Background |
The project “Transitional Capacity Support for the Public Administration of Moldova” was designed upon the request of the Government of Moldova to enhance capacities of the Moldovan Central Public Administration in order to accelerate the reform process and achieve Moldova’s short-and medium term development goals. The project seeks to address urgent short-term capacity needs of the public administration at a time when Moldovan central government institutions face serious financial and human resources gaps. In addition to helping the Government pursue critical reform priorities, the intervention is designed to catalyze the on-going implementation of central public administration reform. It will be coordinated and managed by the responsible government entities and will complement on-going work by other donors.
To develop functional and technical skills, specific in-service and out-of-country trainings would be made available to civil servants. This will include coaching-type support from peers in other public administrations in the region both inside and outside Moldova. Such trainings will be delivered in areas identified by the existing needs assessments or by a specific assessment to be undertaken where necessary. To allow for exposure to different environments and practices in other countries, internships in analogous institutions in EU member states would also be provided. Civil servants would thus be given an opportunity to become familiar with the process and practices of peers in different countries. Internship opportunities would be made available on a competitive basis and in the areas/topics aligned with the selected Government priority reform areas, and would normally target civil servants with outstanding performance.
