Automatically translated summary. The full text is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup” and the Institute for Strategic Initiatives have published External Assistance Monitor No. 2. It analyses how the main active external assistance projects in the Republic of Moldova are progressing across several dimensions of economic development, with the full monitor available for download.
The monitor covers three areas. In transport infrastructure, it reviews the purchase of locomotives and restructuring of rail infrastructure, as well as the project to improve local roads. On access to finance, it examines the Covid-19 emergency response and SME support project, the rural resilience project and the “Livada Moldovei” project. It also covers land registration and valuation.
The projects pursue several important goals for the country’s economic development: improving transport infrastructure to facilitate trade and travel, ensure access to educational and medical institutions and increase road safety; facilitating financial intermediation to widen access to finance for various categories of firms and/or stimulate the growth of certain sectors; and improving the quality and transparency of land administration and valuation. The publication was produced under the initiative “Socially Responsible Management of External Financing”, with support from the Soros Foundation Moldova.
