This report examines the role of civil society and private sector in the Republic of Moldova in achieving the Millennium Development Goal 1 “Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger” (MDG 1). In the study took part in the civil society and the private sector and relevant government institutions and relevant international organizations.
The first two chapters of the report refer to the presentation of major trends in achieving MDG 1 by the Government and the problems faced currently.
The Republic of Moldova promotes modernization and updating in line with European standards of social protection of the poor and at the same time takes measures to ensure consistently, whenever possible, the existence of a minimum and prevent marginalization and social exclusion of persons in risk. However, Moldova is now facing a higher level of number of people living in poverty, compared to many countries in Europe.
This study also highlights the active role and contribution that civil society organizations and the private sector demonstrate in their work, contributing to the implementation of the Millennium Development Goal 1 „Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger” (MDG 1) based on cooperation with State authorities and international organizations. Progress in eradicating poverty and hunger is possible due to the implementation of various programs of social support, and various measures as appropriate in agriculture and small and medium business development, including support of development partners in the country. Some of the necessary measures mentioned refer to the development of social assistance, especially social assistance to lower income persons and the establishment of a
National System of Case Referrals. A particularly important role in carrying out and implementing social programs is played by civil society organizations and to a certain extent, the private sector.
