Abstract
30 years after revolution in December 1989 and the fall of communism, Romania seems to still not have found its way towards sustainable development, facing more challenges that would have been expected for a democratic society. Frequent political changes, controversial economic decisions and measures and the lack of coherence in the implementation of strong and reliable economic, health and social policies have caused a permanent mistrust of the population in a favourable future. Over the years, although technological progress has been visible in all fields of activity, wages have increased and the possibilities for achieving a satisfying living standard have multiplied, some social categories became richer, while others became poorer, external migration increased, some rural communities are facing disintegration and the Romanian population is menaced by demographic ageing. An important part of the population belonging to several categories labelled as disadvantaged or vulnerable are prone to social exclusion or marginalization. Fighting this phenomenon is one of the most important objectives of the European and internal policies and some of the key-instruments supporting this process are the projects implemented in Romania from European funds. Statistics on the degree of absorption of the European financing in Romania are regularly performed, but there are few analyses on the degree of satisfaction and trust regarding these projects’ implementation, undergone from the perspective of the beneficiaries themselves. Such analysis is intended through the present article, the results revealing the necessity and opportunity of similar future approaches.
