The Programme «Support to Confidence Building Measures» is funded by the European Union and co-funded and implemented by the United Nations Development Programme in Moldova. The goal of this programme is to increase confidence between Chisinau and Tiraspol by implementing projects in the sphere of socio-economic development with active involvement and participation of Civil Society Organizations and Local Communities.

In order to meet this goal the «Support to Confidence Building Measures» Programme announces an Expression of Interest for Grants, which will be implemented from June 2012 until May 2013.

The European Union exists to deliver value added to its 500 million citizens. I believe it can be a force for economic renewal in Europe and globally. To do this, we need a budget that is innovative, attuned to the new realities of globalisation, and that responds to today's challenges and creates opportunities for tomorrow.

All across Europe, governments, businesses and families are choosing carefully where to spend their money. It is a time to think carefully about where to cut back and where to invest for the future.

We are glad to announce you the opening of the program “Non-State Actors and Local Authorities in Development (DCI-NSAPVD) and Neighbourhood Civil Society Facility (ENPI)” call of proposals.

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 by engaging national consultants for a short and medium term. It is coordinated and managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and State Chancellery of Moldova and will complement on-going work by other donors.
