Abstract:
Ensure that a local government that operates democratically and autono-
mously has the capacity and resources to deliver public services according to
the needs and requirements of the beneficiaries, in terms of efficiency, effective-
ness, equity, including from the perspective of the rights of vulnerable groups,
and financial discipline has become a strict necessity for the development of
local autonomy in the Republic of Moldova in the context of deepening democ-
racy. Until now, local authorities have been operating in an excessively politi-
cized environment with an administrative capacity that is currently extremely
low, which is reflected in the disproportion between the legal attributions and
the financial resources allocated to them.
