Søren Jensen, Ambassador of Denmark to the Republic of Moldova, said that the Danish assistance will focus on digitalization to ensure transparency and effective oversight in the electoral process.

"To ensure the right of every Moldovan to vote with confidence in free and fair elections, Denmark has enhanced its support to bolstering democratic reforms," stated Ambassador Jensen.

The Danish funds will enable tailored support for the Central Electoral Commission so as to boost its capacity to oversee political parties and election campaigns and prevent illicit and corrupt funding sources. A key focus of the program s enhancing Moldova’s digital electoral management capabilities.

The program is to be implemented during 2024-2028 and is co-funded by Norway, Sweden and Canada. It is part of a broader UNDP regional program aimed at accelerating inclusive and green transition, responsive governance, and social cohesion in the Eastern Neighborhood region, with a country-level focus on Moldova and Georgia.
