Moldova Comprehensive Gender Assessment

The UNCT in Moldova, including the World Bank (WB), has, with the support of the UN RCO, developed a joint gender assessment that will allow an integral and comprehensive understanding of the root causes and impact of gender inequality in Moldova. The overall objective of the assessment is to develop a comprehensive assessment of the state of equality between women and men in Moldova in education, health, economic opportunities, and voice and agency. The specific objective of the assessment is to promote a common understanding among UN entities and the WB of patterns of gender inequality in the Republic of Moldova. The assessment will also allow for an increased coordination of efforts, greater efficiency in the support provided to the country and strengthening of joint work in the field of gender equality and the empowerment of women.
