 What are Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers ? Poverty reduction strategies are the basis of all concessional lending by the World Bank. Papers explaining the strategies, known as Poverty Reduction Strategy Papers (PRSPs) are prepared by national governments detailing their policies and programs to promote growth and reduce poverty. They also specify the external financing needed to carry out these policies and programs. PRSPs are prepared by governments through a process that brings civil society and development partners, including the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF), together. Interim PRSPs (I-PRSPs) A country needs to write a PRSP only once every three years. However, changes can be made to the PRSP on the basis of an Annual Progress Report. Where countries are not in a position to complete the key steps to develop a PRSP, an Interim PRSP ( I-PRSP) can be prepared. An I-PRSP outlines a country’s existing poverty reduction strategy and provides a road-map for the development of a full PRSP. World Bank and IMF Assessments of PRSPs and I-PRSPs World Bank and IMF Joint Staff Assessments (JSAs) evaluate the soundness of PRSPs and I-PRSPs and thereby assist the Boards of the World Bank and IMF in judging whether an I-PRSP or PRSP provides a sound basis for assistance and debt relief.

Moldova’s first Interim Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper (I-PRSP) was developed and approved in November 2000. The change in the government in 2001 has led to a delay in the preparation of the full PRSP. Instead, an updated I-PRSP was approved in April 2002. The development of the full PRSP (called Economic Growth and Poverty Reduction Strategy Paper- EGPRSP) took another two years. The full Strategy was developed in consultation with broad-based stakeholders and civil society. The participatory process was organized under the supervision of the Participation Council, comprised of representatives of all stakeholders. The EGPRSP, approved by the Parliament in December 2004, represents a critical step toward achieving sustainable economic growth and poverty reduction.
