• attracting investment, developing public-private partnerships, guarantees of transparency and protection of rights.

"We are working to create a policy that will be consistent, clear and based on real instruments. And the focus of decisions should be on people," the minister said.

Together with the government, communities, international partners, experts and representatives of civil society, he said, they have launched open consultations on the content of the future strategy.

According to him, work is underway to ensure that the future strategy includes not only goals, but also concrete instruments for achieving them - with clear powers, division of responsibilities, sources of funding, and a system of monitoring and reporting.

An interdepartmental working group has been established to coordinate the preparation of the document.

"We must adopt the Strategy as soon as possible," Kuleba said.
