According to the Ministry of Labor, the document marks a new stage in the collaboration between the Republic of Moldova and Switzerland and establishes priority action directions in areas such as social dialogue, promotion of decent work, development of professional skills, combating undeclared work, and adapting the labor market to economic and technological changes.

The institution further specifies that the partnership will allow the valorization of Swiss experience and expertise in the development of more efficient policies for both employees and employers.

A new session of the EcoVoucher Program, funded by the European Union, begins on Saturday, July 18 and will run until August 2. During this period, approximately 825 households in the Republic of Moldova will be able to receive vouchers worth 6 thousand lei for the purchase of energy-efficient appliances, reports IPN.

The National Center for Sustainable Energy mentions that vouchers can be used for the purchase of refrigerators and washing machines. The program aims to reduce energy consumption in homes and replace old appliances, which consume more electricity.

In this edition, households where minors, people over 63 years old, or people with severe disabilities live are eligible. The authorities specify that the measure aims to reduce energy costs and improve the living conditions of the beneficiaries.

Since the launch of the program, over 42,500 households have replaced their old appliances with more energy-efficient ones, benefiting from funding of up to 70% of the cost of a new device. According to data presented by CNED, the annual energy savings achieved by beneficiaries exceed 37 million lei, and over 300 tons of used refrigerators and washing machines have been collected for recycling within the program.

The EcoVoucher program is developed by the Government with the support of the EU and is implemented by CNED, within the project “Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energies for Moldova”. The project is implemented by GIZ in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Moldova and is funded by the German Government, with co-financing from the EU, Norway, and Denmark. The current session is funded by the EU.
