Moldova
We provide development support to people in five areas: civil society and good governance; emergency response and recovery; social inclusion and protection; rural development, livelihood & sustainability; human rights and media literacy.
We support civil society and NGOs throughout Moldova regions through projects focused on local communities & cooperation with local authorities, involving youth and older people. We also contribute to the inclusion of people with disabilities in society.
We encourage communities to participate in decision-making processes and strengthen civil society's relationships with public authorities.
In addition, we provide long-term support to Ukrainian refugees who were forced from Ukraine due to Russia's invasion of the country.
Our help in Moldova since 2003
We have been helping people in Moldova since 2003. Over the years, we have touched on the lives of countless individuals and communities and implemented projects and initiatives in areas such as education, human rights, social inclusion, and economic empowerment.
Moldova declared its independence in 1991, during the collapse of the Soviet Union. It has transitioned from industrial and agricultural production to the service sector; yet, for many, poverty persists. After Ukraine, Georgia, and Kosovo, Moldova is Europe's fourth lowest-income country. The rate of emigration from the country is one of the highest in the world. In 2020, almost 30 % of the Moldovan population lived abroad. After Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, the country endured a wave of migration and inflation.
