Here, Prime Minister spoke of the broad participation tools of civil society in decision-making, being mentioned the creation of National Participation Council (NPC), the functional platform particip.gov.md, as well as national Councils specialized in various fields, with a large implication of the civil society representatives.

Priorities for the next period of time is making the activity of NPC more dynamic and elaborating common priorities of the Government - NPC, making all platforms for participation more efficient and consulting civil society in the process of public policies, as well as identifying new interaction mechanisms.
