The Government of Moldova explicitly acknowledges that decentralization represents an essential item on the reform agenda of the country. The goal is to provide quality services to women and men equitably - including the rights of persons from vulnerable groups - through building autonomous and democratic local governments, able to manage efficiently their responsibilities. Thus, on April 5, 2012 the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova adopted the National Decentralization Strategy that represents the main policy document in the field of local public administration and establishes the national mechanisms to ensure genuine local autonomy. Prior to Strategy’s approval, the Government has benefited from the support provided by the Joint Integrated Local Development Programme/JILDP implemented by UNDP and UN Women and funded by the Government of Sweden and UNDP. Given the stringent need to further advance with the implementation of the Decentralization Strategy, and building on the successful cooperation with the Joint Integrated Local Development Programme, the State Chancellery together with United Nations have designed a new Programme phase to support the implementation of the Decentralization Strategy at policy and local levels. The Overall Objective of the Programme is to support better and equitable service provision and sustainable local development, facilitated by the improved legal and institutional framework resulting from the implementation of the National Decentralization Strategy. The Immediate Objectives of the Programme are: - To support the Government in improving the policy and legal framework as mandated by the National Decentralization Strategy to ensure local autonomy, availability of resources, and more effective local management for better and equitable service provision. - To improve the capacity of Local Public Authorities/LPAs to deliver efficient, equitable and accessible local public services, to facilitate sustainable development and foster social inclusion. The interventions at the local level (20 target communities) will aim at developing models of operational local governments - ‘champions of change’ - by providing support to implement changes in the operation and structure of local governments in line with the changes brought by the Decentralization strategy. JILDP will assist LPAs in improving their capacity and operations, will support target communities and their local authorities to provide quality public services to achieve sustainable economic and social development, in the main areas affected by the Decentralization strategy. In order to efficiently implement the designed systems and procedures, the Programme will work to consolidate the LPA’s capacities in the above-mentioned areas along three dimensions: i) improvement of individual professional capacities through training of municipal officials and local administration staff in strong cooperation with the Academy of Public Administration and CALM; ii) strengthening of institutional capacity, through the introduction of improved methods and organizational arrangements for delivery of quality services and managing municipal public resources and iii) build-up of systemic capacity for effective and cooperative intergovernmental relations between local authorities and the central level authorities and administration.
