A three-year project aiming to accelerate Moldova’s EU accession was officially launched in Chisinau on Tuesday. The project is a part of the European Union's assistance to candidate countries seeking EU membership.
The "Moldova is Europe: Supporting EU Integration" project is fully funded by the European Union and implemented by a consortium of international partners.
It will focus on several strategic areas, including governance, the rule of law, economic development, safe and sustainable infrastructure, public-oriented education and environmental sustainability.
The launch event was attended by high-level representatives of the European Union and the Republic of Moldova, representatives of public institutions, civil society, media and other key figures.
“The launch of the project is a clear proof of our shared commitment to the modernisation, prosperity and sustainability of the country,” Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said at the event. “Together with citizens and our partners, we will build a European Moldova – a more sustainable state that actively contributes to a peaceful future for Europe.”
Through the provision of technical assistance, training programmes and financial resources, the project aims to accelerate the process of bringing the candidate country into compliance with EU standards and regulations. The project includes an important initiative to attract motivated and qualified young professionals into public administration by providing them with paid internships in public institutions.
In addition, the project will strengthen the capacity of the public administration to implement reforms by improving strategic planning and sector policy development. The project will increase stakeholders’ understanding of EU policies, legislation and regulations, and strengthen administrative and institutional capacity to fulfil the requirements of the EU accession process and achieve the priorities set out in Moldova’s Growth Plan. To achieve this, the project engages thirteen high-level EU advisers and international and local experts on a medium- and short-term basis to support key public administration authorities.
