This forest policy note (FPN) offers
an outside view of the Moldovan forestry sector, provides
some strategic guidance to help define sector goals, and
identifies opportunities for consideration in the continued
development of the sector and for the implementation of the
Moldova and World Bank (WB) country partnership strategy
(CPS). This study is based on a number of short visits to
Moldova and on a number of background studies undertaken
during the implementation of both phases of the European
neighborhood and partnership instrument (ENPI) east
countries, forest law enforcement and governance (FLEG)
program. The WB CPS for Moldova recognizes that the forestry
sector plays an important role for competitiveness and
climate change but has not received the attention it
deserves. This FPN builds on previous work within the
forestry sector. It aims to inform the WB project
formulation process and the forestry sector by reviewing the
sector and highlighting the main policy issues and
identifying possible actions.
