Summary/Abstract: The interdisciplinary approach of the term sustainable development has been stated and reaffirmed by many researchers and displayed by many studies. When targeting the public administration sustainability, anyone interested in the topic should have in mind programs, initiatives and actions meant to implement quality policy frameworks and standards, irrespective of the evaluation model. Resilience, as a concept, addresses both the workforce and the organizational level. The method I have used through the undergone analysis is a descriptive one. The Romanian National Plan of Recovery and Resilience has revealed dynamic contexts leading to different organizational behaviours, enablers’ motivation and desirable outcomes. The above-mentioned document underlines the term ‘reform’, implying transformations, solutions and investments. The question that is asked by more and more persons, interested in the domain, is whether sustainable development has gained its momentum, if actions have been implemented so that, through an integrated change process, the long-awaited sustainable development is achieved.
