The roles of the Communication Unit (CU) and the NSIH in pension information dissemination during this operation were crucial toward meeting the project development objective; implementation of similar projects requires improving the capacity of the implementing agencies to analyze social protection policy issues; it is essential to maintain commitment to pension policy reform. Implementation of a similar operation on pensions and social protection will require a better understanding of the institutional environment in which the project is to be implemented; strong reliance on sound analytical basis for designing effective operations in social protection is important. This operation was underpinned by the Bank's Economic Sector Work (ESW) and intensive dialogue with the Borrower, which contributed to a better understanding of social protection issues in Moldova.
