Republic of Moldova

Background

The project “Transitional Capacity Support for 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.

The project will be managed through national implementation modality, under which the State Chancellery is the project’s implementing partner according to the provisions of the project document. This implies that the State Chancellery is responsible for the project results and implements project activities. UNDP provides support to the implementation only in selected activities. The other project activities will be delivered through the direct cash transfer modality (DCT) in line with the Harmonized Approach to Cash Transfers (HACT). The direct cash transfer implies that funds for implementation of the project will be transferred to the State Chancellery through the single treasury account (and special project sub-account) and managed according to the provisions of the state budget and Moldovan legislation. The replenishments to this account are done on a quarterly basis by UNDP upon receipt of the financial report.

The State Chancellery has designated its Accounting Division to be responsible for the financial management of the project, while UNDP experts will provide support.
