On September 28th, the United States Government represented by the US Agency for International Development (USAID) and the Government of Moldova represented by Prime-Minister Pavel Filip signed the assistance agreement to provide about $27 million for activities of creating “a more effective and accountable democratic governance system and increase trade and investment”. <\/p>\n

The agreement was signed by the PM Filip and the USAID representative Karen Hillard, US Ambassador James D.Pettit serving as witness. <\/p>\n

The focus of the agreement is to support good governance and to increase investment:
\n“The activities to support good governance will focus on increasing citizens\u2019 engagement in overseeing governmental decision making, improving transparency and accountability of the justice system, improving local governments\u2019 responsiveness to citizens\u2019 needs, and combating corruption.<\/p>\n

To increase investment the projects will focus on improving competitiveness, enhancing the business climate and regulatory frameworks, increasing access to finances, and improving agriculture practices.”<\/em><\/p>\n

USAID will provide funding through contracts and grants to local implementing partners, responsible of reporting on the use of funds and the progress. <\/p>\n
