The European Union promotes sustainable development as the only way to ensure “enough for everyone, forever”. The sustainable Development Strategies (2001, 2006), EU 2020 and, more recent, Agenda 2030, as well as provisions of the EU’s Treaties indicate the leading role the EU is assuming in implementing and promoting sustainability. Every Member State share common values and objectives, to which any future candidate must adhere. EU’s relations with Moldavia must lead to the operationalization of shared values, in order to fulfill the Sustainable Development Goals and for a common future. In this paper we will present a project aimed to provide Moldovan local authorities with management tools that might contribute to the increase of transparency, citizen’s implication and effectiveness of public administration activities, in order to ensure the condition for sustainable development. The Integrated Management System can contribute to this, through its cyclic and multi-stakeholder involvement.
