Country Programme (2007-2011/2012) evaluation - UNFPA Moldova

• UNFPA has a better outreach on the ground than other UN agencies (RH cabinets, the complete
peer education net, works with a lot of NGOs/CSOs, the work in Transnistria, work in regional
centre for domestic violence) – they are doing part of the work for UNFPA – good practice
• Joint programmes are good but should be put together right from the start with joint planning and
not as ad hoc activity (putting existing activities together) – right approach for social security
