Summary/Abstract: In the context of the local public administration of the Republic of Moldova, the process of improving the act of local government, according to the principles enunciated in Law no. 436 of 28.12.2006, provides for the consultation and direct involvement of citizens in the decision-making process. According to a report monitoring the access to information and transparency in the decision-making process, carried out in 2010, the situation at local level shows a low degree of knowledge and implementation of legislation in the field. Thus, only 32.1% of the municipal / district / local authorities / institutions provide citizens with the right of access to public information. At the same time, regarding the level of knowledge of the law on transparency in the decision-making process, 49.7% of local public authorities and 40.7% of civil society answered that they know “few” and “very few”, and 36.4% from local public authorities and 11.8% of civil society “know nothing” or did not know what to answer. Through this paper we set out to investigate the extent to which local public authorities apply the provisions of the law on transparency in decision-making process no. 239 din 13.11.2008. This law is particularly important, because it regulates the dialogue and collaboration between the public sector and the recipients of the regulations elaborated by it, respectively, citizens, non-governmental organizations, business associations, etc.
