The annual report has been developed by the CPIU IFAD in accordance with the General Conditions for Agricultural Development Financing, article VIII, section 8.03 (Progress Report and Mid-Term Reviews) of the Loan Agreement no.l-i-832-md, Grant No. G-I-C-832-MD and Financing Agreement Grant No.C-DE-832-MD. The progress report reflects the evolution of the programme s implementation performance achieved during 2011, the first PY, starting from July (when the Project has been launched) up to the end of December. The report reflects activities implemented and action taken by CPIU-IFAD in the first six month of the project implementation, compared to the planned activities from 2011 AWPB. The progress report address quantitative and qualitative progress made in implementation of the Project; problems and constrains encountered during the reporting period; steps taken by the CPIU-IFAD to eliminate the problems or barriers for successful implementation of the Project and it includes lessons learned and recommendations feed into, to inform and shape the IFAD. 2. Rural Financial Services and Agribusiness Development Project, the fifth IFAD programme in Moldova, became effective on 04 July 2011 and would be implemented during 60 months period. For the implementation of overall Project s activities, IFAD has allocated USD 19.8 million, including USD 19.3 million as loan and USD 0.5 million as grant. 3. The goal of RFSADP is to contribute to reduction of rural income poverty in Moldova. 4. The Project s objectives are: (i) To improve in a pro-poor manner the efficiency of agriculture-related value chains, particularly through support to the introduction and establishment of internationally-recognized quality and foodsafety standards and support to the development of contract farming; (ii) To increase the access of poor rural people to credit through support to appropriate, affordable, rural financial instruments; (iii) To alleviate or remove infrastructural bottlenecks to improving the assets and incomes of poor rural people. 5. The RFSADP s activities are implemented through four main components: (i) Pro-Poor Agribusiness Development will support and target rural people through linking them more profitably, either as producers, small or medium entrepreneurs or employees to agricultural high-value commodity chains; (ii) Rural Financial Services will contribute to alleviating the problems of lack of access to financing through: (i) longer term financing of SME investments in agricultural value chains supported by RFSADP; (ii) medium to longer term financing of young entrepreneurs investments in agricultural value chains; (iii) short to medium term financing of rural microenterprises investments in productive assets and working capital for such enterprises. (iii) Small-Scale Rural Infrastructure will contribute to removing infrastructure bottlenecks which inhibit the participation of poor commercially/market-oriented small farmers and economically active rural poor in Project-prioritized value chains and consequently their access to the corresponding benefits. (iv) Project Management will finance the operations of CPIU in performing it responsibilities concerning the RFSADP implementation. 6. Each component includes specific activities, which details actions and interventions taken to achieve the goal and objectives of the project. It is to mention that the progress report refers only to the events and achievements within components and sub-components which were in actions in reporting period. 4

All costs related to the reported period have been covered from IFAD loan, and mostly refers financing provided under Rural Financial Services component. No costs have been covered from IFAD grant. The biggest part of the grant allocation (USD 60.0 thousands) for 2011 was designated to initiate development of Agribusiness Equity Fund.

Agribusiness Equity Fund concept addressed to the potential investors in the fund, preparation in invitation letters to the potential investors to participate in cofinancing the Agribusiness Equity Fund and assistance provided to the MAFI to launch call to potential investors to express interest in rising fund. MAFI has sent letters to 12 international organizations and agencies inviting to join IFAD in setting Agribusiness Equity Fund. ToRs for international expert in Agribusiness Equity Fund Development have been prepared, but due to the fact of short time left by the end of the year and leak of interest of international donors/investors to participate in co-financing fund, this activity was postpone for In 2011 USD 30.6 thousands has been disbursed from DANIDA grant, which represents 15% of the annual allocations (see table 2).

Technical assistance, training and studies V. Recurrent costs Total The disbursement of funds during the initiating of the project in the first PY 2011 was below the estimated plan and can be explained by the following: i. The RFSADP was announced effective on July 4 th 2011 and the AWPB included period July-Dec.2011, but the SLA s with PFI were signed in only in Oct Development and approval of procedures took rather long time, which did not make possible disbursement as it was plan. The CPIU-IFAD, when developing the AWPB it was too optimistic referring time for procedures of launching and starting implementation of project activities. ii. The SLAs were signed in Oct.2011, but PFI could not yet start disbursement, due to bank internal requirements for approval of conditions for financing in the new project by the Credit Board of the bank which took about one month more. Some branches of the banks even in December did not have conditions for disbursement of loans from RFSADP. 23. In the reporting period the CPIU has taken measures and interventions in order to eliminate constrains and to improve disbursement of loans. As a result in December 2011 and beginning of 2012 the RFSADP made significant progress, which insures coverage of the missed opportunities in initiation stage of the project. 8
