Background
The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), acting as an implementing agency of the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is providing assistance to the Moldovan Ministry of Environment in the implementation of the GEF medium size Project “Strengthening capacities to undertake environmental fiscal reform to meet national and global environmental priorities”. The project was designed to: build capacities for implementing environmental fiscal reforms (EFR) that will produce increased national and global environmental benefits through the adoption of selected subsidies, fees, fines, taxes and other appropriate fiscal instruments. The reforms will focus on creating conditions, financial incentives and disincentives, and decreased opportunity costs to undertake actions that deliver global environmental outcomes. The expected outcome is that EFR will be adopted as an important element of Moldova's development policy, whereby improved fiscal and financial instruments and their use would strengthen regulatory and other approaches to environmentally sound and sustainable development, with a particular emphasis of meeting obligations under the three Rio Conventions. The project will also contribute to and complement a broader national decentralization reform process, including policy planning at the national level, redesigning of competencies and responsibilities of local and sub-national governments and reforming local government revenue systems. In order to reach Government of Moldova's objective, the project will adopt a focused and comprehensive strategy composed of three main components: (1) Reform of environmentally harmful subsidies, green subsidies, as well as environmental charges within the agricultural and energy sectors, (2) Capacity development for EFR to build consensus among concerned stakeholders, and (3) Component 3: Integration of EFR in local and central planning processes.
