aquatic birds (Ramsar, 1971),
the Convention on Biological Diversity (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), the Convention on the
Conservation of Migratory Species of Wild Animals (CMS) (Bonn, 1979) and the
Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in Trans-boundary Context
(Espoo, 1991), the Convention on Conservation of European Wildlife and Natural
Habitats (Bern, 1997) and the Convention on International Trade in Endangered
Species of wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), Washington, March 3, 1973. In terms of
regional agreements, Moldova is party to (i) Statement on Lower Danube Green
Corridor signed by Bulgaria, Romania, Ukraine and Moldova, on 5 June, 2000, in
Bucharest, Romania; (ii) Protocol on the Establishing of the Trans-boundary
Biosphere Reserve of Danube Delta and Scientific Reserve "Prutul de Jos", signed
on 27 July, 2000 between Romania and Moldova.
The Project is to implement priority actions identified in the Black Sea/Danube
Strategic Partnership - Nutrient Reduction Investment Fund, Black Sea Strategic
Action Plan, Danube River Strategic Action Plan and Danube River Basin Pollution
Reduction Program supported by GEF. The Project's objective of reducing non-point
source nutrient pollution from agriculture is consistent with GEF Operational Program
Number 8, Waterbody Based Operational Program, which focuses "mainly on
seriously threatened water-bodies and the most important trans-boundary threats to
their ecosystems." Under the Program, priority is accorded to projects that are aimed
at "changing sector policies and activities responsible for the most serious root
causes or needed to solve the top priority trans-boundary environmental concerns."
- 162 -

The Project should provide an opportunity for the GEF to be a catalyst for actions to
bring about the successful integration of improved land and rational use of water
resources. GEF support will reduce costs and barriers to farmers and agro-
processors adopting improved and sustainable agricultural practices. It will help
develop mechanisms to move from demonstration level activities to operational
projects that reduce non-point nutrient pollution to the Danube River and Black Sea.
The project is an extension of the Rural Environmental Protection Project in Poland,
the Agricultural Research, Extension and Training (ARET) Project in Georgia and the
Agricultural Pollution Control Project (APCP) in Romania, that seek to reduce nutrient
flow from the agricultural sector to water bodies.
OVERAL PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Agricultural Pollution Control Project (APCP) has been implemented at two
levels:
At country level APCP in close association with the IDA credit-financed Rural
Investment and Services Project (RISP), which provides post privatization support to
increase rural incomes and living standards by promoting rural entrepreneurship,
agricultural production, economic diversification, and trade in the rural area.
The APCP provides the entrepreneurs/enterprises (individual farmers, farmer
associations, co-operatives and agricultural processors) who borrow under RISP with
a GEF-funded environmental addition to offset the incremental cost of mitigation
measures for nutrient reduction.
APCP also supports the promotion of environment-friendly agricultural practices
through developing of a countrywide public awareness and replication strategy that
primarily includes organization of national and regional workshops, field trips, visits,
training, publication in international agriculture and environmental journals and other
such activities as well as assists the Government of the Republic of Moldova in
harmonizing its legislative framework with relevant European Union (EU) directives,
in particular Nitrate Directive, and in honoring its international commitments to reduce
nutrient loads to the Danube River and Black Sea.
At a selected pilot watershed area in the Hincesti Raion (County) where activities
include: (a) provision of grants on a cost-sharing basis for the installation of improved
manure storage facilities and equipment for manure collection and application; (b)
testing/demonstration of environment-friendly agricultural practices; (c) shrub and
tree planting program, including protective belts along the Lapusna River as well as
shelterbelts, windbreaks, buffer strips, etc; (d) a wetlands management program; (e)
- 163 -

the strengthening of capacity in Hincesti Judet for monitoring water and soil quality
and environmental requirements.
PROJECT COMPONENTS
The project comprises four components:
(i) Promotion of mitigation measures for reducing nutrient load in the water body. This
component has been implemented at two levels: first, in close association with
the Rural Investment Services Project's components for business development,
rural support services and rural finance; second, in a pilot watershed area
comprising part of the Lapusna tributary of the Prut River, where an integrated
watershed management plan will be implemented
(ii) National Level Strengthening of Policy and Regulatory Capacity. The project
supports strengthening of the national legislative, regulatory and institutional
capacity of the government of Moldova in agricultural pollution control. It would
include assistance for harmonizing local and national legislation with EU's
directives on environmental pollution control, including the Nitrates Directive
(91/676/EEC).
(iii) Public Awareness and Replication Strategy. A broad local and nationwide public
information campaign is undertaken to disseminate the benefits of proposed
project activities and achieve replicability of the same. At the local level, the
main audience is the direct stakeholders of the project (local and county officials,
farmers, community groups and NGOs).
(iv) Project Management Unit. A Project Management Unit has been established
under the umbrella of CAPMU. The GEF component provides support for hiring
relevant staff to implement APCP in close association with the RISP.
The GEF/WB Agricultural Pollution Control Project was declared effective on March
23, 2004 and the Grant Agreement signed between the Government of the Republic
of Moldova and International Bank for Reconstruction and Development, acting as an
Implementing Agency of the Global Environment Facility, set fourth the amount
totaling $4,950,000 to be allocated from GEF Trust Fund within a five-year period
(March 22, 2004- June 30, 2009).

In 2006-2007 almost 48,418 tons of manure were stored at these platforms. Ninety
percent had been used as organic fertilizer for winter and spring crops (see
Attachment 2).
The beneficiaries' reports clearly state that this volume is hardly enough to cover the
need for fertilizers as during the last 10 years none of organic fertilizers have been
applied on farmers' land. A low quantity of mineral fertilizers was applied due to high
cots.

Since project launch and up to date, the number of the most common livestock
species has remained at the same level except for cattle. Since 2003 to 2007, the
number of cattle had decreased almost by half due to the severe drought that
occurred in 2007. The climatic conditions of the current year are favorable for field
crops therefore it is expected that there will be high yields resulting in increased
livestock.

Investments in the irrigation systems outrun those in manure storage facilities by
25%. With the last year's drought, the demand for such investments has increased
significantly due to low water consumption and high yields that such installations can
guarantee.

The contribution of beneficiaries in this category exceeds 35% of the total project
cost due to the fact that most of the beneficiaries own large farms which require large
irrigation systems but according to the operational manual the APCP cannot grant
more that 50,000 USD for this activity.
Training: In 2007 establishing of the demonstration plots with environment-friendly
agricultural practices continued (under CSA) in the three regions of Moldova.
In this context, at "Vasile Buzimuga" Farm, situated in the central part of the country
- 170 -

(Meleseni village, Calarasi district) the following works were conducted: every second
row of the orchard on 2.5 ha of land was sown with grass; perennial grass was
planted on 4.5 ha of arable land; soil conservation works were conducted; the
earthen embankment and the land adjacent to the catchments pond were leveled
which further shall be covered with cernosem and nurse crops; the soil around the
trees and bushes of the shelterbelt was loosened manually; in addition, the owner of
the farm received more planting material to lengthen the shelterbelt by 700 meters.
This should also help reduce soil loss from the steep slop neighboring the sheepfold
and to strengthen the earthen embankment. This farm is trying to demonstrate the
role of the following environment-friendly agricultural practices in reducing soil and
nutrient losses: cover crops, minimum tillage, riverbank management, buffer strips
and sheltebelts.
With the northern demonstration plot, provided by "Lelic Nicolaie" Farm, it is
intended to show to the farmers the high-yield benefit of using crop rotation systems
and the importance of grassed waterways in reducing run-offs. These two were
installed successfully in 2007. Additionally, the following environment-friendly
agricultural practices were installed at this farm: vegetative forest belts and crop
rotation. The species of trees of forest belts have high nutrient uptake level.
At the southern plot, situated in Stefan Voda district, 43 walnut trees and 23
chestnuts were planted in 2007 to fill the gaps in plantings left from the previous year.
The purpose of this row of trees is anti-erosional. With installation of drip irrigation the
farmers become aware of the water management. In addition to these, the owner of
the farm supported with his own resources promotion of contour ploughing, riverbank
management, buffer strips, crop rotation and minimum tillage.
The purpose pf these demo plots is to shown to the farmers the benefits of using
environment-friendly agricultural practices in terms of high yields, increased income
and improved health. Around 85 regional seminars have been organized during 2007
with participation of 2 177 people. Among these were farmers, local authorities,
environmental specialists etc. Another 110 people visited the demo plots apart from
the organized seminars. Through ACSA a set of posters on environment-friendly
agricultural practices was printed and disseminated among participants. The Code of
Good Agricultural Practiced has also been disseminated through ACSA service
providers.
According to the questioning conducted during each seminar ninety percent of
participants replied that the seminars were well organized, very informative and the
- 171 -

training materials contained useful information. The survey also revealed that the
farmers were more interested in manure management, conservation tillage, crop
rotation and pastures' rejuvenation. Most of them underlined that such practices as
crop rotation and pasture rejuvenation could not be implemented in their localities
due to excessive parceling of the land and lack of money needed for the mayoralties
to restore the pastures. As a follow up to this initiative about 6 300 ha of land is now
under minimum tillage, crop rotation is applied on 6 700 ha, pasture rejuvenation and
intercropping is on 253 ha and forest belts on 900 ha.
ACTIVITIES IN THE PILOT WATERSHED AREA
Manure Management Practices:
To date three communal manure storage and handling facilities and 450 household
platforms have been established in the pilot area: Negrea in December 2004 and
Lapusna & Carpineni in November 2005. Another 22 household pits have been
constructed by farmers with their own resources in the Negrea comuna.
In Negrea, the local Farmers' Association contracted by the Mayor to handle
collection and field application has continued to deliver well-segregated livestock and
other waste to the platform. Subsequently, another 2 685 tons of manure were
hauled in 2007 and the mayor managed to sell 20 tons of composted material at 150
lei/ton. Of the total amount accumulated in 2007 the Farmers' Association received
2 400 tons of compost. Around 7 235 tons have been brought to the communal
platform of Negrea since project launch. The mayor managed to draft a schedule
according to which transportation of manure from household platforms to the
communal one is being ensured by the Farmers' Association.
In Carpineni, in 2007 the Mayor managed to collect at the communal platform 1 900
tons of manure. Of this amount 15 tons were hauled by householders with their own
transportation means and the other amount by Vasile Rosca, a farmer from this
comuna. In return for his services, Vasile Rosca received composted material which
was spread onto his land. Furthermore, at the last meeting of the local councilmen
that took place in December 2007 it was agreed to concession the manure
management system to this farmer. The Concession Agreement is available in the
APCP's office.
In the meantime, four unauthorized dumping pits were removed in the Carpineni
comuna and the area adjacent to the communal platform totaling 18 ha was put back
- 172 -

into agricultural use. The mayor also requested help in conducting more public
awareness events in his community.
In Lapusna the manure management system was concessioned to the Farm "Rotaru
Lucia Chiril" which is also a beneficiary of the APCP/RISP Program. A contract has
been drafted and signed between the owner of the Farm and the ex-mayor of
Lapusna mayoralty, Mr. Ion Bubuioc (another mayor is now ruling here). In 2007, the
owner of the farm, Rotary Vasile, managed to haul to the communal platform around
1000 tons of well-segregated manure. However, several farmers brought manure to
the platform by their own transportation means.
To sum, all three manure managements systems are functional. In addition, the civil
engineer and the RISP BDA have been elaborating the business plans which should
be negociated and approved shortly.
Promotion of environment-friendly agricultural practices and soil monitoring:
According to the contract signed in May 2007, the Soil Institute was continuing to
implement the Program for testing/demonstration of environment friendly agricultural
practices. To date it managed to purchase 10 items of laboratory equipment totaling
29 600 USD which have been delivered, installed and ready for chemical analyses of
the soil.
Last year eight testing/demonstration plots with environment friendly agricultural
practices were established in the Negrea comuna and four in Pascani. In Negrea
these were: manure management (2 plots), grassed-waterways, stripcropping, nurse
crops in vineyars, buffer strip, crop rotation and minimum tillage. In Pascani the
following testing/demo plots were established during 2007: stripcropping, soil
conservation, grassed-waterways and nurse crops in vineyards. The observations
showed that conservation tillage reduces soil loss by 32%, crop rotation practice by
64% and stripcropping by 35%. However, the last two practices, that is stripcropping
and crop rotation did not reduce soil loss to the allowed limit of 5-6 t/ha, therefore, it
is suggested that additional anti-erosional measures be applied such as soil fissuring
and use of mole-ditching machine. Additionally, nutrient losses by run-offs are 1.6 -
2.8 times lower when sowing catch crops between vine rows.
Based on the analyses of manure samples (23 in total) taken from the communal
platforms from Negrea, Lapusna and Carpineni, the following recommendations
could be made: in the case of field crops it is recommended to apply 20 to 60 tons of
compost per hectare and in the case of trees and vineyards the Soil Institute
recommends to apply 60 to 80 tons of compost per hectare.
- 173 -

As to the nutrient management, the total area used in 2007 for promoting this good
agricultural practice constituted 6,845 ha of land with participation of farmers from the
Negrea, Floresti, Drochia, Anenii Noi, Hincesti and Donduseni districts.
The Soil Institute also conducted several seminars intended to raise the
understanding of the farmers on the benefits of using environment-friendly
agricultural practices. These took place in 11 districts of Moldova in were organized
upon request of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Industry and Academy of
Science. As a follow up a total of 7727 farmers have uptaken at least one nutrient
reduction technology on a total area of 10,230 ha.
Agro-forestry and wetland restoration: During 2007 ICAS planted another 24.5 ha
of forest which makes 93.5 ha in total since project launch. These were distributed as
follows: Crpineni & Sofia 19.5 ha and Negrea 5 ha. In addition, forest
rehabilitation works were conducted on 100 ha of land. The Institute of Forestry
made the estimates of the failed saplings due to the drought that occurred last year
and it reaches the value of 38.5 ha. The cost for rehabilitating this vegetation is
almost 25,000 USD. This money needs to be provided in the 2008 budged.
As to the wetland area, repairing of the bridges have taken place; and, planting and
replacement of wetland vegetation have been completed on 15 ha of land.
Negotiations for prohibiting drainage of the agricultural areas adjacent to the wetland
zone have come to a consensus: no works shall be launched until an environmental
impact assessment is conducted and a win-win proposal is made. The
"ACVAPROECT"(Acvaproject) Institute said that their would need US$4,500 to drill in
the area in order to find out what is the geological structure here. This is part of the
study and it should help them make the appropriate recommendations. It is proposed
that the APCP cover these expenses. Another recommendation made by ICAS is to
conduct a faunistic and floristic study in the wetland area in order to evaluate the
improvements in the biodiversity of the area. This study requires another 4,500 USD.
This money also needs to be provided in the 2008 budget.
ICAS jointly with the ACVAPROIECT Institute took 8 water samples in the wetland
area during 2007. Sampling was made during various climatic events. The results
show that at the point where the Lapusnita river spills into the Prut river the
concentration of nitrogen and phosphorus decreases which bespeaks of the high
filtration capacity of the area.
- 174 -

Water Quality Monitoring: After an extensive consultation process the 2007
contract was signed between the CAPMU and Hidrometeo in October 2007.
According to the contract the Hidrometeo was continuing to sample surface water at
8 monitoring sites according to the upstream-downstream and paired-watershed
approach. Nine hidro-chemical and 2 hidro-biological parameters were used for
evaluating water quality of the Lapusnita based on the norms for maximum allowable
limits set forth by the Law on sanitary-epidemiological provision of the population.
As to the underground water monitoring, in 2006 in the pilot area seventeen wells
were selected for this purpose. In 2007 Hidrometeo was continuing underground
water sampling at those wells. Sixty eight samples had been taken for that purpose.
However, it is too early to detect the trend in the underground water quality since
very little data is available.
As to the surface water quality, two and a half years monitoring period is not enough
to measure trends in water quality as a response to BMPs promoted by the project.
For instance, at some monitoring sites the concentration of nitrites shows an upward
trend and at others a downward trend within 2004-2007. On the other hand, the
dynamics of ammonium in water indicates a decrease at most of the monitoring sites.
This may be associated with the project interventions and raised public awareness in
the entire pilot area. It is known that ammonium is an indicator of fresh contamination
originated from manure and waste water. By removing this, pollution by ammonium
decreases. Unlike nitrogen compounds the phosphorous variables indicate a more
straightforward pattern. Particularly, during 2005-2006 all monitoring sites show a
reduction trend in ortho-phosphates (P_PO4) and total phosphorus concentrations
(P_total) in surface water, both for the main stream and for the tributaries. These
facts can be linked with project's interventions as well and in addition with the
precipitation pattern as rainfalls and after-rain land run-off are the main source of
river contamination by phosphorous compounds. (for more information on the water
quality trends see Water Quality Evaluation Report 2004-2006).
With regards to delays in purchasing the water flow equipment and the mobile
phones for local operators it has been agreed for this to be done 2008. Accordingly,
the mobile phone shall be purchased until January 30 and the water flow
measurement equipment is to be delivered until March 20th.

STRENGTHENING NATIONAL POLICY, REGULATORY ENFORCEMENT AND NATIONAL CAPACITY
Code of Good Agricultural Practices (GAP):
After an extensive revision process and following the approval by the main
stakeholders of the latest version of the Code of Good Agricultural Practices it was
finally published in July 2007. Around 500 copies of the CGAP were published and
the only language used was Romanian. It contains 108 pages of 60x84/16 size.
The Code was launched on November 14, 2007 with participation of 48 people.
Among them were the Minister of Ecology and Natural Resources, Mr. Mihailescu,
Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Food Industry, Mr. Calancea, representatives of
the Academy of Sciences, local authorities, specialists working for the regional
agricultural departments, extension people, farmers and mass-media
representatives. Both the Minister of Ecology and the Deputy Minister of Agriculture
had underlined the importance of the Code in the context of the country's strategy for
sustainable development of agriculture and on behalf of the GoM were very pleased
with its publication. Specials thanks were conveyed to all those who had contributed
to its editing from both the WB and local team. The Launching Conference
highlighted the need for a dissemination campaign and publishing of more copies of
the CGAP. Another recommendation would be to prepare a Guide of Good
Agricultural Practices.
Organic farming:
Following the study carried out on behalf of the World Bank/GEF and as part of the
EC Tacis-funded Joint Environmental Programme (JEP) to Strengthen the Policy and
Regulatory Capacity for Organic Agriculture in Moldova, the country has managed to
fulfill many of the proposed recommendations related to approval of the food safety
law and the law on organic farming; establishing of the competent authority and
inspection and certification bodies; identification of key products for export etc and
others.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Agriculture has requested financial support amounting to
25,000 USD for conducting: an informative seminar for organic producers, scientific
institutions and district public authorities; one demonstrational seminar for
representatives from the MAFI, scientific institutions, district agricultural sections,
organic producers etc; a study tour in Romania (12-14 people) in order to learn from
- 176 -

the Romanian experience in the field; a feasibility study for development of the local
market of organic products; and, for publishing a Guide for organic farmers in
conversion.
PUBLIC AWARENESS AND REPLICATION STRATEGY
Selection of the Public Awareness Team has finally occurred. Two companies have
reached the final stage of selection. Of the two, the Ecological Movement of Moldova
has won the bid based on the highest total score reached after combined quality and
cost evaluation. The Contract with the EMM has been signed and work started.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC EMPOWERMENT PROJECT
Overall project objective: The project objective is to enable disadvantaged rural
and peri-urban young women and men (ages 14-30) in selected regions to create /
participate in activities leading to their increased socio-economic empowerment,
through inclusive support for business creation and innovative, community-based
service delivery.
YSEEP specific objectives (i) increase the number of isolated and vulnerable youth
(14-30) who adopt positive social practices as a result of innovative social service
delivery
(ii) strengthen the capacity of local public and private (NGOS/CBOs) youth-serving
providers and decision makers to reach out to the most vulnerable young
women/girls and men/boys and to address their needs and interests in a participatory
and integrated manner; (iii) increase the number of viable micro-enterprises own by
youth (18-30) who initially faced both a lack of business development skills and
exclusion from credit due to lack of material assets for collateral
During October December 2007 various activities were performed towards the
accomplishment of the objectives related to the ,,Youth Social-Economic
Empowerment" Project (YSEEP).
Component A. Support to Civil Society Initiatives and Village Outreach
§
The project Technical Council Meeting
The major objective of the meeting was the quality analysis of the presented
intermediate reports for the 1st and 2nd Grant Lines. To reach this goal, the
intermediate reports' assessment matrix was used. The reports quality has been
analyzed based on the project proposals. The information in the matrix showed that
the activities were performed according to the Action Plan from the Project
Proposals. No major deviations were detected. The members of the Technical
Council analyzed all the information from the matrix and decided to allow the transfer
of disbursements to the beneficiaries that have reached the second disbursement. As
for the beneficiaries that requested the last disbursement, especially the Youth
Resource Centers, it was decided that monitoring field trips need to be carried out
prior to the disbursement transfer.
Another subject discussed at the Technical Council Meeting was the templates for
the Action Plan and the Final Report. The Action Plan contains activities and actions
and timeframe for their accomplishment, the expected results, the total estimated
- 178 -

number of beneficiaries, gender aggregation, threats that could impede the
accomplishment of planned activities and the responsible person from the project.
The template for the final report had as a basis the project proposals and the
structure of the intermediate reports. The final report will contain some information
presented in the project proposal: data regarding the project, description of the
project, the results and the impact of the activities on the community, collaboration
with the LPAs, projects sustainability, lessons learned, and recommendations etc.
The Technical Council members accepted the templates for the Action Plan and the
Final Report.
§
Working session with the 1st and 2nd grant line beneficiaries
November started with a working session with the 1st and 2nd grant line beneficiaries
that gathered 38 project managers. During the working session the project
coordinator presented comments and recommendations to the narrative and financial
reports and a template for the final report on projects implementation. The meeting
was very interactive, as the grant line beneficiaries had put a lot of questions
regarding various issues related to their activity.
To ensure an efficient communication, the beneficiaries were requested to submit an
article with their project major accomplishments. The project beneficiaries were also
requested to develop the Project Card with the projects description to ensure visibility
and communication with project stakeholders. The templates for the Action Plan,
Revised Budget, and the Project Card were developed by YSEEP with the purpose
to facilitate the upcoming activities and ensure projects synergy.
§
Collection of Narrative Intermediate Reports
For the 1st grant line beneficiaries, the statistical situation is the following: 18
intermediate reports were received, out of which all 18 were submitted to CAPMU for
disbursement: 5 reports for the 2nd payment and 13 for the 3rd payment. The project
has to receive 9 more reports: 2 reports for the 2nd payment and 7 for the 3rd
payment. The project coordinator discussed with the project managers about this
situation and agreed to extend the contracts with them.
For the 2nd grant line beneficiaries, the statistical situation is the following: 17
intermediate reports were received, out of which 16 were submitted to CAPMU for
disbursement and 1 need to be completed. The project has to receive 1 more report.

§
Ongoing help desk support to all NGOs and Youth Resource Centres
During the reporting period, the project Coordinator provided ongoing help desk
support to 1st and 2nd Grant Line beneficiaries in issues related to intermediate
reporting, changes in activity plans, budget revisions, final reporting, events
organized, challenges faced, project cards development, etc.
§
Organizational activities
The World Bank offered to procure original software for the Youth Resource Centres
created with the YSEEP support. Therefore, all the 25 YRC managers were
announced to provide the specifications, year of production and the amount of
Computers procured for the YRC. 14 offers were provided, as several Youth
Resource Centres had already procured the original software. The offers with
specifications were forwarded to the World Bank.
§
Field visits
Several monitoring and evaluation field trips were organized to the project
beneficiaries.
YRC "Galantus" Falesti, Navirnet
The project coordinator met the YRC manager, Mr. Adrian Gaina. The manager
presented the centre and its activities. At that moment there were several youngsters
working on the PC and searching in the Internet. The manager mentioned the good
cooperation with the village school and the mayoralty. The future activities were also
discussed as well as the YRC sustainability after the project completion. The
manager suggested some changes in the upcoming activities and asked the project
permission to procure sport equipment instead of furniture, given the beneficiaries'
needs. The request for procurement of sport equipment has been approved by the
project coordinator and was submitted to CAPMU for the final approval.
YRC "Pro Nova", Nisporeni
The YRC is well organized, equipped and has several rooms. The activities are in
line with the reported ones. The centre is providing trainings in PC, Internet, English
language courses for beginners. The YRC has good support from the rayon
Education and Sport Directorate. During the monitoring visit, the project coordinator
met the Head of Education and Sport Directorate and the Specialist on Youth and
Sport Issues. They both highlighted the importance of the YRC for the community
and their support in its further implementation of activities.

health evaluation of pupils in a series of schools in Edinet. The activities continue and
more beneficiaries approach the Salve Clinic for advice and information.
NGO "Adolescentul" Singerei, Chiscareni
The trip to Chiscareni was held during the Youth Week. The project coordinator
participated at the annual meeting of the National Youth Resource Centre.
Representatives from the YRCs all over the country met in Chiscareni to discuss
common issues and share their experience. During the meeting the best practices of
Chiscareni civic initiatives were presented. The former Youth Creation Centre, now
reorganized into an YRC, offers an impressive amount of leisure activities for all the
children from the community. Activities vary from access to Internet, tourism,
dancing, canto, cloths design, and sport activities. The youth local council is very
active in Chiscareni, given the fact that is was the first one to be created in the
country.
The participants at the annual meeting also had the chance to see other NGOs
activities and one of them was the YSEEP 2nd grand line beneficiary - "Adolescentul".
This NGO presented its good practices for offering information services in the
community. The NGO has its own facility; it is well organized and equipped. Its
activities complement the YRC activities in offering information and organizing
different events with local youngsters. All NGOs in the community have managed to
establish excellent working relations with Local Authorities.
NGO "Mihaela", Criuleni;
The project coordinator met the NGO manager, Mrs. Natalia Dragoman. The
manager presented the NGO and its activities. The NGO changed its location to the
Youth Creation Centre. It has 54 beneficiaries. Its activities are entirely focused on
Gipsy community from Criuneli region. The NGOs offers a whole range of activities
tailored to the youngsters' needs and preferences. The range of activities vary from:
handicraft, sewing and needle work, IT courses, support in preparing homework (for
Gipsy children), courses of English Languages, music therapy, psychological support
and social assistance. The NGO has very good cooperation with the Local Public

Administration. The future activities were also discussed as well as the NGO
sustainability after the project completion.
NGO "Luceafarul" Balti;
The project coordinator met the NGO Manager, Mrs. Cornelia Cinciuc. The NGO
activities are held at the Youth Creation Centre. The NGOs is running its activities
according to the Action Plan, having 6 major areas of activity: beading, folk dances,
social theatre, fine needle-work, natural souvenirs, and artistic make-up. More than
90 youngsters are attending these activities, with an average of 15 young people per
activity. These young people were involved in different Christmas events and offered
their handcrafts to children from Balti Municipality Hospital. The NGO activities would
continue during the next year.
NGO "Onoarea si dreptul femeii contemporane" Balti
The project coordinator met the team: Mrs. Olga Patlati (NGO manager); Diana
Sanduleac (trainer); and Olesea Cazacu (trainer). The NGO facilities were presented;
the training room is very well equipped and offers space for more than 30
youngsters. The project team is preparing for the Job Fair to be held in a few days
together wit the Local Employment Agency and 10 local economic entities. The target
group represents the graduate students from the Universities, Collegiums and
Vocational Schools.
The project focuses on the provision of trainings on career planning, offers
information on employment possibilities and facilitates the employment among youth
through the Job Fair "Career Days". More than 400 youngsters were trained on topics
related to career opportunities. A Guide "First Steps in Career" was developed and
disseminated among all participants and NGO visitors. The NGO is very active,
having a lot of support from the LPAs, Local Employment Agency, Vocational
schools, High-schools, Colleges and Universities. The NGOs is daily visited by
interested youth in learning new things about employment and get informational
support.
"Cutezatorii" Drochia, Hasnasenii Mari
Given the burglary that took place at the NGO "Cutezatorul", Drochia, Hasnasenii
Mari, on November 9, 2007, a field trip was organized to assess the situation of the
YRC. The centre lost all the technical equipment (5 PCs and 1 copy machine)
procured from YSEEP grant in the value of 39773 MDL. The police started its
investigations; a penal case was open on 14 of November 2007. The project
- 182 -

coordinator and the CAPMU Executive Director were announced about the produced
incident.
The project manager met Mr. Valeriu Varmari (NGO manager) and Mrs. Tatiana
Balan (Mayor) and discussed the situation. Currently the YRC is not functioning due
to the loss of equipment, but the local representatives assured that security
measures will be taken to avoid such situations in the future. The mayor assured to
contract a watch man during the night. The NGO manager wants to restart the NGO
activity as soon as possible and given that the project has to receive the last
disbursement, Mr. Varmari requested a change in the budget to be able to procure
one computer for the NGO activities. Based on the assessment made and
stakeholders' commitment, the project manager approved the change in the budget.
YRC "Gura Ichelului" Criuleni, Cosernita
The situation of this YRC is complex, as all activities were suspended in November
2007 when the Centre was offered another location to provide its activities and later
on, the YRC's Project Coordinator left to work abroad.
Initially the YRC location was at the Cosernita village municipality. The centre had
one spacious room where the technical equipment (6 computers, 1 printer, 1 fax), the
furniture and the sport equipment were displayed and offered access to information
and sport activities for youngsters. Due to the produced noise and unorganized
activities, the YRC coordinator was suggested to change the location of the centre
and another place was offered. Unfortunately, the coordinator was not willing to
change the location and took all the equipment from the Municipality and up till now it
is not known where it is stored.
The project coordinator went to see the situation and discussed with the Mayor of
Cosernita Village. The mayor showed the former location where the YRC used to
carry out its activities. The project coordinator was also shown the offered location,
which is situated several hundred meters from the Municipality. The mayor and the
School Director suggested that the technical equipment and sport equipment to be
offered to school, therefore ensuring that village youngsters could benefit at least to
some extend from this equipment. Written requests were submitted to the Project
office.
The project coordinator tried to get in touch with Stanislav Sajin, the YRC project
coordinator but unfortunately all attempts ended up with failures. This unfortunate
situation was reported to project stakeholders. CAPMU offered to write an info note
to Stanislav Sajin announcing him about the termination of the contract and that all
- 183 -

JSDF equipment should be returned back. Also CAPMU will make a formal request
to the Ministry and Education and Youth to ask its opinion regarding the available
equipment and its further use.
Component B: Inclusive Business Development for Youth Economic
Empowerment
§
Meeting with the Development Agencies (DAs)
Under the Component B ,,Inclusive business development for the youth economic
empowerment" the YSEEP activities are focused on monitoring and the post-creation
assistance to the enterprises launched by youth, during two years (2005 - 2007).
During October 2007 the Activity Reports for the 2nd and 3rd Quarter were collected
and assessed.
A meeting with the managers from the Development Agencies: ACA, CCA, CDR,
MEGA was called for a better documentation on the activities carried out by the micro
enterprises. During the meeting the following topics were discussed: the situation of
the young entrepreneurs, the difficulties they encounter, the successful businesses,
failures and the reason of failure, the types of consultancies provided, the monitoring
& evaluation system applied, the businesses sustainability, and future perspectives,
etc.
DAs representatives mentioned that the cooperation with the young entrepreneurs is
continuous and productive. The consultancy relates to management, marketing,
accounting, production technology. The young entrepreneurs come to agencies to
ask for different information and of course, consultancy. Several successful
businesses were mentioned. There is a Ltd. in Singerei rayon that produces window
profiles. The turnover for August 2007 constituted 40,000.00 USD. The young
entrepreneur has managed to create 12 working places and provides a salary
payment for his workers of about 200-500 USD per month. The experience of
another successful young business lady, who works on decorative stone, was also
brought into discussion. She has managed to be very successful. Another example
constitutes a successful business in the field of car service provision; the business is
developing, as a new shop for selling parts was recently opened.
Some young entrepreneurs do encounter difficulties in their activities. An example on
Internet services providers was given. Licensed software is extremely expensive;
therefore the young entrepreneurs try to find out ways to settle this issue.
- 184 -

Unfortunately there are 2 cases of business failure: one business in the field of car
service provision the reason of its fall down served the unjustified verifications from
the local authorities, and the other business, active in the field of agriculture, failed
due to this summer drought.
The DAs mentioned that launching of partnership financial-banking programs that
would offer preferential credits for the small enterprise development would be very
appropriate. It was also mentioned how important is to involve the youth in business,
as this serves as an incentive for them to become more active in the community,
establish relations with other partners, LPAs, benefit from specialized trainings.
As regards the monitoring & evaluation system, the DAs mentioned that a continuous
financial monitoring and credit disbursement is being performed. At the moment, the
credit disbursements are done according to the timeframe, without deviations. New
created work places, contributions to the social fund, the level of salary payment, the

Presentation of economic component at GUAM Youth Forum
During 16-17 November the Republic of Moldova hosted the GUAM Youth Forum
that gathered representatives from Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and the Republic of
Moldova (14 people). The Republic of Lithuania and Estonia (3 representatives)
jointed the GUAM Youth Forum, as observers. The delegations discussed a series of
social and economic issues, such as education, employment, and science. The
young representatives shared opinions, experience and suggested recommendations
on discussed topics and a forum resolution was developed.
The GUAM representatives were also introduced the YSEEP experience on youth
economic empowerment. The project coordinator presented the economic
component, having described the process of potential candidates' selection, trainings
received, the role of the Development Agencies, the types of businesses created,
employment, and post-creation assistance. The presentation raised a lot of questions
from the audience and interest in this model of youth entrepreneurship. Handouts
with Power Point Presentation were disseminated among participants.
§
Development of the Final Report Template for the post creation
assistance provided by the Development Agencies and collection of the
final reports.
A Final Template Report has been developed with the purpose of summarizing the
most important achievements during the post-creation assistance. The Report
- 185 -

focuses on the following issues: categories of provided consultancy, Monitoring and
Evaluation, beneficiaries' situation at the end of 4Q 2007 (sales volume and
summary of current situation). The situation with the working places created (initially
and currently) and the average salaries at the beginning and at the moment would
also be reflected. Another issue to be revealed in the Final Report would be the
current situation of the investment credits reimbursement. The reports will also
contain the businesses sustainability and the challenges faced by the young
entrepreneurs, as well as the final conclusions and recommendations. The
Development Agencies were provided with the report templates and as agreed will
submit the Final Report in January 2008.
§
Outline of the Final Reports
The most frequent consultancies provided were on topics related to Marketing/Sales,
Management and Finance / Accounting. Beyond consultancy, the Development
Officers conducted systematic monitoring of the businesses.
The beneficiaries' situation evaluated every year, therefore from the 143 businesses
initially created, 139 are active at the moment, which represents 97,2% from the total
number of enterprises. Almost all entrepreneurs developed their businesses,
increased sales, created new jobs and raised salaries as well as enhanced their
technical capacities. 49 entrepreneurs already reimbursed their bank loans and many
of them already applied for new credits to procure assets. The number of new
working places created increased with 77 jobs compared to 277 working places
initially created and 354 at the moment. The majority of employed staff is youngsters,
namely 254 boys and 100 girls. The average salary per month constitutes 1340 MDL
compared to 898 MDL in 2005. The majority of created businesses are successfully
running their activities and this represents a sign of their sustainability.
Component C: Gender Capacity Building and Mainstreaming
During the reporting period the project coordinator drafted the TOR for an
international expert to provide the Training of Trainers on Gender issues. The main
objectives of the TOT would be to strengthen the local / national trainers' capacities
in Gender issues and ensure equal employment opportunities for girls/women and
boys/men. Therefore, a Training of approximately 20 local / national trainers is
envisaged to be conducted. The TOR will be fine-tuned and the procurement
services of international consultancy services will be launched during the first months
of 2008, according to the project Action Plan.
- 186 -

Component D: Youth Driven Participatory Monitoring and Evaluation
Activities to be carried out within this component will be held during 2008.
Component E: Youth Regional Focus Points for Grant management and Audit
The TOR for 5 regional experts in Monitoring & Evaluation of JSDF social projects
was developed. The regional consultants to be contracted will ensure an efficient
monitoring and evaluation of the projects financed within the social component of the
Youth Socio-Economic Empowerment Project.
The regional consultants will be responsible for:
§ Fine-tuning the monitoring and evaluation system of the YRCs' activities and
services provision based on the Implementation Guide of the Minimum Quality
Standards for Youth Resource Centres;
§ Collecting all base line data and current indicators for the Monitoring & Evaluation
System;
§ Ensuring ongoing communication with projects' management, staff and
beneficiaries as well as participation in their activities and trainings to be held;
§ Conducting evaluation meetings with YRCs management based on the
achievements of the trainings held and minimum quality standards applied;
According to planned activities, several TORs for contracting a Logistical Company, a
Communication Officer, and an Advertising Agency were drafted and submitted to
project stakeholders for revision and approval.
§
Synergy Meeting with IOM
With the purpose of ensuring synergy among projects, the YSEEP met OIM
representatives. Mr. Ghenadie Cretu, the Project Coordinator presented the IOM
project on Remittances. The project funded by the European Commission is
implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Economy and Trade of the Republic
of Moldova. The project will contribute to improving the normative and regulatory
framework for the implementation of policies aiming to maximize economic gains
from migrant remittances to develop small and medium business and ensure
economic growth. Therefore, the synergy of these two projects in the context of youth
entrepreneurship, involvement of former migrants in economic activities, and
investment of remittances in business development constitutes common objectives.
- 187 -

Given the fact that the YSEEP envisages to carry out a Feasibility Study on Socio-
Economic Youth Empowerment, the OIM offered its openness to provide some input
on migration and remittances issues in the draft questionnaire to be applied in this
assessment. The questionnaire is in the process of development and IOM
experience will be much appreciated. Moreover, the IOM suggested their support in
mentioning the YSEEP in the upcoming information campaigns.
§
Meeting with Anatol Gobjila, World Bank
The Project Coordinator met the World Bank coordinator of the YSEEP, Mr. Anatol
Gobjila. The project activities, results and issues faced were presented. All
supporting documents were also provided. Organizational and reporting issues were
also discussed and it was agreed that monthly narrative reports will be submitted to
the WB. There is no strict template for the reports and action plans, therefore it was
agreed to develop templates based on projects peculiarities that would ensure
efficient planning and reporting.
Due to the changes produced at the level of Ministry management, Mr. Gobjila
recommended to update the nominal lists of the Technical and Coordination Councils
and spread the information to the project stakeholders.
§
Meeting with Minister of Education and Youth
The Project Coordinator had a meeting with the Minister of Education and Youth,
Mrs. Victor Tvircun. Mr. Ion Ceban was also present. The project activities,
accomplishments and issues were presented during the meeting. Questions
regarding the level of disbursement for the 1st and 2nd Grant line beneficiaries and the
situation on the economic component were asked.
§
Study Visit to Lithuania
Based on the signed agreement between the Ministry of Education and Youth of the
Republic of Moldova and the Secretary of the State Council of Youth Affairs of the
Republic of Lithuania on March 23, 2006, a Study Visit on ,,Exchange of good
practice examples in youth issues: Organization Structures and the Legal Framework
in the field of youth" was held. The Moldovan delegation met representatives of youth
structures and youth organizations, such as: the parliamentary commission for Youth
and Sport, The Department of Youth Affairs under the Ministry of Social Security and
Labor, the Agency for International Youth Cooperation (implementing the Youth in
Action), Association of Local Youth Coordinators, Lithuanian Youth Council,
Kaisiadorys Municipality and the Youth Organizations. All the meetings were
- 188 -

extremely useful, interesting, and dynamic and served as a good background for
experience exchange between youth policies in Moldova and Lithuania.
The project coordinator introduced the YSEEP activities during all the meetings with
the purpose to present the Moldovan experience of the Youth Resource Centres and
the businesses created and managed by youth. The Lithuanian experience in these
fields was also shared. The Lithuanian Government Programme for 2006-2008 seeks
to encourage youth entrepreneurship and reduce unemployment as well as support
cultural and educational activities among youth. At the moment the Youth
Entrepreneurship in Lithuania is focused more on social issues rather than on
economic aspect. There are also Business Information Centres in the country and
they offer consultancy and advice to young people, training courses and
consultations on business development.
There are also Youth Centres that provide a broad range of services, such as: leisure
activities, psychological and information support to youngsters, access to Internet.
The Lithuanian Youth centres are not offering such a big package of services as
Moldovan centres do. They are focused on limited services that cover a specific
target group. The Lithuanian representatives expressed their strong willingness to
see the Moldovan YRCs experience and apply it in their country.
The output of the study visit resulted in drafting an Action Plan for 2008 that
stipulated a range of activities to be implemented by both Moldovan and Lithuanian
Youth Departments and also included experience exchange on youth socio-
economic empowerment.
· Action plan updated and the project budget revised for 2008. Approval
of the Action Plan and the Budget by the Project Technical Council
The project Action Plan for 2008 was updated based on the project Operational
Manual and Ministry of Education and Youth priorities. The Action Plan will focus on
provision of assistance in strengthening project beneficiaries' capacities. The project
envisages continuing to provide grant assistance to the 1st grant line beneficiaries,
and provide small grants under the 3rd grant line to strengthen Local Youth Councils
capacities to organize different youth related activities, such as social
entrepreneurship and partnership activities with LPAs for the implementation of the
Local Youth Strategies and the Local Youth Action Plans.
The project also intends to strengthen the capacities of Youth Resource Centres
through specific modules of trainings in order to be able to apply the Minimum Quality
Standards for the Youth Resource Centres. The Youth Resource Centres
- 189 -

representatives will benefit from trainings in organizational development and
partnership, community participation and outreach activities, communication,
sustainability, Monitoring and Evaluation, gender and career planning. Moreover, the
JSDF financed projects will be monitored and evaluated on continuous basis and the
monitoring and evaluation indicators will be collected for the Monitoring Information
System.
Having as purpose to create 30 LYCs, the project intends to organize training
sessions for the initiative groups and a summer school for the newly created LYCs.
The capacities of the LPAs, MEY, and National Resource Centre of Youth Workers'
will be strengthened through trainings on participatory monitoring and evaluation of
Local Youth Strategies and Youth Activities. Around 20 local and national trainers will
be trained on gender issues that further on will transfer their knowledge and train the
YRCs representatives on gender issues and equal employment opportunities for
boys and girls.
The project communication will be focused on three major aspects: project social
component, information campaign on entrepreneurship and national campaign on
professional orientation. A project strategy and an Action Plan will have as major
outputs to be developed: TV and Radio spots, programs, production of visibility
materials, and elaboration of documentary movies on social and economic
component, and success stories, etc. The project will also provide 2 hot lines
targeted to advice and information on social services and entrepreneurship and
professional orientation.
The draft Action Plan and Budget for 2008 was discussed in detail with the Technical
Council. The TC members provided comments and suggestions regarding the
proposed plan. The plan was assessed as good, however the Deputy Minister
suggested reviewing the Draft Action Plan in January 2008, after the Youth
Department Action Plan for 2008 is fine-tuned and approved by the Minister. Another
Technical Working Session will be arranged.

Managerul de Proiect, Bo Rosenqvist, Niras AB
9 Iulie, 2007
Not asupra selectrii celor 6 localiti pentru participare în proiectul pilot de consolidare a
terenurilor agricole.
PROCESUL I CRITERIILE PENTRU SELECTAREA COMUNITILOR PILOT
Selectarea a celor 6 comuniti care se potrivesc proiectului pilot este crucial pentru
implementarea succesiv a proiectului în general. Seciunea D din termenii de referin enumer 15
criterii în baza crora va fi efectuat selectarea participanilor. Acestea sunt:
1. Existena fermelor de familie cu potenialul de a trece la activitate
comercial i dorina de a forma parcele adiacente i, în cele din urm,
de a mri suprafeele fermelor.
2. Structura fragmentar a loturilor de pmînt.
3. Existena pieei de pmînt (existena vanztorilor i a cumprtorilor
poteniali).
4. Accesul la o informaie actual i sigur vizînd preurile la terenurile de
pmînt sau o alternativ adecvat de evaluare a acestora.
5. Disponibilitatea terenurilor publice (prin procesul de vînzare i cumprare)
pentru a da un impuls întregului proces.
6. Numrul relativ mic de proprietari abseni.
7. O completare esenial a reformei agricole/privatizarea i înregistrarea
drepturilor de proprietate la pmînturi (la nivel naional, 85 % din numrul
total de înregistrri a drepturilor proprietaii rurale sunt ateptate s fie
completate pîn în vara anului 2007).
8. Nivelul înalt de satisfacie între proprietarii locali, în urma procesului de
privatizare i rezultatele acestuia.
9. Puine litigii i cazuri problematice ce in de drepturile de proprietate la
pmînturi.
10. Potenialul înalt al terenurilor agricole.

11. Amplasarea în zone special desemnate pentru creterea economic
(consolidarea poate fi legat de alte activiti cu scopuri asemntoare
de dezvoltare economic, inclusiv i în zonele participante în activitile
programului RISP II).
12. Existena hrilor cadastrale electronice i a altor hri tematice.
13. Planuri/msuri pentru dezvoltarea economic ferm a zonelor rurale i
îmbuntirea infrastructurii.
14. Iniiativa i obligaiunile administraiei publice locale, dorina i posibilitile
secretarei Primriei de a acorda participanilor servicii notariale la un pre
redus.
15. Disponibilitatea potenial a expertizei locale referitor la proiectarea
procesului de consolidare a terenurilor agricole i planificarea utilizrii
pmîntului (spre exemplu, implicarea fostului personal al proiectului LPSP
sau al Institutului Managementului Solurilor).
Între 1-4 iulie 2007 Ministerul Agriculturii si Industriei Alimentare (MAIA) împreun cu
coordanatorul componenei RISP, dl Oleg Horjan a început procesul de selectare a comunitailor
participante. Conform propunerilor MAIA, în fiecare raion au fost înaintate demersuri cu
propunerea comunitilor respective, bazîndu-se pe criteriile numite mai sus. În rezultat, lista cu
100 de localiti candidate a fost completat. Dup aceasta, MAIA a selectat 17 din ele (,,lista
scurt"). Fiele de evaluare au fost îndeplinite pentru a demonstra în ce msur 17 sate corespund
criteriilor de selectare.
Obligaiunile Contractorului includ asigurarea unui proces de selectare deschis, transparent i
detaliat.
Sa ajuns la urmtoarele principii i activiti ce urmeaz s fie respectate i efectuate:
· Adugarea criteriilor suplimentare în procesul de selectare.
· Îmbuntirea "listei scurte" cu cel puin 15 sate suplimentare parial
din lista iniial de 100 de sate i parial cu satele propuse de reeaua
ACSA. Localitile trebuie alese respectînd criteriile de selectare
(inclusiv criteriile noi prezentate mai jos).
· Colectarea informaiei suplimentare despre aceste, cel puin, 32 sate.
· Reexaminarea formei i coninutului documentului care descrie cum
aceste 32 sate alese corespund criteriilor de selectare.

Proiectul Pilot de Reparcelare a Terenurilor Agricole
· Întocmirea metodei de evaluare pentru a stabili numrul de sate care
cel mai aproape corespunde criteriilor de selectare.
· În baza reitingului a întocmi lista de 15-20 sate i a vizita fiecare din
aceste pentru examinarea valabilitii informaiei colectate i pentru
a face schimbri/descrieri referitor la situaia actual.
Acestea trebuie s ofere contractorului împreun cu MAIA posibilitatea de a selecta 6 comuniti
pilot la sfîritul lunei august începutul lunei septembrie i dac este necesar de a obine confirmarea
Comitetului de Organizare. Pentru îndeplinirea effectiv a procesului de selectare, contractorul în
cooperare cu MAFI va forma Comitetul de Evaluare constituit de Ion Botnarenco (MAFI), Oleg
Horjan, Dumitru evcenco, Morten Hartvigsen, David Egiavili i Constantin Ojog (ACSA).
Activiti prevzute pe lunile iulie-august referitor la procesul de selectare a satelor pilot vor fi
efectuate de contractor (dl Shevcenco sub supravegherea managerului proectului) împreun cu dl
Horjan (coordonatorul componentei RISP) în cooperare cu MAFI.
CRITERII SUPLIMENTARE
Pe 3 iulie experii internaionali împreun cu dl Oleg Horjan, coordonatorul proiectelor MAIA,
liderul echipei locale, Dumitru evcenco i personalul de la ACSA (sub contractor) au vizitat dou
din cele 17 localiti propuse. Satele Opaci i Tocuz din raionul Cueni au fost vizitate pentru a
examina valabilitatea informaiei obinute referitor la faptul în ce msur aceste sate corespund
proiectului conform principiilor stabilite. Echipa proiectului s-a întrunit cu primarii i personalul
primriilor din ambele sate, fiind prezeni directori agricoli i fermieri din celelalte localiti ale
raionului Cueni.
În cadrul acestor vizite, Contractorului i-a devenit clar c la criteriile deja stabilite se impune
necesitatea de a include unele criterii suplimentare, de a colecta mai mult informaie despre faptul
în ce msur satele din "lista scurt" corespund criteriilor de selectare.
S-a constatat c în satul Tocuz exist neclariti privind drepturile de proprietate asupra terenurilor
i utilizarea lor. La privatizarea pmînturilor, fiecrui stean i-a fost alocat o cot de teren arabil, o
cot de vi-de-vie i o cot de livad. Totui, stenii au decis s împart parcelele dup speciile
pomilor fructiferi i soiurile viei-de-vie. În rezultat, fiecare fermier a obinut 3-4 cote de livad
(mr, prsad, prun) i 3-4 cote de vi-de-vie. Toate aceste nu au fost înregistrate în Cadastru i pe
hrile cadastrale. Înainte de implementarea proiectului de consolidare a terenurilor agricole în
satele Tocuz i Opaci, este nevoie de a înregistra situaia actual cu starea fragmentar a parcelelor
obinute de fermieri sau de a discuta cu fermierii s revin la lucrarea cotelor care le aparin
conform titlurilor de proprietate. În satul Tocuz aceasta e o problem cu care se confrunt

proprietarii a cca 800 de hectare de pmînt. Iat de ce, în procesul de selectare a comunitilor pilot
astfel de situaii trebuiesc evitate.
Spre regret, datele colectate, în baza crora a fost efectuat alegerea localitilor potrivite, nu
conineau informaii în acest sens. Prin urmare, este necesar o informaie suplimentar cu
descrierea scurt a situaiei curente.
În timpul discuiilor cu administraia public i fermierii din localitile Opaci i Tocuz s-a
constatat c în multe localiti din Republica Moldova domin gospodrii agricole mari care
lucreaz cca 300 - 2000 hectare de pmînt, majoritatea în baza contractelor de arend, suprafee
aflîndu-se pe moia diferitor localiti.
Dezvoltarea fermelor mici (care constituie grupul int al proiectului de reparcelare) i acordarea
ajutorului acestora sunt extrem de dificile în cazul gospodriilor mari. De aceea, la lista din 15
criterii de selectare a fost inclus înc un criteriu:
16. Absena gospodriilor agricole mari in satele candidate.
METODA DE EVALUARE A SATELOR CANDIDATE DUP CRITERIILE
PROPUSE.
Este intenia a MAIA c localitile pilot s fie alese din diferite pri georgrafice a rii. Aceasta
este necesar pentru a garanta ca diferite condiii rurale s fie prezente în proect i pentru a extinde
experiena proectului pe diferite zone a Moldovei. Aadar, se propune imprirea arii în 3 zone
geografice, nord, centru i sud. Contractorul este priveligiat de a selecta 2 comuniti pilot din
fiecare zon a rii.
Criteriile de selecionare nu se evalueaz asemntor i au diferite valori în procesul de selectare a
localitii pilot (spre exemplu, existena fermelor de familie cu potenialul de a trece la activitatea
comercial este mai important decît disponibilitatea rezervei pmînturilor publice deoarece
proprietarii cotelor de pmînt, posibil, vor avea intenii s vînd parcelele lor, de oarece ei nu sunt
implicai în activiti de fermieriat i pmîntul are o valoare mic pentru ei).
Liderul echipei de implementare a proiectului, în urmatoarele dou sptmîni, va strdui s
dezvolte o metod de evaluare bazîndu-se pe 16 criterii de selectare i s transfere aceast
informaie reprezentantului conductorului general de proiect dlui evcenco i dlui Horjan ca
temelie pentru a continua procesul de selectare în cursul lunelor Julie i August.

STRUCTURA ORGANIZATORIC A PROECTULUI
Personalul proectului va fi constituit din Liderul Echipei Centrale, Dumitru evcenco i asistentul
de proect contractai de contractor; coordonatorul componentei RISP, dl Oleg Horjan i contribuia
din partea Guvernului cu 6 echipe care fac parte din MAIA (pentru monitorizare i coordonare).
Contractorul va finana, amenaja locuri de munc i va oferi transportul pentru 6 planifictori de
reparcelare locali, cîte unul pentru o localitate participant. Suplimentar, Guvernul va retribui
munca celor 6 planifictori de reparcelare. Se presupune c planifictori vor fi atrai din
departamente agriculturii din consilii raionali unde vor fi amplasate satele participante. Termenii de
referin pentru 2 grupuri de planifictorii ai reparcelrii vor fi elaborate ctre Contractor i
discutate cu MAIA i alte pri cointeresate în perioada lunilor august - septembrie.
