Moldova: Promoting effective multi-sectoral coordination
This video highlights Moldova’s strong emphasis on the importance of multisectoral coordination before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, Moldova had developed an intersectoral emergency preparedness and response plan which improved collaboration between different sectors, and had conducted a Joint External Evaluation in 2018 whereby 12 different ministries and agencies came together. During the pandemic, these positive multisectoral experiences proved helpful to smoothly conduct conduct an intra-action review and implement a multisectoral operational coordination mechanism that ensured a cohesive and coordinated response across sectors and levels. Moldova’s continual effort to build multisectoral partnerships through various activities and mechanisms has established a solid foundation that can be leveraged for future public health emergencies.
