14 LPA groups, comprising 56 communities in Moldova, will benefit from stronger local governance and increased access to quality public services, thanks to a project funded by the Government of Switzerland. The Project MĂ IMPLIC will provide support to local authorities and citizens to improve local administration, strategic planning, and public service delivery. Approximately 106.000 citizens in these communities will benefit from this initiative.

Following the competition launched in December 2023, the Project MĂ IMPLIC evaluated 58 applications and selected 14 groups of partner local public authorities (LPAs) from the North, Center, South, and Gagauzia regions for the second phase of the project, which will be implemented from 2024 to 2027. The complete list of selected groups is available at the link: https://ma-implic.md/download/concurs2024-apl-partenere/?wpdmdl=10586&refresh=664ce7b85674b17163160880.

The project “MĂ IMPLIC” aims to contribute to strengthening local governance and increasing the population’s access to better public services.  The project will support partners at the local and national levels to improve local governance in three fundamental dimensions:

• First-level LPA groups will be supported in the efficient management of resources and the promotion of sustainable and inclusive local development;
• The government will be encouraged to promote and coordinate local public administration reform in an efficient, effective, and transparent manner;
• Citizens in partner communities will be actively involved in the local governance process and will positively influence the quality of managed public services.
