The present Strategic Plan aims to inform the overall approach undertaken by CPD in order to contribute most effectively towards greater gender equality in Moldova in the next three years. The Strategic Plan is rather guiding in principles than prescriptive. It is guiding in the sense that it presents a method (focus on how) of dealing with identified challenges more than it prescribes a vast array of actions (focus on what). It is also guiding since much of the outlined actions and initiatives rest outside CPD’s influence .
