Budget policies are set to take gender into account under a new partnership between the Ministry of Finance and UN Women. According to the ministry, the memorandum signed in Chișinău on 3 November 2026 is valid for the next 3 years and provides for the development of public money management tools and the training of civil servants.
What is the partnership aiming to achieve?
The new Memorandum of Understanding aims to integrate gender equality into public policies and the way state finances are managed. The cooperation focuses on the budget process, according to the Ministry of Finance.
Minister of Finance Victoria Belous explained that this approach makes it possible to assess the impact of funding decisions in relation to citizens’ needs. In the minister’s view, tools and institutional capacity need to be developed so that the approach can be incorporated into public financial management practices.
What activities are planned?
The Ministry of Finance and UN Women will work to develop a public financial management system that incorporates a gender dimension. Thematic guides, training programmes and mentoring activities are planned for civil servants from the ministry and other line ministries.
How will the cooperation continue?
The memorandum was signed by Minister of Finance Victoria Belous and UN Women’s Country Representative in the Republic of Moldova, Dominika Stojanoska. The document continues the cooperation that began in 2023.
According to the ministry, the partnership also aims to strengthen the national institutional and legislative framework in the area of gender equality. The institution links this objective to international standards and the Republic of Moldova’s commitments, including those related to the accession process to the European Union.
