On the one hand, the project will target organisations with the capacity to foster systemic change as well as businesses, and, on the other hand, people who will benefit from better opportunities and income (end-beneficiaries).

The private sector, its actors and representatives are the primary partners of this project. It includes entities such as sector and business organisations, intermediaries and companies.

Among its beneficiaries, the project will also target returning migrants, women and excluded groups such as rural youth and ethnic minorities. 

Outcome 1: Private sector actors are more competitive, access higher value markets and improve the quality of their job offer.

Outcome 2: Moldovan women and men increase their employability and make informed career choices.

Expected results:  

• 20 partners offer new or better services and products to 300 private sector actors for accessing higher value markets.
• 700 private sector actors adopt new technologies to improve productivity, with 60% related to climate-smart technologies.
• 20 multistakeholder partnerships for innovation and advocacy introduce more than 40 reform proposals addressing the needs of businesses. 
• 250 private sector actors mobilize up to CHF 1’750’000 through formal financial products and services for expanding their business and skills.
• 75% of trainees are satisfied with relevant courses provided by 20 training providers.

Results from previous phases:   3’021 people (37% from excluded groups) benefitted from improved economic opportunities and earned over CHF 7.25 million (33% for excluded groups) of net additional income.
