| Hintergrund | Moldova’s growth model relies on remittances and consumption. It is neither sustainable nor resilient in view of increasing climate risks, a volatile security and political environment, and cumulated economic shocks. The agriculture needs modernization. The growth in the service sector needs consolidation. Moldova’s economy is dominated by Small and Medium Enterprises, whose potential is untapped and trapped in bureaucratic quagmire. Informality is widespread. Acting on these challenges will accelerate Moldova’s economic transition, and its European, digital and green transformation. |
| Ziele | Women and men in Moldova, including excluded groups, benefit from better economic opportunities and improved working conditions. |
| Zielgruppen |
On the one hand, the project will target organisations with the capacity to foster systemic change as well as businesses, and, on the other hand, people who will benefit from better opportunities and income (end-beneficiaries). The private sector, its actors and representatives are the primary partners of this project. It includes entities such as sector and business organisations, intermediaries and companies. Among its beneficiaries, the project will also target returning migrants, women and excluded groups such as rural youth and ethnic minorities. |
| Mittelfristige Wirkungen |
Outcome 1: Private sector actors are more competitive, access higher value markets and improve the quality of their job offer. Outcome 2: Moldovan women and men increase their employability and make informed career choices. |
| Resultate |
Erwartete Resultate: Resultate von früheren Phasen: 3’021 people (37% from excluded groups) benefitted from improved economic opportunities and earned over CHF 7.25 million (33% for excluded groups) of net additional income. |
