The UNIDO Country Programme (CP) for inclusive and sustainable industrial development (ISID) in the Republic of Moldova 2019-2023 was developed and streamlined following the extensive consultations with the Government of Moldova, key national stakeholders and development partners, based on the national priority areas and identified high-potential industrial sectors. The Ministry of Economy has been acting as a key Government focal point throughout the coordination process. The CP is also aligned with the UN Development Assistance Framework (UNDAF) for the Republic of Moldova 2018-2022 and will be further aligned with the upcoming UN Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework 2023-2027. The CP aims at leveraging coordinated and scaled-up international development efforts under the following key components: 1) Enhanced industrial competitiveness, market access, innovation and investment promotion; 2) Productive employment for rural communities and entrepreneurship development; 3) Sustainable energy and environmental management. UNIDO also contributed to the formulation of the COVID-19 Socio-Economic Response and Recovery Plan (SERP) for the Republic of Moldova. During the UNIDO technical mission to Chisinau from 24 to 27 February 2020, the following two project concepts have been confirmed by the Government and other national counterparts as priority ones under the first CP component: 1) Supporting Moldova’s industrial SMEs through the Subcontracting and Partnership Exchange (SPX) Centre approach; 2) Development of innovation, entrepreneurship and technology transfer (IET) platforms for strengthening linkages between research and industry in Moldova. Moreover, recently UNIDO conducted an in-depth study of the innovation ecosystem in the Republic of Moldova to ensure that the proposed services are meeting the needs on the ground and are reflective of the stakeholders’ priorities.
