Automatically translated summary. The full article is available in Romanian.
The Independent Think Tank “Expert-Grup”, in partnership with the Institute for European Policies and Reforms (IPRE), has completed the selection of 20 local public authorities (town halls) in Moldova. They will receive support under the project “Inform, Empower and Act! Civil Society for Better Budget Governance in Moldova”.
The 20 first-tier local authorities come from four development regions: North (Bălți, Soroca, Drochia, Sîngerei, Florești), Centre (Strășeni, Călărași, Rezina, Telenești, Șoldănești), South (Cahul, Cimișlia, Leova, Cantemir, Sălcuța in Căușeni) and UTAG (Ceadîr-Lunga, Vulcănești, Baurci, Tomai, Gaidar).
Over the next two years, the authorities and civil society representatives will receive methodological and organisational support to implement requirements on citizen participation in the budget process. Participating authorities that complete the project successfully will be awarded a trophy for their achievements. The project is implemented by Expert-Grup as lead partner, in a consortium with Konrad Adenauer Stiftung e.V. (Germany), the Centre for East European Studies (Lithuania) and IPRE, with financial support from the European Union and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung e.V. Five regional partners also take part.
