The Millennium Development Goals are a set of objectives and priorities that Moldova adheres to and that set a path for the future social and economic development of the country. The Millennium Development Goals consist of 8 goals that vary in nature from the eradication of poverty, to health, environmental protection and international cooperation. First introduced in 2000 with vast support from countries from all across the world, the Millennium Development Goals have been accepted and scheduled for implementation in Moldova from the get go. We will, through this paper, attempt to better understand the role that these goals play in the development of the Moldova economy and the changes and innovations that they bring about. The first Millennium Development Goal states that countries must eradicate extreme poverty and hunger entirely by the 2015 completion target-year. While the inexistence of mass poverty means that a country has a relative economic stability and, thus, represents safety for potential investors, the poverty rate in Moldova continues to be at roughly 30%, thus the outlook for the revised 2015 goal of 23% still, potentially, being difficult to achieve. Regarding the gender equality goal, Moldova is on track and with little more progress to be made (women representing 58.6% of the labor force in services 45.8% - in industry and 45.5% in agriculture), ensuring the proper representation of women and their social involvement will allow the nation to tap into a source of immeasurable growth – with women representing an intellectual and innovative part of the population with a vast economic, social and cultural potential [1]. When speaking about the ensuring universal access to lifelong quality education goal, a number of things must be considered: over 92% of children attend primary school education, also almost 90% continue to secondary school in 2009 (which is roughly 0.2% less than in 2000, but nonetheless satisfactory) [3]. With regard to the environmental goal of reducing emissions / maintaining low emissions, although the quantity of emissions has very slightly risen, Moldova is still one of the smallest polluters in the world, not even being included in international pollution charts. Moldova is also active in the carbon emissions trading scheme, selling its right to pollute to other nations. With regard to green energy, Moldova is only now starting to have projects related to renewable energy. The last goal that Moldova undertook as part of the Millennium Development Goals is the creation of a global partnership for development [2],[4]. The further development of an open, rule-based, predictable, non-discriminatory trading and financial system is one of the sub-objectives that Moldova has excelled at with exports more than tripling, imports growing four-fold and investments being 18 times higher in 2008, as opposed to 2000. Moldova has successfully managed to reduce its external deficit and maintain a relative economic stability, despite the 2009 economic crisis. With regard to Moldova’s landlocked status and deficiencies resulting thereof, Moldova has achieved an enormous breakthrough by managing to construct its first port and purchase the land required to connect Moldova to the port. Maritime trade opens up new and exciting opportunities for Moldova’s future economic development and provides a cheaper means of goods’ transportation [2]. Having studied the Millennium Development Goals and having established the importance of each and every one of them, we can undisputedly conclude that the participation in such challenging endeavors that require the country to rethink itself, improve its practices and innovate, not only its technology, but also its whole social and economic system, ensuring the implementation of efficient governance and the proper monitoring and aid of the different existing economic sectors - are only welcome and can only speed up and enhance the quality of the development. Moldova is already on its road towards the completion of the Millennium Development Goals, but must continue to work hard in order to minimize the impact of the economic crisis of 2009 on the achievement of its assumed goals. In the end, without objectives and goals, an individual cannot progress, nor can he evolve – a country similarly requiring careful planning and forward-thinking in order to maintain its competitiveness and ensure stability and prosperity for its population.
