Implementation and monitoring of Communal Service Improvement Plans by partner communities

Implementation and monitoring of Communal Service Improvement Plans by partner communities

The MĂ IMPLIC project organized a training and planning session for the eight community facilitators on July 13, 2022. Each locality-partner of the MĂ IMPLIC project benefits from the assistance of community facilitators at each intervention stage of the project. Now all 30 localities/groups of partner localities have reached the stage of implementing the Communal Service Improvement Plan, a document of major importance in organization and strategic planning in the field of municipal services.

The event had several objectives:

  • Identifying the progress of the partner communities in the implementation of the Communal Service Improvement Plans (SIP) and running the interventions: the organization of public procurement, citizen participation and public communication. Success factors and risks.
  • Presentation of the tools for coordinating the implementation process of the SIPs in the partner communities
  • Recommendations regarding the application of the monitoring tool in the partner communities based on the pilot exercise.

The training session also included the presentation of Mr. Lilian Danilov, Manager of civil society and civic involvement within the MĂ IMPLIC project, who presented the conclusions of the “Citizen Participation and Inclusive Governance” training program, which he recently attended in The Hague Academy for Local Governance.

 

The event was hosted by Căplani Municipality. Valeriu Tabunșcic, the mayor of Căplani village on this occasion presented the tourist objective “Porțile Raiului” (Heaven Gates) to the participants of the event. The tourist location was set up at the initiative of the mayor, who proposed to capitalize on the water springs at the edge of the village. A green park with benches, fountains and children’s playground, cold water pools, all designed with the involvement of every person in the community. A beautiful example of community mobilization, supported by the enthusiasm and determination of every citizen of the village.

 

We remind you that in the period 2021-2023, thirty localities/groups of localities are implementing projects aimed at improving the delivery of communal services, with the support of the “MĂ IMPLIC” project, funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by SKAT Consulting.

Ciuciuleni signed the Grant Agreement within the partnership with the MĂ IMPLIC Project

The signing of the Agreement is a result of the joint work of the Community Initiative Team and the Municipality of Ciuciuleni, which together with the citizens, make joint efforts to improve the communal water supply service, with the support of MĂ IMPLIC Project.  

Under the agreement, the partner-municipality receives a grant of a maximum of 1.2 million lei, for carrying out the works and/or procuring the necessary equipment, for extending the local water supply network by 1.5 km and building a water collection station. Ciuciuleni Municipality contributes 680 thousand lei for the project.

In addition to financial support, beneficiaries receive consultancy and capacity-building services. The “MĂ IMPLIC” project helps the municipality and the service provider not only to improve the infrastructure but also to develop long-term approaches to keep this infrastructure in good shape and to have sustainable models for financing the provision of services. In our work, we ensure that local citizens, LPA employees, NGOs, and businesses are actively involved in modernizing community services in the community and especially that the less advantaged have equal access to these services.

The project is funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC) and implemented by SKAT Consulting.
