Banca Mondială

Banca Mondiala reprezinta una dintre cele mai mari surse de finantare si de asistenta pentru tarile aflate in tranzitie si dezvoltare. Scopul ei principal este ajutorarea celor mai sarace populatii si state, folosindu-si resursele financiare si umane, precum si experienta bogata, pentru a reduce saracia din tarile in curs de dezvoltare, crescand nivelul cresterii economice si imbunatatind nivelul de trai.

Romania a devenit membra a Bancii Mondiale in 1972. Din 1991, Banca Mondiala a finantat peste 30 de proiecte, acoperind o gama larga de activitati.

La 19 iunie 2001, Consiliul Directorilor Executivi al Bancii Mondiale a dezbatut Strategia de Asistenta a Bancii Mondiale (CAS) pentru Romania pe perioada 2001-2004. CAS, elaborata in stransa colaborare cu Guvernul Romaniei, reprezinta un ghid al asistentei acordata tarii de catre Banca Mondiala.

Pana in prezent, Banca Mondiala a finantat aproximativ 40 de operatiuni in tara, reprezentand un angajament total initial de peste 4 miliarde de dolari.

Operatiunile de investitii si imprumuturile de ajustare (PAL) abordeaza trei domenii largi:

-Promovarea sectorului privat si dezvoltarea unor piete eficiente. Aceasta include finalizarea agendei de privatizare, imbunatatirea serviciilor de infrastructura, crearea unui mediu de afaceri favorabil investitiilor si cresterii economice si consolidarea eficientei pietei muncii.

-Edificarea unor institutii din sectorul public si imbunatatirea guvernarii prin reforma serviciului public, imbunatatirea gestionarii cheltuielilor publice si a responsabilitatii, implementarea unei strategii impotriva coruptiei si reforma justitiei.

-Constituirea capitalului uman si imbunatatirea protectiei sociale prin ameliorarea asigurarii de servicii sociale in domeniul sanatatii si educatiei si imbunatatirea sistemului de pensii.

In plus, programele de dezvoltare rurala si de reducere a saraciei vizeaza imbunatatirea infrastructurii rurale, inclusiv sistemele de irigatii, serviciile sociale si sistemul de finantare rurala, printr-un proces participativ. De asemenea, operatiile bancii vizeaza imbunatatirea productivitatii agricole si forestiere.

Analiza si consultanta este esentiala pentru contributiei Bancii Mondiale la eforturile de dezvoltare a Romaniei. Resursele pe care Banca Mondiala le are in domeniul dezvoltarii, cercetarii si al asistentei tehnice contribuie la identificarea domeniilor prioritare si la abordarea dificultatilor din procesul de dezvoltare.”

Complementing EU Support for Agricultural Restructuring Project (CESAR)

The objective of the Complementing EU Support for Agricultural Restructuring Project of Romania is to facilitate market-based farm restructuring through enhancing the ability of farmers, farm family members, and farm workers to manage their assets and income. Under this overarching objective, the Project will assist the Government of Romania (GOR) in completing the property title registration of land assets in rural areas to improve the security of land property rights and reduce transaction costs on rural land markets. Equally important, the Project will assist the GOR in improving the delivery of guidance services that enable the agricultural population to manage more sustainable its income and assets and thus contribute to the absorption of available national and EU support programs. The Project will consist of three components: (i) Land Administration which will support the completion of property rights determination and registration of land assets in rural areas, thereby improving the security of property rights and the functioning of rural land markets; (ii) Socio-Economic Guidance Services to the Agricultural Population which seeks to increase the ability of the agricultural population to manage its income and assets under consideration of national and EU support programs; and (iii) Policy, Strategy and Management which seeks to assist the GOR in improving its capacity to develop strategies associated with sectoral restructuring, as well as with EU integration, and pertaining to the policy fields supported under Components 1 and 2.
