In the process of improvement of national regulatory framework harmonization of environmental legislation with the provisions of European Union (EU) directives national environmental protection system faces many constraints particularly related to outdated standards normative acts capacity of responsible institutions shortage of qualified staff in the government sectoral institutes etc. The importance of integrated management of the Dniester River is indisputable for the Republic of Moldova. It is the largest river in the Republic of Moldova covering 70% of the country's water consumption needs thus being considered a strategic surface water resource for both environmental and socio-economic security of the country. For the joint Moldovan-Ukrainian management of the Dniester River a topic of major importance for Moldova is the impact of the operation of the Dniester Hydropower Complex (HPC) on the Moldova’s territory. In the frameworks of project Study of social and environmental impact assessment of the Dniester Hydropower Complex funded by Swedish Embassy and implemented by UNDP in 2018-2021 there was clearly shown its negative impact on the environment downstream.

It is based on the findings of the Transboundary Diagnostic Analysis (TDA) for the Dniester River Basin. Both documents have been developed according to the methodology agreed by the two countries and have been extensively consulted. The documents contribute to the Dniester River basin management planning at the national level as well as support implementation of international commitments to develop joint plans for the transboundary basins. On March 31 2021 there was signed a Joint Statement on the approval of the Strategic Action Program for the Dniester River Basin for 2021 between the Ministry of Agriculture Regional Development and Environment of the Republic of Moldova and the Ministry of Environmental Protection and Natural Resources of Ukraine. Along with attempts to solve the cross-border aspect of the Dniester River management on the platform of the Dniester Commission currently environmental institutions are in an extensive process of functional analysis aimed at streamlining the structure functions and capacities in the field of integrated management of water resources.
