Police Reform Support in Moldova Stöd till polisreformen i Moldavien Insatsen baseras på slutsatser från genomförbarhetsstudien som gjordes med stöd från Sverige och som genomfördes av Polismyndigheten 2016-2017. Upplägget bestod av två delar: 
(1) en genomförbarhetsstudie och (2) en process bestående av designen av ett projektförslag baserat på Logical Framework Approach (LFA). Deltagande av den Moldaviska partnern, the General Police Inspectorate  (SPI), och medlemmar av civila samhället säkerställdes under projektets design och förberedelser. Under den första fasen gjordes en bred analys för att bedöma förutsättningarna för utvecklandet av ett samarbetsprogram mellan den Svenska polismyndigheten och dess Moldaviska motpart the General Police Inspectorate. Den andra delen utgjordes av designandet av projektet. 

Insatsen som skapades efter genomförbarhetsstudien syftar till att stödja arbetet med reformering av polisen i Moldavien och att assistera Moldaviska myndigheter att implementera "Strategy for Police Development 2016-2020" inom tre områden: Närpolisverksamhet (community policing), grundläggande taktik och utredning av ekonomisk brottslighet. Insatsen kommer att genomföras under tre år (2017-2020) i nära samarbete med den svenska Polismyndigheten som implementerande partner och dess nationella motpart, the General Police Inspectorate of Moldova. Projektet stödjer den Moldaviska polisen i genomförandet av en nationell modell och metod för närpolisverksamhet med syfte att stärka partnerskapet mellan polis och lokalsamhället samt för att på ett bättre sätt kunna möta behoven från kvinnor, män, flickor, pojkar och marginaliserade grupper. Dessutom kommer projektet att introducera en modell för grundläggande polistaktik vilket syftar till att förbättra den lokala polisens professionalism och kapacitet att agera effektivt i ingripanden som kan utvecklas till farliga situationer. Projektet ämnar att även att stärka den Moldaviska polisens kapacitet att utreda finansiella brott med fokus på skattebrott, skuldbrott och pengatvätt. På längre sikt förväntas leda till effektivare förebyggande och bekämpande av organiserad brottslighet och förbättrad finansiell stabilitet i Moldavien. Jämställdhet och anti-korruption är tvärfrågor som genomsyrar insatsen. 
Avtalet mellan den svenska ambassaden och svenska polismyndigheten är på engelska för att underlätta kommunikation och användbarhet hos lokala partners. The current contribution is based on findings and conclusions reached during the "feasibility phase" the Embassy supported in 2016-2017 in Moldova and implemented by SPA. The assignment consisted of two parts: (1) a feasibility study and (2) a process of designing a possible programme based on the LFA methodology.The Ministry of Interior, the GPI and civil society participation was ensured during the programme preparation and designing phase. During the first phase, a broad analysis was elaborated to assess if there are preconditions for developing a cooperation programme between the SPA and the GPI on police reform. The second part of the assignment aimed at designing the potential programme based. 

The contribution designeed after the feasibility phase aims to support the Police reform in Moldova and to assist Moldovan authorities to implement the Strategy for Police Development 2016-2020 in three areas: community policing, basic tactics and economic crimes investigation. The intervention will be implemented during three years (2017-2020) in close cooperation between the Swedish Police Authority (implementing partner) and the General Police Inspectorate of Moldova (national counterpart).The programme will support Moldovan Police to implement the national model and method of community policing to strengthen the partnership between the police and the local community and to respond to the different security needs and priorities of men, women, girls and boys as well as marginalised groups in the community. As well, the project will introduce a model and method of basic police tactics witch will contribute to improving the professionalism and capacity of the police to act effectively in interventions that constitute or may develop into dangerous situations. The project will strengthen the capacity of Moldovan Police to investigate financial crimes, with a focus on tax crimes insolvency crime, money laundering. On long term this will contribute to more effective prevention and combating of organised crime and improved financial stability in Moldova. Gender and anti-corruption are the main cross-cutting issues of the project. 
The agreement between the Swedish Embassy and the SPA is in English to ensure usability toward local partners. The programme will support the Moldovan Police to develop and implement a national model and method of Community Policing that will strengthen the partnership between the police and the local community and respond to the different security needs and priorities of men, women, girls and boys, as well as marginalised groups in the community. The model will be tested and implemented in five pilot regions (to be selected by the GPI). The programme will introduce a model and method of basic police tactics, which will contribute to improving the professionalism and capacity of the police to act effectively, judiciously and in accordance with the legal rights of the individual in interventions that constitute or may develop into dangerous situations.  The programme will strengthen the capacity of the Moldovan Police to investigate financial crimes, with a focus on tax crimes, insolvency crimes and money laundering. This will in the long term contribute to more effective prevention and combatting of organised crime and improved financial stability in Moldova. The support will focus on developing the capacity of the personnel of the Economic Crimes Unit of the GPI to gather, process and disseminate intelligence information to support the investigation and legal process. 
Gender and anti-corruption will be mainstreamed throughout the programme. This means that women’s as well as men’s, girls’ and boys’ concerns, needs and priorities will make an integral part of the implementation, monitoring and evaluation of the programme. It also means that issues of integrity, transparency and accountability will be given heightened priority throughout programme implementation, monitoring and evaluation.
