IFAD Consolidated Programme Implementation Unit ( CPIU IFAD) was created by the Government of the Republic of Moldova for the implementation of IFAD programmes, after the accession of the Republic of Moldova to the International Agricultural Development Fund in 1996. The components of the IFAD programs shall be implemented in accordance with the procedures established and approved by the IFAD in agreement with the Government of the Republic of Moldova. CPIU IFAD shall be responsible for the management, implementation, and monitoring of the activities of the programs as well as the coordination of activities with the institutions and organizations participating in the implementation of the programs.

Women’s representation in Moldovan politics and decision-making processes is below international benchmarks. According the national survey, 60.3% of population believes that men are better political leaders than women, or women do not have the same rights as men. In the case of the leaders of economic and social units the differences in gender aspect are more pronounced. Of the total number of local entrepreneurs, the main share is formed of men (72.5%); the share of women constitutes only 27.5%. Thus, the number of male entrepreneurs is 2.6 times higher than that of the number of female entrepreneurs.

The virtual visit brings the viewer among KM processes and practices at work. The objective is to provide a holistic overview of knowledge management and its importance in an organization: why, how and where an organization or institution can store, valorise and transfer the knowledge created. Special focus is on ICT based tools that can help knowledge management in achieving institutional goals through KM.

The project aims to elaborate the knowledge management (KM) innovation plan as a tool to support the project partners/stakeholders in adopting an approach capable of identifying existing gaps in different knowledge management processes (discovery & detection/(identification), acquisition & creation, storage and sharing/transfer of knowledge) and related feasible solutions in order to act through capacity development actions. The pivotal step will be the identification of the knowledge and resources in the possession of each institution partner, in order to enhance what them and prioritize what they need and what could be done. Each organization will contribute to design a plan of actions for better knowledge management, aiming at improving the knowledge produced and that is in coherence with the institution’s strategy, vision and mission. These “innovation plans” will support the institutions involved in the project to enhance the existing KM framework or its development, outlining a set of activities and interventions tailored for each one of them. The “National Writeshops to Develop Capacity Building and Innovation Plans” for Moldova, Morocco and Sudan were conducted in said countries to gather the information needed to inform the Innovation Plans, together with the Capacity Needs Assessment (CNA). The writeshops were conducted divided into two parts: a) a basic introduction to KM (definition, processes, technologies, role of people, leadership, culture) that could be used as a guideline for partners to complete the b) second part that consists in identifying needs related to the KM processes and the feasible solutions to be proposed at capacity building level.
