The “MĂ IMPLIC – Phase II” project continues to support the development of rural communities in the Republic of Moldova through investments that bring direct benefits to people. On 18 September 2025, the communes of Risipeni and Călinești in Fălești rayon signed cooperation agreements, paving the way for energy efficiency interventions designed to improve the daily lives of residents and modernize public infrastructure.

In Risipeni, around 25 private households will undergo improvements such as the replacement of windows and doors and thermal insulation of the attic. These measures are expected to increase the energy efficiency of homes by about 30%, reduce heat losses, and lower energy bills. In the near future, a public call will be launched, allowing other residents of the commune to apply and benefit from similar interventions.

In Călinești, the investment focuses on the Cultural House, which also hosts the town hall, library, and other public institutions. Through interior renovations and thermal insulation of the attic floor and socle, the building will become more comfortable and energy-efficient. The value of the grant allocated for this intervention amounts to 45,000 Swiss francs (approximately 900,000 MDL).

Through these interventions, residents of Risipeni and Călinești will benefit from better-insulated homes and public buildings, a higher standard of living, and reduced energy consumption. Bills on energy and heating will become more affordable, while the communities will also contribute to environmental protection by reducing resource losses and emissions.
