The Republic of Moldova has committed to achieving 106 targets for a better life by 2030. The respective targets represent the outcome of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda’s nationalization. Moldova has committed to implement the 2030 Agenda jointly with the other 192 UN Member States by adopting the Declaration of the Sustainable Development Summit that took place in September 2015 in New York.

The Agenda aims to accelerate the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals focusing, first of all, on eradicating poverty by 2030 and ensuring global sustainable development. To be significant, feasible and efficient, the Agenda has been adapted to the local context, following consultations.

The Moldovan State Chancellery, with the support of the United Nations, conducted consultations with over 200 persons and analyzed more than 60 comments. Following these consultations, it was recommended to integrate 106 targets of the 2030 Agenda into national policy documents. The authorities will further adjust sector strategies and budgetary programmes to implement the proposed commitments.

Lilia Palii, General Secretary of the Government reiterated her gratitude to the United Nations for the support to the process of nationalization of the SDGs and for the commitment to support the Government's efforts in developing the new framework for strategic planning - Moldova 2030: “The global development agenda may become, in the Republic of Moldova, a successful one only if, at this time, the country will make a correct prioritization of the targets to be achieved, by correlating them with the reforms agenda and the expectations of society. It is important to analyze the results obtained during its implementation, to adjust our priorities and targets at national level, considering as reference the development objectives agreed at international level.”

The nationalization report states that the national policy agenda is only partly aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and one third of the targets are not reflected in any national policy papers. Only 11% of the global targets are aligned with national policy documents and hence, do not require further adjustments. At the same time, most targets (57%) are currently only partially aligned with key policy documents of the Republic of Moldova, with only some components of these targets found in these documents. Thus, the relevant national strategies have to be adjusted to reflect better the spirit and details of the SDGs targets.

The successful implementation of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals depends on the feasibility of the strategic planning framework. The National Sustainable Development Strategy Moldova 2030 needs to include a long-term vision with regard to the priority targets of the global Agenda 2030.

The Moldova 2030 Strategy will be developed by the State Chancellery by December 2017, with the support of the UN in Moldova and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation.

“Today we will launch yet another partnership initiative of strategic importance for the future of Moldova, which will lay the groundwork for transforming the country into a modern and prosperous state where no one is left behind. The UN development system, Swiss Development Cooperation and the State Chancellery in close consultation with all relevant stakeholders and partners will commence the elaboration of National Development Strategy Moldova 2030. This will be a holistic and comprehensive agenda, which will be fully aligned with peoples’ aspirations, national priorities and country’s regional and global commitments”, declared Dafina Gercheva, UN Resident Coordinator and UNDP Resident Representative in the Republic of Moldova.
