Project Description The development objective of the project is to promote sustainable soil conservation in and around degraded agricultural areas. In addition to improving soil quality and preventing further erosion, the project's afforestation activities will support global objectives of carbon sequestration and reduction of greenhouse gas concentrations. The project will conserve soils on 14,494 hectares of degraded pasturelands, by means of afforestation with tree and shrub species adapted to these adverse site conditions, providing urgently needed fuel wood and timber to rural people. This Project fits in the general framework of global climate change mitigation, a growing area of activity for the World Bank Group. The Bank serves as Trustee of the Prototype Carbon Fund (PCF), which implement the Kyoto Protocol on climate change on an experimental basis. In establishing this Fund, the World Bank had three strategic objectives: (a) to demonstrate how project-based Emission Reductions transactions can promote and contribute to the sustainable development of developing countries and countries with economies in transition; (b) to share with the Parties to the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change knowledge gained by the Trustee and Participants in the course of the Fund's operations; and (c) to demonstrate how the Bank can work in partnership with the public and private sectors to mobilize new resources for its borrowing member countries while addressing global environmental concerns. From the total project afforestation area of 14,494 ha, some 9,106 ha (63%) are property of Moldsilva or are being transferred from local communities to Moldsilva and 5,389 ha (37%) are owned by the local communities and which have contracted Moldsilva for a period of 5-10 years for executing the afforestation work on their behalf. The decisions of local councils have been taken and the contracts for the planting and maintenance activities have been concluded with Moldsilva. After the contract period forest management activities will be continued by the municipalities. The project afforestation area of 14,494 ha consists of 1,891 plots distributed among 151 primarii (mayoralties, municipalities, local communities) and 22 forest districts (forest enterprises), in all 11 judets (provinces)' of the country. The average and median plot sizes are 7.7 and 4.5 hectares, respectively (range, 1.1 ha tol 15.6 ha). Table 1 summarizes the project sites according to area classes and Figure 1 illustrates the data graphically. Table 2 summarizes the geographic distribution of the project sites across the country and indicates whether ownership is with Moldsilva or local communities. The judets were created by merging the former 50 raions (districts) that will be recreated in 2003. 3 Table 1.

The project planting started in October 2002 when 50% of the project areas were established. Planting will continue in 2003 (18% of 5 plantation), 2004 (13%), and 2005 (19%). The scheduled PCF Project Crediting Period will be for 15 years (2002-2017). 2. Status of Afforestation Lands According to the cadastre inventory the lands intended to be included in project (originally 14,912.7 ha) are distributed in the following land use categories: * Pastures - 5578,0 ha; * Glades and places without vegetation - 4939 ha; * Abandoned arable lands - 195,5 ha; * Perennial plantations - 257,24 ha; * Degraded lands - 3943,0 ha. To facilitate the project review, these categories were combined to form two larger categories, based on erosion conditions, fertility and vegetative cover: * Pastures 10,713 ha, incl. pastures (5,578 ha), glades (4,939 ha), abandoned arable lands (195 ha) * Degraded lands 3943 ha, incl. landslides, ravines, other degraded lands Different forms of erosion are common on the project sites, including landslides, soil creep, tillage erosion and particle movements (through-wash, rainsplash, rainflow, rillwash, gully erosion. 35% of the project sites show moderate to excessive, mainly surface erosion (Error! Reference source not found.). About 27% of the project sites are classified as degraded lands that essentially have no productive potential due to the occurrence of ravines and landslides. 3. Forest Operations This section contain a short description of the proposed forest operations. 3.1 Seedlings and trees protection measures Generally the seedlings diseases protection measures will comprise the following: * Supplementary treatment of seedlings with phosphorus and potassium. * Removal of infected seedlings and fallen leaves Tree protection measures outside those mentioned above for seedlings will include also the creation of multi-species stands according to the forest vegetation conditions. There are no plans to use pesticides. 3.2 Maintenance works All the interventions carried out in the framework of forest plantation from the canopy closure stage and up to the harvest are called maintenance cuttings. Through these 6 procedures, forest functions and phyto-sanitary conditions are improved, and the resistance of trees to harmful environmental factors is increased. Maintenance cuttings are programmed and carried out according to the Technical guidelines on maintenance and management of forests in the forest fund (CACS, Chisinau, 1995). The maintenance work falls into the following categories: * Thinning - 4,2 m3 /ha, including 4,2 m3 twigs, boughs, branches; * Thinning - 5,9 m 3 /ha, including 0,2 m3 of fuelwood and 5,7 m3 twigs, boughs, branches; * Thinning - 19,9 m3 /ha, including 2,1 m 3 timber, 15,6 m3 fuelwood and 2,2 m3 twigs, boughs, branches; * Hygienic cuttings - 16,4 m 3/ha, including 1,5 m 3timber, 13,8 m3 fuelwood and 1,1 m3 twigs, boughs, branches.

The first event was a seminar entitled “From Ethnopolitical Conflict to Inter-Ethnic Accord in Moldova,” which took place from 12 to 17 September 1997 at Flensburg, Germany’s northernmost city and seat of ECMI, and at Bjerremark, Denmark—a former farm near the town of Tønder in Southern Jutland. Participants were diplomats, politicians, university professors and businessmen from the Transdniestrian and Gagauz parts of the Republic of Moldova as well as from the capital &KLÈLQsX (Kishinev in Russian). To facilitate the exchange of ideas and to revitalise the stalled negotiations between the parties to the conflict, experts in international law and diplomacy from the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE), the Council of Europe, and the Foreign Ministries of Denmark and Germany were also invited.

    PROJECT CONCEPTS OF THE REGIONAL SECTOR PROGRAMME: Increasing the attractiveness of ATU Gagauzia for domestic and foreign tourists Authors: Angela Cascaval, Svetlana Lazar, Vitalii Chiurcciu, Svetlana Ghenova, Olga Aculova, Maria Nicolaev and Alla Cernioglo. Developed within EU funded project: “Technical Assistance for the integration of ATU Gagauzia in the national framework for regional development” – Contract № 2017/387 – 564 with the support of consortium: PLANET, AVENSA Consulting, INCOM Ltd.

The weak competition in tourist services market, lack of quality management of the development of tourist offer led to the fact that the ratio of price and quality of services makes them unattractive for tourists, mostly tourists spend no more than one day in Gagauzia. • The diaspora of Gagauzia sees the tourism potential of the region, based on the traditions and culture of the people, on the historical and natural heritage.
