I am grateful to the World Bank for the support provided, which helps us strengthen institutional capacities and develop a modern, digital and performance-oriented system", said Ana Luca, Deputy Secretary General of the Ministry of Finance, at the opening of the mission, according to a press release.
In turn, the World Bank representatives reconfirmed the institution's commitment to support the Republic of Moldova in strengthening an efficient, transparent and results-oriented public procurement system, which ensures better value for money and concrete benefits for citizens.
