Protected Areas management
The Protected Areas cover 5.61 % of the country’s territory. Orhei is the first National Park in Moldova, created in 2013.
The Authorities responsible for PA management at the national level are the Ministry of Environment, mostly for Protected Areas policies and the Academy of Sciences. Forest Agency Moldsilva and local Public Authorities manage Protected Areas at a local level.
National Park Orhei has an established administration but relates to other Authorities in the field.
The Training and capacity Needs Assessment
The Training and capacity needs assessment report (2014) The ”Assessment of capacity development needs of Protected Area staff in Eastern Europe. Republic of Moldova” is based on a survey that has been filled in by the staff employed in the National Protected Area management system of Republic of Moldova in 2013.
The results of the surveys provide detailed information on staffing profiles, training provided in the past three years and structured assessments of competence, based on which recommendations have been developed.
The preparation and publication of this report was supported by the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (Bundesamt für Naturschutz: BfN) as a component of the project ‘Capacity Building Plans for Efficient Protected Area Management in Eastern Europe’ (Number: Z1.3-544 11-63/12 (FKZ: 3512 82 1800)).
The report is available for download at the end of the article.
