Background
Since 2000 Moldova is a parliamentary republic. The last parliamentary elections were held on March 6, 2005. In his first political address to Parliament, on April 8, 2005, the re-appointed President Vladimir Voronin called for Government modernization. This created a window of opportunity to start a long-awaited comprehensive public administration reform.
The World Bank established a Multi-Donor Trust Fund (further on MDTF) to assist the Government of Moldova to implement the Central Public Administration Reform (CPAR ). The main reform’s goal is to build a modern, efficient and transparent central public administration aligned to European Union principles of good governance. The MDTF is financed through contributions provided by Sida, DFID and the Government of Netherlands. The MDTF finances international and local technical assistance and procurement of equipment to support and strengthen the capacity of the Government, Ministries and subordinated structures.
The specific objectives of the MDTF are to:
a) reorganize the Government Office, Ministries and subordinated bodies;
b) improve the legal framework governing the public administration;
c) optimize the decision-making process;
d) improve human resource management;
e) enhance the effectiveness of public finance management, and
f) consolidate a dialogue with, and facilitate effective participation of, stakeholders in public administration reform.
The implementation of the CPAR is expected to have a significant impact on the functioning of the civil service and have a positive impact on the society as a whole. All citizens of Moldova will benefit from having a guaranteed access to more qualitative, less bureaucratic, competent, and less-time consuming services delivered by professional and motivated civil servants. The impact will be also felt by the business community and civil society. The reformed CPA will draft and implement policies that will support the development of business-oriented and democratic society that will contribute to the strengthening of the state.
The Government Office implements the MDTF, which comprises five components:
1. Institutional reorganization;
2. Government’s Policy-Making Capacity;

5. Trust Fund Management.
