The European Union will finance the elaboration of the technical and bidding documentation for the construction works within 18 water supply, sewerage and energy efficiency projects selected in the North, Center and South development regions of Moldova, IPN has learned from the Ministry of Regional Development and Construction.

The measures financed by the EU will be implemented through the agency of the project “Modernization of Local Public Services in the Republic of Moldova”. Alexandr Muravschi, acting manager of the project, said the measures will be carried out by the Regional Development Agencies with the involvement of a number of players.

Aneil Singh, Head of the Operations Section of the EU Delegation to Moldova, said the objective is to achieve concrete results for the population. There are two key areas on which the project focuses, namely provision of high-quality water supply and sewerage services and energy efficiency of public buildings.

Besides the €3.5million provided by the EU, the Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development of Germany will contribute €325,000.

The general goal is to work out the technical documentation for the 18 selected projects: ten water supply and sewerage projects and eight energy efficiency of public buildings projects.
