Thirty one government officials trained to promote transparency, citizens' participation in decision-making process in Moldova

Thirty one public officials from the State Chancellery and ministries involved in drafting normative acts and policy documents today participated in the second training session as part of the Ensuring Transparency and Public Participation in the Decision-Making Process programme, organized by the institutional network,  ‘’Te Consult’’ (I Consult You).

The participants were trained to promote public participation in the decision-making process and to prepare consultations aligned with European standards. The officials were familiarized with the stages of the decision-making process, identifying and involving relevant stakeholders—including civil society and the business community—as well as with effective ways of organizing and communicating in public consultations.

"This programme is very important for us, because by strengthening the dialogue between the government and society, the network will contribute to increasing public trust, developing more citizen-centered policies, and strengthening democratic institutions. This year, the "Te Consult" network is at its second edition and we aim to expand the community of trained public officials and reach new promotions by the third edition," said Alexandru Iacub, Deputy Secretary General of the Government.

As of October, 2025 till March 2026, with support from The Folke Bernadotte Academy, network members will participate in six topic-related sessions dedicated to the effective application of transparency and public consultation standards in the decision-making process.

The "Te Consult" network was initiated by the State Chancellery in 2024, with the purpose of forming a new generation of public officials dedicated to open governance, citizens’ involvement and transparent decision-making. In the first edition of the programme, the State Chancellery, in partnership with the National Democratic Institute, trained 32 officials from central public administration.
