The capacities and processes for implementing the 2030 Agenda are improved

The project provides support to the Moldovan Government towards the implementation of the National Development Strategy „Moldova 2030” elaborated in line with the 2030 Agenda, using a multi-level and sector governance approach. The project seeks to build capacities of the central administration (State Chancellery, various line ministries and parliamentary committees), of regional administrations and non-governmental organisations (NGOs), and supporting the alignment of processes to the 2030 Agenda and its principles. The project partners will receive training, in addition to organisational and process consultancy. Moreover, an implementation mechanism will be set up as well as learning and exchange, especially with Germany.
