The Romanian Ministry of Foreign Affairs will allocate 3, 8 million euros in 2010 for the Official Development Assistance budget. In 2009 the ODA budget was less than 2 million euros. According to an interview given to Euractiv Romania, Mihaela Rutjens (Head of Division for Official Development Assistance, Romanian MFA) mentioned that 2 million euros from the 2010 budget will be used for implementing projects in the Republic of Moldova. Mrs. Rutjens believes this substantial increase in the ODA budget is a proof that our country wants to accomplish its commitments (as a EU member, Romania must allocate 0, 17% GNI for ODA in 2010). All activities reported as Romanian ODA in 2008 amounted up to 100 million euros, although the target for 2010 is over 200 million euros (0, 17% GNI).
