Moldova has initiated the borrowing procedure from the European Investment Bank of 100 million euros for the implementation of the "Solid waste in the Republic of Moldova" project. According to a government decision, subject to public debate on particip.gov.md, the loan will be disbursed in several installments, the first tranche being 25 million euros.
The first installment is designated for the construction of new sanitary warehouses and facilities for composting, material recovery, anaerobic digestion and mechanical biological treatment. Additionally, the project aims to install containers and to use vehicles for mixed and separate collection of waste.
If the framework loan agreement is signed, a 10 million euros grant shall be issued by the Eastern Partnership Technical Assistance Trust Fund for the elaboration of feasibility studies, for the identification of long-term solutions at the regional level and for the subsequent support in the implementation of regional projects.
