Item type:Item, Identification and use of sustainability and resilience indicators within banking institutions(“Victor Slăvescu” Centre for Financial and Monetary Research, 2024) Popa, VioricaOrganizational assessment and reporting on sustainability, a tool developed and conceptualized in the middle of the 20th century in the context of cooperative activity, is expanding and becoming an important tool for measuring and communicating organizational performance in order to achieve the objective of sustainable development, accountability for this performance to internal and external stakeholders. A sustainability report also presents the organization's values and governance model and demonstrates the link between its strategy and its commitment to a sustainable global economy." Increasingly, corporate sustainability reports take the SDGs into account. Through Directive 2014/95, the EU introduced, for certain large companies, the obligation of non-financial reporting in relation to certain minimum sustainability information. The reporting methods applied differ depending on the entity's management requests, the nature and usefulness of the non-financial information presented. The article was developed within the framework of Subprogram 030101 „Strengthening the resilience, competitiveness, and sustainability of the economy of the Republic of Moldova in the context of the accession process to the European Union”, institutional funding.Item type:Item, Enhancing the competitiveness of agricultural value chains in Moldova: national strategic directions(University of Agronomic Sciences and Veterinary Medicine of Bucharest, Romania, 0025) Stratan, DumitruMoldova's agricultural sector is a key economic pillar, yet its potential remains underutilized due to technological gaps, infrastructure deficits, market fragmentation, and financial constraints. This study examines strategies to enhance four key value chains-vegetable production, soft fruits, apiculture, and sheep/goat farming-through improved infrastructure, policy reforms, cooperative strengthening, and expanded financial access. The research integrates an extensive literature review, statistical analysis, and primary data from 100+ respondents via surveys, guided interviews, and participatory consultations. Sources include reports from the National Bureau of Statistics, FAO - Food and Agriculture Organization, GIZ - Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit, IFADInternational Fund for Agricultural Development and others. Additionally, consultations with policymakers and industry leaders provided critical insights into investment needs and regulatory barriers. The study employs a mixedmethods approach, combining thematic qualitative analysis with quantitative statistical interpretation. By triangulating data from multiple sources, this research offers a comprehensive assessment of Moldova’s value chains, delivering evidence-based recommendations for stakeholders, policymakers, and development partners to drive competitiveness, sustainability, and market expansion.Item type:Item, Development of agricultural climate change vulnerability index: the case of Moldova("Gheorghe Asachi" Technical University of Iasi, Romania, 2026) Ianioglo, Alina; Gutium, TatianaAs one of the main sectors of Moldova’s national economy, agriculture is particularly vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Climate change influences the sustainability of the agricultural production system. In this context, considering regional peculiarities, it is essential to assess the vulnerability of the agrarian sector to climate change. The research aims to develop a composite index of agricultural vulnerability to climate change adjusted to the regional peculiarities of Eastern Partnership countries, such as the Republic of Moldova. The paper presents the Vulnerability Index of the Agricultural Sector to climate change for the country’s administrative-territorial units. A set of indicators was determined to develop the composite index and assess the agricultural sector’s vulnerability to climate change. The normalization method was used to bring the disparate data to a single scale. Calculations performed using the developed index revealed that every second district out of 35 is highly or very highly vulnerable. Four districts in the southern region (Leova, Basarabeasca, Taraclia, and Cantemir) and two in the central region (Hincesti and Nisporeni) exhibited a very high level of vulnerability. One of the reasons for vulnerability is water shortage. To solve this problem, irrigation systems must be restored, reservoirs must be built to store rain and flood water, and drip irrigation must be practiced in agriculture. To reduce the vulnerability of agriculture, it is necessary to develop new crops more resistant to drought, low temperatures, and diseases.Item type:Item, Vizibilitatea activității științifice al profesorului Valeriu Doga reflectată în indicatori bibliometrici(ASEM, 2025) Bordian, Elena; Coslet, EcaterinaÎn cercetarea științifică contemporană, analiza bibliometrică este un instrument esențial pentru evaluarea cantitativă și calitativă a producției academice.

It has a wide potential to contribute to the rural development and to ensure food security. However, the growth of sheep and goat sector is constrained by important structural challenges, like insufficient technological modernization, limited diversification of products, constrained market access, as well as vulnerability to climate change. The paper analyses the current policy and economic framework that governs the sector and emphasizes the existing achievements and shortcomings. Based on the analysis of statistical indicators, policy documents and public support programs in the field, the paper identifies the main areas that are needed to be aligned with EU standards and international best practices that must be implemented. The research acknowledges the importance of targeted subsidies for the sheep and goat sector that may lead to a better value chain integration, improved veterinary services, as well as the promotion of high-value traditional sheep and goat products or organic ones. The findings reflect that a coherent policy framework coupled with economic incentives in the shape of public support could contribute to increase of competitiveness, sustainability and resilience in the sector. The article concludes with recommendations for improving policy coherence and strengthen the institutional mechanisms to ensure the sustainable development of sheep and goat farming in the Republic of Moldova.
