The creation of the Alliance of Associations of Natives from Moldova

The forum for establishing the Alliance of Native Associations of Moldova (AABM) took place today in Chisinau and brought together representatives of the State Chancellery, Alliance of Native Associations, Local public authorities, the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the Nations Program United for Development (PNUD), members of the diaspora, but also other interested actors.

The objective of the event was to establish AABM as a legal entity, a process that will bring more facilities and opportunities for local development with the support of alliance members.

Present at the Forum, the state secretary of the State Chancellery, Adrian Bălutel, sent a congratulatory message in which he noted the need for the creation of the AABM. "The local development projects, the connection initiatives with our diaspora communities facilitated and driven by the Native Associations produce beautiful results that we see from all corners of the country. All projects, whether cultural or infrastructural, brought together must speak with one voice, and I'm sure that voice will be AABM. I am glad that the State Chancellery through BRD managed to contribute to this effort and I believe that from now on with the support of UNDP, BRD, SDC you will go in the right direction and the connection between the people at home and those in the diaspora will be increased, which represents an essential element that must dominate in everything we do to connect the diaspora", said Adrian Băluțel.

During the event, the representatives of the approximately 60 Native Associations, which submitted the files to become members of the AABM, designated the management persons and discussed the structure and model of internal and external cooperation of the AABM, as well as the strategic directions and results AABM for the years 2023-2027 in terms of institutional development. The forum for establishing the Alliance of Native Associations of Moldova was organized by UNDP Moldova, with the financial support of SDC.
