Ten civil society organisations in Moldova receive EU financial support 

The European Union has disbursed over €166,300 (3.3 million MDL) to ten civil society organisations (CSOs) from the Republic of Moldova for projects improving access to public services and strengthening social cohesion. 

The support is provided through the Moldova ASSIST project, funded by the European Union and implemented by People in Need Moldova, in cooperation with the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection. 

This initiative fosters effective collaboration between civil society actors and public authorities to ensure equal access to public services, including for the most marginalised and vulnerable people. 

The grants will be used for renovation and modernisation works, the purchase of equipment and furniture, the development of specialised services, community engagement activities and events, staff training, and institutional capacity building. 

“The European Union strongly believes that lasting, positive change begins with investments in people and communities – especially in the most vulnerable,” said Jānis Mažeiks, EU Ambassador to the Republic of Moldova. 

One of the key objectives of the Moldova ASSIST project is to support the RESTART reform and the reform of the educational system by strengthening public services in the social sector, with the active involvement of Moldovan CSOs. The RESTART reform aims to enhance governance and transparency in the social assistance system and ensure equal and consistent access to quality social services for vulnerable populations.
