1. STRENGTHS 2. WEAKNESSES “ What we do well, what do we know?“ “In what aspects we are not successful?“ Republic of Moldova comply with all relevant Low level to prevent all types of drugs and lack of requirements of an international control system over drugs prevention activities in schools. (UN treaties, etc.) The existence of gaps in cooperation between state institutions and NGOs The current structure of law enforcement bodies Specialized institutions and organizations are already involved in drug supply reduction, demand represents an obstacle to their effective activity. reduction and harm reduction. Insufficient training of representatives of various Republic of Moldova has legislation on drug control structures involved in drug. in accordance with international requirements. Inadequate technical equipment of law enforcement There is clearly interest of state institutions to bodies. cooperate with civil society representatives. Lack of coordination activities implemented at The National Centre for Drugs develops the annual international, national and local levels, and lack of a report on drug situation in the Republic of Moldova. mechanism / body coordination. The Government of the Republic of Moldova "Thinking" and outdated approach to drug approved the Action Plan on combating drug addiction and problems. drug trafficking for 2007-2009. Lack of financing from government budget of antiBetween 2007 and 2008 were performed studies drog services, offered by NGOs in the Republic of that allowed to obtain a broader picture about the drug Moldova. problems (ESPAD, MARA). The precarious situation in recent funding from There are treatment programs, treatment by external sources of harm reduction programs implemented substitution, including in prisons, and harm reduction by NGOs. programs. Discrepancies in the collected data and presented on

Drug action plans have already been adopted in some cities, at local level. Ministry of Internal Affairs is preparing changes in the structure of the police, including Anti-Drug Directorate. Over 90% of drug offenses are reported as found. BUMAD project in Moldova promotes and coordinates drug activities. UNAIDS Office in Moldova support HIV prevention and harm reduction activities undertaken by NGOs.

the drug situation (from different structures of different levels). Lack of social services for drug users and their relatives. Reduced coverage of anti-drug services in some areas of the country affected by drugs. Lack of funding for replacement therapy in small towns. Permeability of state borders in the smuggling of drugs because of their lack of control over. Lack of a clear strategy in terms of interaction between different actors at various levels involved in decision-making in drug policy. Gaps in the existing system of harm reduction and lack of treatment programs as well lack of a succession of working with drug users. Gaps in cooperation between police, schools and NGOs on drug abuse prevention at local level. Existing strategies / action plans on drug policy at national and local level does not reflect needs to finance planned activities. There is no regulatory framework / standards for anti-drug services to ensure their professionalism, quality and efficiency. Not knowing the terminology of strategic planning and project management, and confusion involving drug.

3. OPPORTUNITIES “ What opportunities do we see for the future? “

4. RISKS “ What could threaten / be a risk for our work in the future? “ Lack of cooperation in development and lack of willingness to adopt and implement a new anti-drug Strategy. Lack of financial resources or willingness to allocate funds for implementation of the new Strategy. Lack of sustainability in implementing of the new Strategy. Prioritization by politicians to reduce drug supply in the context of drug policy. Lack of competence / professionalism of staff in drug. Reduction of funding from external sources of recent programs of treatment and harm reduction. Lack of responsiveness of local decision-makers vis-à-vis the issue of drug policy (other preferences). Risk of stiffness of anti-drug Strategy developed and possibly adopted - limited space of flexibility for new developments and needs. "Habit" to develop different strategies and action plans without being implemented in practice. Lack of coordination and funding mechanism is a risk that this Strategy and Action Plan will not be implemented in practice. Various strategic documents could be taken without regard to whether they are effective or not. Decision-making processes often depend on the receptiveness of people who hold decision-making power.

EU raises technical assistance to candidate countries - the opportunity to receive funding for developing and implementing this Strategy. Twinning-projects with the Czech Republic financed by the EU, to improve data collection systems and to streamline the drug policy at the national level.
