Client Overview
The Government of the Republic of Moldova, through the State Chancellery, has initiated an administrative-territorial reform known as voluntary amalgamation. The goal of this initiative is to encourage first-level administrative-territorial units (ATUs) to merge to improve administrative efficiency and local development. To support this process, a dedicated online platform was needed to provide updated information and useful resources for all stakeholders.
Implemented Solution
To achieve these objectives, the online platform amalgamare.gov.md was developed, featuring the following capabilities:
- Interactive Map – Enables users to view each ATU, highlighting their current stage in the amalgamation process. Users can explore the map and access additional details about each step.
- Online Voluntary Amalgamation Simulator – An interactive tool that allows interested ATUs to evaluate compliance with the amalgamation process, identify the central ATU, and estimate financial transfers from the Voluntary Amalgamation Fund.
- Resources and Documents – Access to legal frameworks, amalgamation procedures, process steps, reports, and other useful resources for local authorities and citizens.
- News and Events – Dedicated sections to inform the public about the latest developments, news, and events related to the voluntary amalgamation process.
Results and Impact
The launch of the amalgamare.gov.md platform has had a significant impact on the voluntary amalgamation process:
- Increased Transparency – The public and local authorities have access to updated and detailed information about the amalgamation process, increasing trust and participation.
- Practical Tools for ATUs – The online simulator and interactive map have provided ATUs with valuable tools to evaluate and plan the amalgamation process, facilitating informed decision-making.
- Higher Participation – Over 100 localities in the Republic of Moldova are involved in the voluntary amalgamation process, and the online platform has played a crucial role in informing and mobilizing them.
Conclusion
The development and implementation of the amalgamare.gov.md platform represent a successful example of using technology to support administrative reforms and promote governmental transparency. By providing interactive resources and updated information, the platform has facilitated the voluntary amalgamation process, contributing to the consolidation of local public administration in the Republic of Moldova.
