The paper’s author analyzes several alternative options for local public services management in the Republic of Moldova, based on current legal framework and existing administrative practice. For this purpose, the need to choose an alternative management option was analyzed; alternative options were listed; and an analysis of each option was performed. The paper’s perceived need emerged from an existing situation, typical for the Moldovan local government, where management can only be one of the two traditional ones - direct or delegated, both generating enough problems (studied by the author in other publications). However, local government is often unaware of the fact that it has other perfectly legal alternative options. A reflection chart is included at the end of the paper in order to help local government select the optimum management option when it comes to the public services delivery.
