Part I of the document describes the background and relevant technical details of this concept, which are of general relevance for all countries that intend to carry out this tool in line with the WFD. It describes the agreed concept and fundamentals to establish an investigative monitoring. This part, consequently, is the official basis for the national investigations and are integral part of the relevant contracts which lay down the execution of the practical investigation. Part II addresses specific national considerations, which have been identified in the course of EUWI+. They build the basis for national investigations which were carried out in autumn 2020. Thus, this doc- ument acted as a living document and shall summarize the investigative monitoring process for one EUWI+ country from the first considerations to the final conclusions. Part II was intended to be the template for reporting of national results, conclusions and lessons learnt within the practical investiga- tion. It is integral part of the contracts and lay down the execution of the practical investigation. Thus, Part II of this document presented a template for reporting after the survey, once the fieldwork was accomplished. The activity concludes with reflections on lessons learnt.

  • The Projects Are Implemented in Cooperation with the Ecocatalyst Foundation NARRATIVE REPORT Reporting Organisation: National En
    The projects are implemented in cooperation with the EcoCatalyst Foundation NARRATIVE REPORT Reporting Organisation: National Environmental Center Country: Republic of Moldova Reporting period: 2015 1 1. Background This project has the following major activities which were carried out in 2015: CNM – leader in IWRM in Moldova Developing a youth network “Love your river!” Festival of Bic river Collaboration with the Ministry of Internal Affairs to counteract cases of environmental pollution Various activities were organised in 2015 to strengthen the youth network “Love your river!”. In autumn 2015 it is envisaged to organise the first Forum of the Youth Network “Love your river!” in order to agree and plan the activities for 2016. The third edition of the Festival of Bic river “Love your river!” will be organised in 2016 due to the fact, that there were organised local elections in summer 2015 and the chairs of the District Councils were changed, now CNM will establish relations with the newly appointed Chairs of the District Councils and other newly elected representatives of public authorities to further implement the Bic river Rehabilitation Initiative and plan the organisation of the 3rd edition of the Bic Festival. Letters to ask for the support will be again sent to private companies and to the Mayoralty of Chisinau municipality who will be the host of the event. It is envisaged to involve more seriously those companies which will be included in the SCR program of CNM. CNM will continue to promote the creation and support the operation of the River Basin Councils. At the moment CNM is Technical Secretariat of the Bic Basin Council which is meeting 3-4 times a year to discuss solutions for the improvement of the environmental state of the river, and it has also helped the local authorities to create Ichel Basin Council (spring 2015), Tigheci Basin Council (autumn 2014, the second meeting was organised in winter 2015) and Larga Basin Council (autumn 2014, the second meeting was organised in winter 2015).

    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. Project partners Executive Committee of Gagauzia Agency for Regional Development of Gagauzia This publication was produced with the financial support of the European Union. Its contents are the sole responsibility of authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the European Union. CONCEPT “AT-PROLIN” 7 CONCEPT “AVDARMA” 17 CONCEPT “GAGAUZIA” DESTINATION MANAGEMENT ORGANISATION 25 CONCEPT “GAGAUZ HERITAGE” 33 CONCEPT “THE GAGAUZ CARPET” 43 CONCEPT “GEOPARK” 51 CONCEPT “CARBALIA ECO-PARK” 59 CONCEPT “MEDICAL AND HEALTH TOURISM” 67 CONCEPT “SUPPORT TO LOCAL ARTISANS” 76 CONCEPT “WINE ROUTE” 85 Summary As a result of analysis, in order to determine the degree of attractiveness of the region of ATU Gagauzia de- velopment, there were made general conclusions which became the basis for defining the objectives of the program to increase the tourist attractiveness of the region. • Tourism in Gagauzia is very poorly developed. 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.
