(in English and in Romanian) The development and modernisation of the Republic of Moldova is an issue, which has constantly been on the agenda of authorities, civil society and international community in the recent years. In terms of the practical impact, the participation of civil society in the design, improvement and implementation of development policies is still rather limited, for some objective or subjective reasons.
The project State of the Country Report 2007: civil society’s contribution to development policies and good governance in the Republic of Moldova, implemented by the Independent Analytical Centre EXPERT-GRUP with the contribution of the representatives of a number of analytical and educational institutions, attempted to provide some solutions to the problems specific to the process of design of development policies in the Republic of Moldova.
Th is initiative was funded by the Eurasia Foundation, the UK Department for International Development (DFID) and the Balkan Trust for Democracy. The main objective of this project was to provide local decision-makers, civil society and the international community with a reliable analytical tool, which would help understand and evaluate the trends in the key development areas, improve the quality of development policies and raise the efficiency of setting development objectives. This State of the Country Report is the result of these efforts, which will hopefully contribute to elucidation of challenges, progress and involutions relating to the country development.
The report is the result of the efforts of a team composed of 38 experts co-ordinated by Expert-Grup. The Report was presented at a national forum on 6 March 2008 and planned to be subsequently presented to the Moldovan Parliament.
