The Project on civic engagement in local governance “MA IMPLIC” (2019-2023), implemented by Skat Consulting Ltd., financially supported by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (hereinafter “SDC”), supports the development of the Congress of Local Authorities in Moldova (CALM) as a local self-governance and municipal management expertise center for setting good standards, technical support, and advice and experience dissemination. During October 2020 – January 2021, MA IMPLIC has supported a market research analysis of available/used e-learning platforms in Moldova, and also a needs assessment in the context of the e-platform development. This was followed by the development of a concept for the CALM e-platform for trainings and support services for local public administrations (LPAs) and communal service providers (SPs), including a general Action Plan for its establishment and implementation (attached in Annex 1). The analysis and development of the concept was done with involvement of CALM – the organization to host and own the e-platform.
