EU4Moldova: ‘Local Communities programme’ completes three new wastewater systems in Straseni region 

The villages of Gălești, Căpriana, and Scoreni, in the Strășeni region of Moldova, are now  benefitting from new wastewater systems.

A total investment of €1.82 million was provided for the project by the European Union and Austria, in partnership with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development (MIRD) and local authorities. The project was implemented by the Austrian Development Agency (ADA).

Through these investments, approximately 1,000 households in the targeted villages now benefit from improved sanitation infrastructure. Public institutions were the first to connect to the new sewage network, ensuring that children, teachers, and citizens have access to safe and modern sanitary conditions. 

“Through strategic investments in infrastructure and strengthened local governance, citizens now benefit from modernised wastewater systems, upgraded public services, and empowered local authorities,” said Adam Grodzicki, Deputy Head of Cooperation at the EU Delegation to Moldova. “These achievements not only improve daily life but also reinforce Moldova’s resilience and readiness for European integration.” 

‘EU4Moldova: Local Communities’ was launched in 2022 as a Team Europe initiative of the EU, Austria, Germany and Poland, and was designed to improve quality of life and strengthen community resilience in the Edineț, Strășeni, and Leova regions.
