3. Development Context Since the approval of the first UNFPA CP in December 2005 the political and overall development context in Moldova has changed considerably. These changes represent the principal external factors likely to affect the success of the implementation of the CP. This chapter gives an overview of the general development context of the country at the beginning of 2011. 11 Political changes and delays in decision making, as well as weaknesses in public administration, decentralization and the unsolved political situation regarding Transnistria, are the most important issues which have affected the implementation of the UNFPA CP since 2007. Since its declaration of independence in 1991, the Republic of Moldova has gone through a series of difficult transitions at an enormous social cost. The first decade of independence was marked by political instability and a deep economic recession. In 2011, Moldova is a country still in transition and in the midst of numerous reforms of its public institutions, legislations, and policy agenda. Renewed economic growth in 2010 and potential opportunities from European Union integration have created an environment conducive to modernization and positive change in Moldova. Politics The complexities of the on-goingdemocratic political transition are evident from the fact that Moldova had at least one electoral exercise every single year between 2007 and 2011. At the same time, the parliamentary elections since 2009 have failed to secure the nation’s president, creating significant political uncertainty. Additionally, power rests on the shoulders of a multi-party coalition, which in its initial stage in office have shown still weak abilities to lead complex and difficult reforms. A degree of stability in the political context can be attributed to recent improvements in the management of electoral processes. Since 2009, Moldovan electoral processes have managed to maintain credibility despite frequent elections. This has helped reaffirm the democratic process and strengthen national stability at a time of frequent political transition. Economy The country achieved relatively high economic growth rates between 2000 and 2005 but showed changing trends in recent years, mainly due to external factors. After the international crisis between 2008 and 2009, Moldova returned to a growing trend in 2010. Throughout the last decade, economic growth was mainly driven by remittances (which stimulate domestic consumption) and export. Both economic motors make the growth process vulnerable toexternal shocks e.g. through the costs of energy, demand in export markets or the reception of remittances. This vulnerability is reinforced by adverse climatic events, which in recent years have frequently hit the country. Agriculture is traditionally the main branch of the national economy of the Republic of Moldova. Its contribution to GDP was about 12 per centin 2010, reaching 17 per cent together with the food processing industry. Half of the production is exported. Agricultural production has a high growth potential (8 per cent in 2010), but is vulnerable to climatic risks. The sector provides roughly one third ofthe existing jobs 11 The content of the chapter is based on the first chapter of the UN Country Analysis (CA) Moldova June 2011. The Team Leader of this evaluation (Thomas Otter) is also the author of the first chapter of the UN CA. Hence, resuming the first chapter of the CA does not represent a conflict with intellectual property.
