The working group that consists of representatives of ministries and of the Comrat authorities finalized the plan of action for improving the socioeconomic situation in the Autonomous Territorial Unit of Gagauzia
for 2016-2019. The document is to be transmitted to the Government for approval, IPN reports.
Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Economy Octavian Calmac said the plan includes short-, medium- and long-term measures aimed at preventing the worsening of the economic crisis, bringing the national economy back on an ascending trajectory and ensuring preconditions for balanced economic development.
Among the actions that are to be taken are the implementation of the state program for studying the official language, including in preschool education institutions, and creation of a strategic framework on regional development for the development region Gagauzia. Sections of the hospitals in Comrat, Vulcanesti and Ceadar-Lunga and the emergency assistance units in several communities are to be extensively repaired during the next few years.
Some of the immediate and short-term measures do not require additional financing besides the budget funds and financing received through development partners’ sector programs. For the actions that imply additional costs and are to be carried out during the second implementation year, the central administrative authorities and responsible institutions will budget money within the next budget planning stage. Measures will be also taken to attract external assistance so as to ensure the full implementation of the plan.
