A fundamental aim of decentralization is to increase the administrative capacity of localities and districts (defined as the sum of all resources at the disposal of the administrative-territorial unit - human, financial, material), which has to become more competitive.  The objective of the Republic of Moldova is to transform central and local public administration into an efficient and state-of-the-art  administration. Modernization of the administration is necessary if we want to capitalize on the funds, to which access has recently been opened. If we fail to strengthen the administrative capacity - proposed by the decentralization process, but also through the other elements of the reforms - this will not be possible.
