Representation

At the national level, the LPAs are represented by the Congress of Local Administration of Moldova (CALM). CALM is a non-governmental organization registered as a non-commercial entity on 10 May 2010. To date, half of the mayors of the first level of LPAs have become members of this entity. The organization is actively involved in the process of drafting legislation.
Another organization which represents the interests of LPAs in Moldova is the Union of Rayon Councils in Moldova (UCRM), which was established in 2012. It is composed of heads of the rayons.

Information

The Rayon Council is charged with the dissemination of information regarding draft legislation and plays the role of a 'bridge' between the national and local governments.

Consultation

According to the Law on transparency in government decision making, each initiative should be subject to consultation with the local population. Local authorities are obliged to publicise their initiatives online within fourteen days of holding public hearings and consultations.

Coordination

There are no specific mechanisms for coordination among the national and local governments.​
