November, 17, Chisinau - The national development strategy European Moldova 2030 was adopted in the second reading by the Parliament.

The national long-term strategic vision document indicates the country's development directions and adapts to the national context the priorities of the international commitments assumed by our country according to the EU Association Agreement and those deriving from the status of a candidate country for EU accession.

The development goals of the strategy reflect the aspirations of increasing the well-being of the people of the Republic of Moldova, improving the lives of citizens, Europeanizing state institutions, strengthening democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights.

Thus, the document sets out ten general objectives, used to measure the quality of life at the level of the European Union. These are increasing income from sustainable sources and reducing inequalities; improving living conditions; guaranteeing relevant and quality education throughout life; raising the level of culture; improving the physical and mental health of the population; solid and inclusive social protection system; efficient, inclusive and transparent governance; fair, incorruptible and independent judiciary; peaceful and secure society; healthy environment. The project aims to achieve concrete indicators by 2030, for example reducing the level of absolute poverty by at least 50%. If GDP growth will be higher than the planned annual level of 5% until 2030, respectively, the absolute poverty reduction indicators will also be better.

The strategy will be the reference document in the process of developing the medium-term budgetary framework and defines the strengthening of the resilience of the Republic of Moldova in the event of new crises.

The project was developed by the Government with the support of development partners.
