Between 2010-2011, the Foundation PAUCI in partnership with Business Consulting Institute are implementing  the project “Good governance in Chisinau – introduction of performance budget in the capital of Moldova”, which is co-financed by the Polish Aid Program of the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs.  

The aim of the project is to promote the good governance in Chisinau and especially to improve the quality of the financial management by introducing the model of performance budgets based on the experience of the Polish cities selected within the project.   

The project activities include the preparatory stage and the introduction of the performance budget in Chisinau Municipality (2010-2011).

Within this project a group of specialists in the budget field made a study visit to Poland between November 3-6, 2010, in which they were familiarized with the performance budgeting in Krakow, Tarnow and Krosno.

The visit in November was preceded by a study visit to Poland of the Administration of Chisinau Municipality (in May 2010), by trainings in June and September 2010 and by a study visit to Poland in October 2010 of the representatives of all the partner sectors involved in the budget system of Chisinau Municipality.          

The activities in 2010 will be summarized in the seminar which will take place in Chisinau in December 2010, when will be created the Task Force in the field of performance budgeting in Chisinau Municipality.  

In January – June 2010, the employees of the budget units of the Management of Chisinau Municipality and the members of the Task Force will prepare the first draft performance budget for Chisinau, under the coordination of Polish and Moldavian experts.    

The official introduction of the performance budgeting in Chisinau is planned from the year 2013.
