Six Moldovan towns receive rapid-response emergency equipment from EU

On 25 November, the municipal enterprises in Moldovan towns  Drochia, Iargara, Sîngerei, Criuleni, Strășeni and Cantemir received modern equipment sets designed to support faster emergency interventions. 

The equipment with a total value of nearly MDL 2 million was provided by the European Union through the ‘EU4Moldova Resilient – Secure State, Resilient Communities’ project, implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova.

Each municipal enterprise received a set of equipment including tipper trailers, wood chippers and water pumps. These new tools will enable local public utility teams to respond promptly to storms, heavy snowfall, floods, water accumulation, fallen trees or damaged infrastructure.

Marcia Kammitsi, Programme Manager within the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova said: “Our support focuses on people and their safety. Through investments like these, we help smaller towns respond more effectively to climate-related challenges and protect lives and property.”

By the end of this year, six additional municipal enterprises will receive medium-power tractors needed to respond quickly to heavy snowfall.

In total, the 12 municipal enterprises were selected through a public grant call launched in March by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova. The total value of the equipment amounts to almost MDL 6.5 million, funded by the European Union.
