In order for the law to be viable, the CSOs can contact consultants from various fields, such as:
a. finance - to make sure there is a budget and if so, this is a realistic and balanced one, with sustainable sources
b. legal - to make sure there are no interferences with human rights, with other laws and/or other legal provisions
c. social - to assess the wider impact of the future policy, its sustainability from social point of view and its long-term effects

The interaction with authorities should be made on partnership basis and from equal positions, because the CSO brings a valuable input (from the informational point of view) and comes with a solution to an existing issue.

# data[].attributes.headline
The CSOs need to continue their parnership with the authorities in order to monitor the implementation of the policy and its results on short, medium and long-term. Also, should the results not be the desired ones, changes may be brought (according to the existing legal tools).

There is a need to be precise on needed resources/funds, to have a plan on whom to involve and an idea on their attitude towards the proposed change; also, a certain flexibility could be vital

CSOs can offer trainings/counselling sessions for officials responsible for policy implementation;

Policies should be reviewed and assessed regarding their effectiveness; one may need to make adaptations and also mistakes in the policy cycle process should be analysed and can be an important source for future design of policy dialogue; thinking of appropriate indicators upfront are important for the policy review

a. Local authorities, as they are the closest to the issue and (should) know the most about the issue.
b. County/regional authorities, as they can enforce policies at regional level and can also direct budgets for different policies (this depends on the way countries and budgets are organised)
c. Central governmnets, as they have the power to pass laws and to allocate funding from the central budget.
These are all sources of information (in various levels) and information can also be taken from their own experience, from interaction with peer organisations and with beneficiaries.

# data[].attributes.body
As CSOs work closely with various beneficiaries, they are usually closer to real-life problems than those who decide on policies (government etc.) ..this means they can bring in valuable expertise and more easily identify problems; also, they are in the position to point out these problems (by reports, research, on social media etc.); however, ideally and if possible, a focus should be set on collaboration with responsible government/decision making bodies instead of e.g. only "denouncing" them;

# data[].attributes.headline
For agenda setting CSOs should collect data and evidence through research; build alliances; analyze stakeholders and what is their attitudes towards the identified problem/gap; communicate externally via media or in political advocacy - meetings, experts' forums etc.

CSOs should have expertise in the area of policy development and contribute this expertise through policy options formulation; the policy should address the bottlenecks and root causes of the problem; however, this may not be enough as a policy should be well documented, costed, embedded in national law and international commitments, should be relevant and aligned with government' priorities as much as possible; The main allies are other CSOs, the people whose lives will be changed; renowned experts in the field, such as academia, media and INGOs, as well as donors who could put pressure on the authorities;

If the policy is aligned with CSOs mission, the organisation could raise funds for the implementation; here the coordination is important as to not duplicate the efforts. In Moldova the authorities don't have sufficient resources and sometimes expertise to successfully implement a policy; however, the CSOs should strive not to replace the state but rather support, ensure transition and quality, M&E;

A CSO involved in implementation should document the lessons learned and have opportunities (in meetings or coordination structures) to share them; another possibility is the integrated evaluation missions where implementing CSOs could share their conclusions and recommendations;

O politica bine formată este atunci cand OSC-urile, părțile interesate sunt bine documente cu privire la necesitățile comunitare, existența cadrului normativ pe aceste segmente și prioritatile autorităților de conducere.La aceasta etapă este de datoria partilor interesate sa intervină cu informatie detaliată (rapoarte, cercetări, sondaje, analize ...) pentru a demonstra necesitatea soluționării unei probleme comunitare.

A very useful learning experience, which challenged us both at the theoretical level, through the shared knowledge, and at the practical level, through the examples presented in detail. And the trainer, although it was not an easy subject to deliver, did very well. I am glad that I participated in this workshop. I hope that there will be a continuation both at the theoretical level, through an in-depth study of topics such as M&E, statistical data collection, etc. and at a practical level, by increasing the impact of policies at the level of our organizations and beneficiaries. Thank you Caritas Vienna for involving me in this training!
