Resilient, Inclusive Markets in Moldova – Phase 2
01.05.2025
- 30.04.2029

01.10.2024
- 30.06.2028

The Covid-19 and the war in Ukraine hindered the progress and increased the fragility of Moldova’s health system. In its exit phase, the project will focus on the sustainability of the improvements introduced in NCD prevention and control. By improving the performance of the public health and the primary healthcare systems, the project also strengthens the overall resilience of Moldovan’s health system.

Supporting Moldova in confiscating and recovering stolen assets (CRESTA)
01.10.2024
- 14.06.2029
In its path towards viable democracy, Moldova has to demonstrate commitment to some core values and standards, including the rule of law, which entails deep anti-corruption reforms. Whilst the country has adopted significant national legislation to fight corruption and improve asset recovery, the value of confiscated assets remains low. Switzerland will assist Moldovan anti-corruption institutions to enhance their capability to recover and manage stolen assets, ensuring effective application of the legislation.
Social Cohesion and Peace Initiative, Phase 1
15.07.2024
- 31.12.2025
Social cohesion in Moldova is weak, with low levels of intergroup contact and civic engagement. Divisions run largely along political lines and have deepened since the Russian aggression against Ukraine. Fostering constructive dialogue is essential for building social cohesion and resilience. The project aims at creating opportunities for young and elderly people to become more active in community processes, while addressing dividing lines within the Moldovan society and paving the way for inclusive nation-building and sustainable peace.

The project will promote gender-responsive policies and initiatives to address key barriers to women's socio-economic inclusion.

The proposed initiative aims to provide equitable access to quality health care for refugees with temporary protection, in line with the priorities of both the Moldovan and Swiss governments.

The project also seeks to raise awareness among refugees and health care providers on health care packages available to refugees.
Progressing towards Universal Health Coverage in Moldova
01.05.2024
- 30.06.2027
Switzerland supports Moldova’s efforts to achieve better health of the population, through ensuring universal access to affordable medical services of good quality. In its 2nd (exit) phase, the project will accompany the health authorities in advancing health financing and service delivery reforms, improving the efficiency and responsiveness of the healthcare system, promoting transparency and accountability in the health sector, and empowering service users and civil society organizations to oversee healthcare services, their quality and resource allocation.
Strengthening Parliamentary Democracy in Moldova (PADEM)
01.02.2024
- 31.03.2029
Moldova’s political context is characterised by a persistent opposition between pro-European and pro-Russian factions. Over the last decades, this divide manifested in deep political polarization, recurring governance crises and poor performance of the legislative power. Strengthening parliamentary work is an important pre-requisite to a viable democracy. Switzerland will support the Parliament of Moldova to strengthen its legislative, representative and oversight functions, and to increase its efficiency and transparency.

01.11.2023
- 31.10.2027
Moldova is firmly committed to improve governance and service delivery at the local level through a local governance reform, which is also a necessary step in view of the possible accession to the European Union. This project will support the Moldovan national authorities in advancing the local governance reform, and the local authorities in designing and implementing more inclusive and transparent local governance practices and a more efficient delivery of various public services.
Moldova – Making the Most of Migration
01.06.2023
- 31.12.2026
With one third of Moldova’s population living abroad, the current country`s leadership is firmly committed to harness the development potential of migration. Previous Swiss-supported interventions resulted in a unique mobilization of Moldovan migrants committed to contribute to the development of their home communities. Switzerland will further support Moldova to ensure the sustainability of diaspora engagement models and to improve evidence-based governance through reliable demographic statistics, including migration trends.
