  • Agricultural Land Reform in Moldova
    AGRICULTURAL LAND REFORM IN MOLDOVA Matthew Gorton, Department of Agricultural Economics and Food Marketing, University of Newcastle, Newcastle upon Tyne NE1 7RU. United Kingdom. ABSTRACT During transition, Moldova has pursued a policy of small-scale land privatisiation and a sucession of decollectivisation initiatives. Small-scale land reform has been important for bolstering the real incomes of rural households but living standards have continued to fall. While initial political resistance to decollectivisation has been overcome, serious challenges remain for co-ordinating agricultural production, procurement and marketing from a newly fragmented structure of land ownership. The delay in issuing formal land titles has inhibited the development of land market. The former large-scale collective and state farms provided several key social services in rural areas and the delivery of these services in the post- collectivised era also represents a serious challenge. Key Words Land reform, Moldova, Decollectivisation 1. INTRODUCTION Under communism, state and collective farms dominated agricultural production in most Central and Eastern Europe Countries (CEECs). During transition, governments have attempted to reform agricultural production systems by pursuing policies of reorganisation, privatisation and / or land redistribution. However, the nature of land policies has varied significantly between countries (Swinnen, 1999). Moreover, these reform policies have typically taken longer to implement than initially thought and have had unforeseen effects (Swinnen and Tangermann, 1999). Land reform is one area of restructuring which has seemed disappointingly slow despite it been perceived as 'an essential cornerstone' in successful transformation (Lerman et al. 1998; World Bank, 1998a). This issue has been particularly prominent in Moldova where in 1996 agriculture and the food industries accounted for 40% of GDP and employed 50% of the active labour force (World Bank, 1998b).

  • Proposal for Moldova
    AFB/PPRC.24/29 26 February, 2019 Adaptation Fund Board Project and Programme Review Committee Twenty-Third Meeting Bonn, Germany, 12-13 March , 2019 Agenda Item 9 v) PROPOSAL FOR MOLDOVA AFB/PPRC.24/29 Background 1. The Operational Policies and Guidelines (OPG) for Parties to Access Resources from the Adaptation Fund (the Fund), adopted by the Adaptation Fund Board (the Board), state in paragraph 45 that regular adaptation project and programme proposals, i.e. those that request funding exceeding US$ 1 million, would undergo either a one-step, or a two-step approval process. In case of the one-step process, the proponent would directly submit a fully-developed project proposal. In the two-step process, the proponent would first submit a brief project concept, which would be reviewed by the Project and Programme Review Committee (PPRC) and would have to receive the endorsement of the Board. In the second step, the fully- developed project/programme document would be reviewed by the PPRC, and would ultimately require the Board’s approval. 2. The Templates approved by the Board (Annex 5 of the OPG, as amended in March 2016) do not include a separate template for project and programme concepts but provide that these are to be submitted using the project and programme proposal template. The section on Adaptation Fund Project Review Criteria states: For regular projects using the two-step approval process, only the first four criteria will be applied when reviewing the 1st step for regular project concept. In addition, the information provided in the 1st step approval process with respect to the review criteria for the regular project concept could be less detailed than the information in the request for approval template submitted at the 2nd step approval process.

  • Pluguşorul (“Little Plough”) and Semănatul (“Sowing”) – Music Categories Belonging to Carol Singing As a Folklore Genre
    Bulletin of the Transilvania University of Braşov Series VIII: Performing Arts • Vol. 7 (56) No. 1 - 2014 PLUGUŞORUL (“LITTLE PLOUGH”) AND SEMĂNATUL (“SOWING”) – MUSIC CATEGORIES BELONGING TO CAROL SINGING AS A FOLKLORE GENRE. AREA OF DÂMBOVIŢA C. BOGHICI1 S. BOGHICI2 Abstract: The Romanian carol is still enjoying a great popularity, appearing as a great variety of customs, traditions and faiths transmitted from generation to generation. The customs called Pluguşorul and Semănat are part of the winter repertoire and take place between 24 December and 7 January, belonging to the carol genre. The customs related to the archaic plowing and sowing are some of the oldest and most beautiful Romanian traditions, pursuing to assure - through imitative magic - the abundance and welfare of the Romanian villages’ inhabitants. Their origins get lost in the darkness of history – coming probably from the Thracians, Agathyrsi (the Dacian’s ancestors), and Getho- Dacians, whose musical talent was mentioned by the great scholars of those times. While Pluguşorul (Little Plough) and Plugul Mare (Big Plough) are practiced on New Year’s Eve, Semănatul (Sowing) takes place on the following day, on Saint Basil’s Day, marking in this way the beginning of a new agricultural year, through magical acts meant to trigger the earth’s fertility. The organization in groups, the ritual, the structural elements (lyrics, melody, rhythm, ambitus, archaic sound systems), the props (petadou /friction drum, oxen, plough) suggest the whole unfolding of the agricultural works in the rural archaic communities, starting with plowing, sowing, reaping and grinding of the wheat out of which the bagels that reward the carol singers are made.
