Part I. Situation Analysis
Moldova's transition to a market-based economy has been slow and difficult: significant internal political divisions within successive governments delayed the implementation of structural reforms. The cumulative decline of the economy during 1990-2000 exceeded 60% (second only to Tajikistan among transition economies). The secession of the Transnistria region in 1992 exacerbated the problems, further eroding Moldova's industrial base; this frozen conflict and the stalemate in negotiations over the region's status influence the country's economic, social and political development, either in a cause or effect relationship. The poor investment climate, high levels of corruption, and weak rule of law and law-enforcement institutions favour illegal activities, including smuggling in goods and arms, transit of illegal migrants, trafficking in drugs and human beings.
Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova are important countries for drug trafficking from the source regions in Asia and the Middle East in Europe (the Old and New Silk Roads and the Balkan Route) as reflected by seizure data. The main trafficking routes are through the seaports of Odessa and Sevastopol and Transnistria is often mentioned as a high-risk region for drug trafficking. The drugs are stockpiled in this self-proclaimed independent region for further trafficking to Ukraine and Romania. Moldova is a transit point for migrants from eastern parts of the former Soviet Union and from Asian countries in their way to Western Europe.
In the context of the European Union enlargement process, and the perspectives for Bulgaria and Romania to become EU members in 2007, Moldova will become in a few years an EU neighbour. The Government of Moldova stated that joining the European Union is a priority for the Republic of Moldova, however this priority did not yet translate into clear action plans. Such action plans need to incorporate also the upgrading and reform of border management, aiming at harmonizing border control to EU standards. This entails improved infrastructure, in terms of computerisation, telecommunications, specialized equipment and general office services, complemented by training, a sound legal framework, based on EU standards, smooth bilateral and multilateral border guarding cooperation with neighbouring countries and effective regional cooperation.
The Moldovan state institutions involved in border management processes are aware of the gaps in their capacity. The IOM/SIDA assessment conducted in 2003 provides a good picture of the overall situation. The main counterparts at the border are the Border Guards Department and the Customs Department, with Ministry of Interior, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and Migration Management Department having a stake as well.
Moldovan borders and border management institutions
Moldova's borders are with Ukraine and Romania and on a large part of the border, the rivers Prut and Nistru constitute the natural demarcation; about half of all border distance passes overland and another half on water surface . The borders with Ukraine cover 1.222 km, and 78 border crossings have been established (of which 26 are in Transnistria - the Moldovan Border Guards do not control this segment). Moldova's borders with Romania span 862 km and nine crossings have been established to date. Out of the total border crossings, 17 are international and every nationality may cross. At the remaining interstate border crossings, only Moldovans and Ukrainians may cross while at the regional ones, local inhabitants may cross. (See Annex 1 for more details). The Moldovan-Romanian border is better developed, as it used to be the state border of the Soviet Union. The Moldovan-Ukrainian border appeared only after 1991 and its real demarcation is not completed yet. Transit points at this border were established through an agreement between the Governments of Ukraine and Moldova in 1993.
Compared with the Moldovan-Romanian border, the border with Ukraine is in a less advantaged position in terms of equipment and infrastructure development. To address this issue, the Moldovan Government has initiated negotiations with Ukraine on developing joint border control at the common border checkpoints. In March 1997 an Agreement was signed between the Governments of two states, which stated the intentions of the parties to organize joint border control in seven border checkpoints at the common border: Criva-Mamaliga; Medvezjia-Zelionaia, Larga-Kelmentsi; Briceni-Rossoshany; Pervomaisc-Kuciurgan; Udobnoie-Palanca-Maiaky and Giurgiuleshti-Reny. Based on this agreement the parties organized joint border control in two checkpoints - Kuciurgan (on Ukrainian territory) and Palanca (on Moldovan territory), which have been active until 2001, when the Ukrainian Government cancelled this joint effort, invoking insufficient development of the legal aspects for such inter-state endeavours. Still, negotiations continued and resulted in the signing of five protocols on joint border control in five checkpoints in January 2004: Criva-Mamaliga, Medvejie-Zelionaia, Larga-Kelmentsi; Briceni-Rossoshany and Giurgiuleshti-Reny. The protocols instituted the commitment of the parties to set up joint border control on the Moldovan territory for entry to Moldova and on the Ukrainian territory for exit from Moldova.
The main institutions, which are working at the border, are the Customs, the Border Guards and officials of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in charge with consular matters. They all work in close cooperation with each other and in many cases, the checks of people and goods are done jointly by the different services, or separately, but the order varies between border crossings.
A Law on State Borders was adopted in 1994 that established the regime of the state border and border checkpoints and defined the functions of the Border Guards. According to this law, the Border Service was initially subordinated to the Ministry of State Security (now the Information and Security Service), and the Ministry was performing the border guarding, the authorization of the border crossings, and co-operating with counterpart border services of the neighbouring countries. In 1999, the Law on State Borders was modified in order to institute, within the Ministry of Interior, a border police authorized to manage border crossings at the Moldovan/Ukrainian border. The border police was disbanded by law in July 2000, and the border guarding and all related functions were transferred to the Border Guard Department (BGD), which is now subordinated directly to the Government.
The assessment carried out by IOM in 2003 reports low levels of development of most of the border crossings at the Moldova-Ukraine border and of the green area patrols along the entire state border: this extends to infrastructure, equipment, ICT and training. This means that border guards are doing their job with little technical support, which in cases requiring supplementary controls involves considerable time and human resources efforts. The border guards have limited training opportunities, mainly on-the-job, no up-dated supporting materials.
In general, the following equipment is available for the BGs: passport machine readers, detection equipment, UV light, infrared light and magnifying lenses. "Regular" equipment is provided for some border posts and samples of visas can be used in cases of doubt. The BG has access to the ITD's system, but only as far as it concerns information on Moldovan citizens. The "Pasager" registration system is only in place at international crossings since the lack of funds has, until now, made it impossible to equip the interstate and regional borders.
The Ungheni Training Centre is the training place for all personnel who work at the Moldovan border crossing points. One thousand two hundred students are expected to study at the training centre each year, the majority of whom (roughly 900 students) matriculate at the same time. Among the students, 30 to 40 professional controllers are being trained at the centre. They attend a three to four month course before being placed at a border post.
The curriculum used at the Centre is developed at the headquarters in Chisinau, but the Training Centre submits proposals for amendments of the curriculum. The Training Centre covers nine main areas of study: Legal matters, Internal regulation, Technological services and coordination, Construction of vehicles and smuggling methods, Psychology of perpetrators, Document training, including secondary control; and methods of detection, including training on the "Regular" and "Atlas" 1 and 2 IT systems, Personal identification, Administrative procedures, e.g. on apprehension, Military border training (30-40% of the total training). Each area has an officer that conducts the training. The officials at the Ungheni Border Post also serve as trainers (without any extra resources). However, in most cases, positions at the Training Centre are usually filled with more permanent and technically skilled staff. The Centre gives both practical and theoretical training, but has little equipment and no laboratory. Some equipment is even borrowed from the closest border post. Regarding specimens of documents, the Centre receives copies in black and white from the headquarters.
Current donor assistance
The donors providing currently support towards strengthening border management are the European Commission through the TACIS programme, including the BUMAD project implemented by UNDP, the US Government through the 'Monitoring and Control of Borders' project, World Bank through the 'Trade and Transport Facilitation in South East Europe' project. Most of the assistance provided through on-going projects is benefiting both the Customs Department and the Border Guards Department. Generally, the cooperation and coordination among donors working in this area is good. Different mechanisms are put in place in each project to ensure this.
Assessing the assistance, which was provided in the last several years, one could notice however that the Customs Department received much more assistance than the Border Guards Department. This can be noticed as well while assessing the running projects.
The TACIS programme provides support towards modernising several border crossing points - the last one under development now is the border crossing bridge at Giurgiulesti - Galati in the framework of the 'Modernising Customs' projects. The TACIS-funded 'Better Border Initiative' project is implemented by IOM and targets both the Customs Department and the Border Guards Department. This is a complex project, which includes legislative review work, support to the Ungheni Traning Centre (refurbishment and curricula), up-grading 3 border crossing points and a training component. In complementing the work done by the US government, a server will be provided to the BGD to facilitate the creation of a computerised network.
The US Government has provided 100 computers for all the official crossing points, each crossing point has a server. Forty-two vehicles have been provided, with another lot in the pipeline, 15 pre-fab buildings, and specialised equipment (passport readers, portable and base radios). The US government plans support for establishing an Anti Trafficking Centre.
The World Bank TTSF project works mainly with the Customs Department to (i) strengthen Customs institutional capacity; (ii) modernize and integrate Customs information systems for border processing and clearance of shipments; (iii) develop a transit control system; v) improve mechanisms of interaction and cooperation between border control agencies and the trading community; (vi) disseminate information and provide training to the trading community (private sector); and (vii) implement, at pilot sites, an integrated set of new Customs procedures. Under this project 14 border crossing points will be equipped with canopies, and all border crossing points will be equipped with video surveillance equipment. UNCTAD participates in the implementation of this project in Moldova.
The BUMAD regional project, funded by the European Commission and implemented by UNDP in Ukraine, Belarus and Moldova, works with a number of institutions - the Ministry of Interior, the Customs Department, the Border Guards Department, the Information and Security Service, the Moldova Migration Department - to fight drug trafficking in the region. In the framework of this project, the BGD headquarters and border points will benefit from equipment and training to enhance their ability to detect trafficked drugs and use intelligence systems.
To summarise, one could note that progress has been made in all key areas of a border control system - the legal framework, infrastructure and equipment, training, although to a different degree in every area.
Recognizing how important the role of the Border Guards is for the total management of migration in Moldova, and to counteract illegal activities, the immediate priority is to finalise the equipping of the border crossing points and especially the units covering the green border area, with specialised and office equipment, so that the border control system in Moldova reaches a satisfactory level in the context of EU standards. This has to go hand in hand with technical assistance (training, revision of procedures, provision of modern materials, information and advice, specialised studies) and enhanced national and regional cooperation activities. These are exactly the areas, which UNDP Moldova proposes to cover under the "Enhanced Border Management Control" project, building on the national knowledge and expertise accumulated through the BUMAD project, through the cooperation with UNCTAD projects in Moldova, and drawing on the regional UNDP work, supporting the Stability Pact for South Eastern Europe and other regional security initiatives.
UNDP experience
An overarching corporate priority for UNDP is to assist countries to progress towards achieving the Millennium Development Goals. One of the ways in which UNDP supports this process is promoting principles of good governance in view of engagement of all development actors in the process of central and local-level development, better functioning of state institutions and achieving development objectives by improving living standards, offering development opportunities for the society as a whole and for individuals in particular.
UNDP Moldova supports national efforts since independence in 1992. UNDP builds national capacities to analyze poverty and to direct the country's development to fight it. Separate projects focus on reducing corruption, revising the legal framework, strengthening human rights, fostering women leaders, facilitating social integration. UNDP helped raise awareness on trafficking in persons and supported the establishment of the first hotline. Since 2003, UNDP Moldova manages a EC-funded project which works with a number of law-enforcement institutions and NGOs to curb drug trafficking through Moldovan borders and contribute to fighting drug-consumption related phenomena (STIs, HIV/AIDS). A large project funded by the US Government focusing on prevention of trafficking in human beings and economic and social reintegration of victims of trafficking is about to start. UNDP works with an extensive network of local private sector and NGO partners.
UNDP Moldova has embarked in spring 2004 on a comprehensive process of programme review. The review aimed to help the office in rethinking its position in the context of Moldova's development reality and challenges. The key conclusion of this review is that the UNDP office in Moldova, as a development actor, intends to move towards a much more focused programming, supporting strategic initiatives, as the Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy, and the initiatives focusing on the EU-Moldova relationships and the prospects of EU integration.
The EC and the UNDP have a long history of close cooperation in the field of development assistance, particularly in areas such as democratization, human rights, conflict prevention, and de-mining. EC support to UNDP-led activities worldwide totaled Euro 124 million from 1999-2002. Co-operation has usually been on an ad-hoc basis. The European Commission and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) signed on June 28, 2004 an agreement on a unique strategic partnership to strengthen both organizations' ability to deliver efficient, high quality aid to developing countries, particularly in the areas of governance, conflict prevention and post-conflict reconstruction. The new strategic partnership - the first of its kind - now provides for a more systematic and well-targeted collaboration.
In the spirit of this strategic agreement and building on the experience of the regional BUMAD project implemented by UNDP and on the regional UNDP work, the UNDP Moldova office proposes to implement the project "Enhancing Border Control Management", funded by the TACIS programme. As identified in the 2000-2003 TACIS Indicative Programme, the improvement of border management is one of European Union's priorities for Moldova, which will become of strategic importance as the EU enlarges to the east.
Part II. Strategy
The overall objective of this project is to enhance the operational capacity of government border services within the existing organizational framework in order to make effective the border control and improve the border management system.
The main project counterpart will be the Border Guards Department. The project will endeavour to extend its assistance to the customs services and to the consular services at border crossing points. The capacity building needs have been assessed jointly with the Border Guards Department and the proposed scope of the project comes to cover these needs. Specialised and office equipment (see Annex 2) and complementary technical assistance will be provided to border crossing points and to units covering green border areas.
Coordination
An important principle for this project implementation is thorough coordination with other donors working in this area and coordination with other relevant national institutions. This is especially important, as there are a number of on-going projects, which provide support (including specialised equipment items) both to the Border Guards and to the Customs. UNDP has a good collaboration history with other donors in Moldova, both through the numerous joint projects, through services provided, as well as at the level of overall donor coordination efforts (the most recent example is the elaboration of the Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy). UNDP has already established operational links with donors and national institutions working in this area in the framework of BUMAD project and will use them as a springboard to ensure a quick start for the project operations. These links need to be strengthened and the Project Manager will have specific responsibilities towards ensuring an effective coordination among donors and government counterparts, liaising with the counterparts on an operational basis as often as this is necessary (frequent meetings, e-mail lists for project communications, etc.). UNDP proposes to establish from the project outset a donors' task force, which will include representatives of the European Commission, the US Government, the World Bank, and IOM (which is implementing another major TACIS project) and will ensure consistent communication through informal and formal meetings and e-mails.
These cooperation frameworks (which already exist, as it was mentioned before, through the BUMAD project, and only need up-grading) will allow for a prompt start of the project and for a thorough coordination of procurement and training plans with all interested parties. This is necessary, because, for example, some equipment procurement plans from the US Government are not finalised yet, but may be in place at the time when the present project starts. If it is confirmed that some of the equipment, which is being purchased by the US Government repeats some of the items requested by the BGD in the present project, the latter will be consulted in order to revise the request and redirect the money, which is being freed up, to other capacity building needs. Training plans (timing and topics) will be closely coordinated with IOM, which envisages providing some training under the current "Better Borders Initiative", and with the BUMAD project, which will provide training to customs officials and border guards in 2005.
Equipment and infrastructure
As it was mentioned before the needs assessment for specialised and office equipment was conducted jointly with the Border Guards Department. Annex 2 provides details on proposed distribution of equipment per beneficiary units.
The five joint control border crossing points - Criva-Mamaliga, Medveja-Zelionaia, Larga-Kelmenti, Briceni-Rososani and Giurgiulesti-Reni - are identified as a separate group, given their importance as a pilot for implementing joint control operations by Moldovan and Ukrainian authorities. The other lot of proposed equipment will come to strengthen the technical capacity of border crossing points and units covering green border areas along the entire state border.
The tenders for the procurement of equipment will be prepared and launched in the first two months of the project implementation, to allow for a timely purchase, delivery and installation of the equipment, furniture and infrastructure upgrading. UNDP will request IAPSO assistance and will aim to complete all the tenders by end June 2005, to allow for delivery, installation and training on the use of the new equipment. UNDP procurement rules will apply and all equipment which will be purchased will be produced either in the EU, in one of the candidate countries (Romania, Bulgaria) or in the TACIS countries.
Technical assistance
This project component will include first of all the elements, necessary to support the provision of equipment and upgrading infrastructure, as: complementary training and provision of supporting information and materials on use of equipment.
UNDP will also fund an international consultant to support the BGD in revising internal procedures, as appropriate, following the technical upgrading. The international consultant will provide advice to BGD and other law-enforcement institutions on strengthening Moldova's contribution and position in relation to EU countries and agencies. In the context of the EU-Moldova Action Plan, the international consultant will contribute to the preparation of a "roadmap" for attaining EU border control standards. Support will also be provided to help Moldova meet EU expectations in regard of the relevant corner stones of EU policy (European Neighbourhood Policy, fight against terrorism, organized crime and illegal migration, relevant TACIS programmes etc.).
UNDP has assessed that there is limited up-to-date research and studies to support the policy dialogue within the country on national security issues, on the capacity of existing institutions, and the changes required by Moldova's position as a EU new neighbour and the foreign policy dominants towards EU integration. Such research and resulting analytical products would also help the Moldovan officials with facts and policy recommendations in their negotiations with their neighbours, and in regional fora.
UNDP will therefore support (on an open contest basis) Moldovan think tanks (as the Institute for Public Policies, the Euro Atlantic Center of Moldova, Center for Strategic Studies and Policies, IDIS Viitorul), to elaborate studies and organise discussion events on border management and national and regional security issues, taking into account the regional perspective.
The call for proposals will be launched at the beginning of 2005, in the first month of project implementation. The Terms of Reference for this contract will be agreed with the EC Delegation. The BGD and UNDP will assess the proposals and will select the proposal which will be funded. The timeframe of the contract awarded to the winning think tank will not exceed 10 months, to be concluded by end November 2005.
In the framework of the contract, the think tank will conduct research using local experts, and will involve the national institutions concerned in the process (so as to build ownership and capacity) and will use also the think tank regional outreach. During the research and at the final stage the think tank will organise events to discuss the research, its findings and the resulting studies. The events will bring together all relevant national stakeholders and regional/international institutions (representatives of the EC Delegation, INGOs, international organisations, etc.)
This analytical work will contribute to strengthening the national capacity for policy-making in this area and will also, through the discussions with different stakeholders organised during the preparation of studies, contribute to improve the environment and the quality of the policy dialogue, first of all at national level and, through providing national counterparts with fresh analysis and better tools for dialogue and negotiations, at regional level.
The technical assistance component will be completed by a series of study visits, and opportunities for BGD officials and officials from other law-enforcement institutions to organise in Moldova as well as attend relevant regional events, thus enabling them to strengthen the regional dialogue and cooperation.
The topics for training, including study tours, will be reviewed with other donors and the beneficiary institutions during the first 2 months of the project, to avoid overlap. Training of trainers and the need for training manuals will be assessed on this occasion. Training will start in the second quarter of 2005, and will be delivered during the 2-4Q. UNDP will explore possibilities to make good use of the training sessions funded by other donors, for example by funding additional participants, or planning joint training events. Where possible and appropriate, training will be organised at the Ungheni Training Centre, to consolidate the existing national capacity. The project will plan training for both border guards (at border crossing points and from units ensuring the control of green border areas, for the central apparatus of the BGD) and for customs officials, to develop cooperation of the two services, develop contacts at personal level and create cohesion. The cooperation of these two institutions is already happening on the ground, as in many cases the checks are conducted jointly.
The training needs identified by the Border Guards Department include:
- Organising joint border control
- Modern techniques & equipment for examining identity documents
- Rummaging equipment and techniques for drugs, toxic and radioactive substances
- Equipment and techniques to find arms and munitions, explosive mechanisms
- Finding and stopping persons who cross the state border illegally
- Training and working with dogs
The selection of international consultants who will provide advice to BGD and the training will be coordinated with the EC Delegation. The international consultants will be EU experts, their Terms of Reference will be agreed with the EC Delegation and the EC Delegation has the right to reject the consultants if they do not meet the requirements.
Regional cooperation
In order to strengthen the presence of Moldovan border guards in the regional cooperation framework, the project will organize study visits and will support participation at regional events. For example the BUMAD project will organize a regional cross-border cooperation seminar in Kiev, focusing on best practices as regards repressive cooperation. The seminar will promote the Schengen model and main elements of police cooperation agreements concluded in Europe and particular for setting up common offices as regards cross-border cooperation. The project will consider supporting additional Moldovan participants attending the seminar. A similar event could be organised in Chisinau in the 3-4 Q of 2005, in cooperation with other donors.
Study visits
The project will organise three study visits to countries in the region such as Hungary, Slovenia and Lithuania. The experience of these countries as new EU members is especially interesting. Hungary played a key role in an initiative to improve border control management for countries involved in the stabilization and association process, and represents a useful recent experience Moldova could learn from. The study tours will be organised in the second half of the project term, and will be coordinated with training plans and schedules. Participants will be selected to maximize the learning benefit for themselves and for their respective organizations. The participants will learn how the border control is organised (including joint border control), how the services at the border are organised and delivered, how training is organised and delivered.
Part III. Management Arrangements
The project will be implemented through Direct Execution modality, in accordance with the UNDP Programming Manual. In view of multiplicity of activities sites for the project, extensive office support services will be provided in accordance with Annex IV with regard to administrative, financial and managerial services required by the EU.
The project will be executed by the United Nations Development Programme in Moldova. UNDP will closely cooperate with and inform the European Commission. The UNDP Office in Moldova will be responsible for project administration including: organizing implementation of project activities; recruitment of project personnel and other consultants; contracting services for training and procurement of equipment. UNDP is able to identify necessary staff for the project and mobilize local consultants quickly, given the long-time presence in Moldova and the in-house databases. UNDP maintains a roster of consultants, which have experience of working with UNDP and other donors, including EC/TACIS. For regional expertise, UNDP Moldova will call on IAPSO assistance and will tap into the very active global UNDP knowledge networks, which allow identifying quickly international consultants with experience in the region.
In the UNDP office, a UNDP programme officer will have supervision responsibilities for the project, in order to ensure that the project activities will be implemented in time and to provide/facilitate in-office support for contracting and procurement, help in coordinating with other UNDP relevant projects and with the projects of other donors. The project team will prepare quarterly narrative and financial reports on project progress.
The Project Manager will lead the project team and will be contracted for the duration of the project to: prepare and agree with the beneficiary institution quarterly workplans and be responsible for their implementation, ensure donor and government coordination, ensure EU visibility in the country. The Project Manager will produce an inception report after 3 months and a (final) report after 12 months to be forwarded through the UNDP Office in Moldova to the EC Delegation in Kiev, copy to the TACIS Branch Office in Chisinau. The reports will include: (i) Project Context; (ii) Description of the implementation process of activities; (iii) Assessment of the achievement of project's results; (iv) Work plan (v) Financial execution of the programme following programme budget lines and EC requirements. The Project Manager will stay in Chisinau and will be reporting to UNDP Office in Chisinau.
The procurement of goods, works or services by UNDP in the context of this project is carried out in accordance with the applicable rules and procedures adopted by UNDP. The equipment and office furniture will be purchased from local providers and international suppliers, on the local market or internationally. BGD will advise on firms with which they had already contact.
UNDP has extensive experience of procurement, both for UNDP projects, as well as facilitating the procurement for other UN agencies. Four of UNDP permanent staff have specialised training in procurement. The volume of procurement increases every year, and UNDP has the necessary capacity and mechanisms to handle it successfully, using its local knowledge of the market, a roster of local experts, which can be mobilised quickly to provide a professional evaluation of the bids, and relying on support and expertise from UNODC and IAPSO. The requests for bids will include provisions for specialised equipment installation and training on use, where appropriate.
The UNDP programme officer will organize an assessment mission to confirm that all equipment has been effectively delivered at all selected border posts. EC representatives will be invited to participate in the main monitoring and evaluation missions relating to the project. The results of the missions will be reported to the EC.
Communication
The expertise and the experience of the UNDP Communication section will ensure that the project is visible and that the necessary information is prepared and provided to the relevant target audiences. Among the main activities in this list is a project launch event, wide distribution to the media, the elaboration of the project logo, placing information on the website and in the UN media toolkits, preparing dedicated events.
Provisions will be made for acknowledging the EU financial support: all materials produced in the framework of the project (including letterhead and business cards) shall visibly bear the official EU logo, the name of the European Commission and the sentence (containing the name of the project) "This project is funded by the European Commission". All visibility material will be downloaded from the EC website http://europa.eu.int/comm/europeaid/index_en.htm. All communication products will be made available to the EC when and as they are issued. A publication disclaimer according to EC rules will be placed on all publications funded by the project.
Part IV. Monitoring and Evaluation
Monitoring and Evaluation will be implemented in accordance with UNDP Monitoring and Evaluation Handbook requirements.
The project will be subject to the Annual Programme Review. The Project Manager in consultation with the National Project Coordinator and stakeholders will be responsible for preparing and submitting to Annual Programme Review meeting the Project Progress Report. The project manager, under the direction of National Project Coordinator and UNDP Programme officer will also prepare quarterly work plans, quarterly reports and other necessary documentation in accordance with UNDP procedures. A participatory monitoring mechanism will identify the progress achieved towards intended results. A project evaluation mission will be organized at the end of the project, following the recommendations from EC.
Part V. Budget
The total budget is amounting to Euro 1,942.500, of which is EC contribution: Euro 1,850.000 [95.2%] and UNDP contribution: Euro 92,500 [4.8%]
