The “Energy Efficiency in Moldova’s Villages EnEff” component, part of the “Mă Implic” project, has already made significant progress: 8 public buildings in 8 localities have been made more energy-efficient , and 400 beneficiaries in 21 localities have received support for energy efficiency improvements in their homes. Additionally, a national communication campaign has been conducted to explain the benefits and the how-to-do of energy efficiency measures.

While the focus on building upon the achievements of the energy efficiency efforts, the new component will also tackle the urgent needs for clean water and hygiene, all while adapting to climate change and ensuring the long-term sustainability of water infrastructure.

The new Energy Efficiency component will continue the progress made in the previous phase of EnEff, focusing on improving energy efficiency in public buildings and private households. While the primary emphasis will be on the communities already involved, there is potential to extend support to new locations based on specific criteria. This phase will also offer opportunities to enhance energy efficiency at the household and public building levels in these areas.

In parallel, the Water Supply component will focus on improving water access and service resilience in four villages: Bădiceni, Satul Nou, Dîngeni, and Copăceni. The key goal is to strengthen local governance and ensure reliable access to clean drinking water and safe sanitation. This initiative aligns with the project’s overall objective of developing sustainable water infrastructure and enhancing long-term service sustainability.
