comments:

All LEP territorial actors with support from central institutions

challenges:

There no negative challenges but the challenge of mainstreaming the green transition and advocate for green transition to be implemented in an inclusive manner.

success:

The support to beekeeper associations and the beekeeping sector provides an encouraging example, further detailed in the following lesson learned number 8

context:

The Territorial approach to employment partnership has been successful in Moldova and has committed to support certain type of business based on its territorial relevance.

description:

The LEP project support to specific sectors calls to provide support in organising the management, structure and economy of strategic sectors. The testimonies from beekeepers’ economy stakeholders, complemented by other territorial stakeholders and ACAM is clearly pointing towards to the relevance of applying an economic sector support perspective. In a complementary manner, both projects have been contributing to developing area-based job creation and economic, institutional development systems. This evaluation’s findings echo with the evaluator’s previous observations in a previous evaluation of ILO LEP project phase 1 in Bosnia: A system that would only allow the creation of a jobs scattered on the basis and location of unemployed needs alone is likely to produce positive results but at low scale only. Quantitative results are a must to effectively and positively impact on the job creation and labour market development. To the evaluation, the” critical mass” expected effect requires three concrete measures: 1. Economic Sector Development orientation, 2. Prioritization and substantial increase of State resource allocation in order to reach the critical mass effect, 3. The mainstreaming of the Green Economy dimension, as it is not only a policy priority but also a key aspect to the development of one of Moldova’s strategic sector: (Green) agriculture, food production and food processing.
