The draft strategy represents the government's vision on the transformation of the central and local authorities in the context of the accession to the European Union and the new socio-economic realities. The strategy aims at the implementation of reforms in five components: management of public offices and civil servants; improvement of the institutional framework of the central public administration; strategic planning and development of public policies; de-bureaucratization and development of electronic services; local public administration. The Strategy aims at an efficient, transparent and responsible central and local public administration, capable of continuous improvement, offering accessible and quality services to citizens and businesses in Moldova, thus contributing to social welfare and strengthening social cohesion. The measures envisaged in the Strategy will be implemented in two phases: 2023-2026 and 2027-2030. According to preliminary estimates, around 160 - 250 million lei will be required for its implementation, including about 40 million euros for the Central Public Administration Reform and 120-210 million euros for the Public Administration Reform at territorial level. // 09.02.2023 - InfoMarket.
