Deputy Mayor Angela Cutasevici had a meeting with the Head of the UN Office for Disaster Risk Reduction (UNDRR) Regional Office for Europe and Central Asia.

The discussions focused on the stages of approval and implementation of the Urban Resilience Strategy for Chisinau Municipality for the period 2024-2030, developed with the support of the UNDRR.

"The strategy, developed in 2023, includes an action plan focused on strengthening city governance, improving critical infrastructure, and increasing societal resilience. The document has been consulted in multiple stages and has received endorsements from the structural subdivisions of the City Hall, as well as from several national and international entities. The document is to be completed in accordance with the necessary recommendations. Subsequently, it will be submitted for approval to the Chisinau Municipal Council," mentioned Angela Cutasevici.

The UNDRR team congratulated the Chisinau local public administration for developing the Resilience Strategy, as well as for the commitment demonstrated by the City Hall in this initiative.

At the same time, UNDRR expressed its willingness to cooperate with the City Hall team to ensure the successful implementation of the Strategy, relying on UNDRR processes, such as reviewing applicable budget expenditures at the local level, and on the broader tools of the Making Cities Resilient 2030 initiative.

In 2020, Chisinau became the first municipality in the Republic of Moldova to join the United Nations Office for Disaster Risk Reduction's initiative - Making Cities Resilient 2030.
