Abstract

The Government of the Republic of Moldova has as a major priority the attraction of the external assistance from the development partners. In this sense, positive results were obtained in 2016 regarding the disbursements of the external assistance. The article deals with the main shortcomings identified in the coordination process of external assistance in the Republic of Moldova. Taking into account the assistance from the development partners, it is very important that Moldova has an efficient mechanism for programming, implementing, monitoring and assimilating external assistance. In this context, the authors come up with a set of short, medium and long term recommendations aimed at overcoming the existing deficiencies in the coordination of the external assistance.
