Monitoring official development assistance to the health sector in the Republic of Moldova: 2011 Report

This paper is the fourth annual report on official development assistance to the Moldovan health sector. Its main aim is to provide a full picture of external assistance to the health sector, thereby highlighting any gaps or overlaps in donor assistance across the priorities laid down in the strategic policy documents – the National Health Policy 2007–2021 and the Healthcare System Development Strategy 2008–2017. Additional objectives include:

• improving the information available for sector coordination and strategic decision-making;
• helping to attract additional investment and assistance in the medium term;
• extending the monitoring exercise to include cross-referencing of health-sector strategies (adopted for 2008–2017), health system functions, disease areas, type of support (policy, technical, investment etc), and to the geographical distribution of investments.
