SKAT Consulting Annual Report 2024: Better Public Services and Sustainable Solutions for Communities

SKAT Consulting Annual Report 2024: Better Public Services and Sustainable Solutions for Communities

Fundația Centrul Moldo-Elvețian pentru Cooperare SKAT is part of SKAT Consulting – a leading Swiss company specialized in international cooperation and the development of essential public services. With a clear mission to contribute to better living conditions and a healthy environment for all, SKAT supports governments, the private sector, and civil society around the world in the fields of water, construction, energy, and governance.

The SKAT Consulting Annual Report for 2024 has been published, reflecting the impact of projects implemented globally – from Ukraine and the Balkans to Africa and Asia. One of the key highlights is the work in the Republic of Moldova, through the “MĂ IMPLIC – Civic Engagement in Local Governance” project, supported by the Government of Switzerland.

MĂ IMPLIC – Change through Engagement

In 2024, the MĂ IMPLIC project entered its second phase, working with 56 partner municipalities in Moldova to improve the quality of public services for more than 106,000 citizens. Given the challenges inherited from a centralized system and the often fragmented political climate, the project helps strengthen the capacity of local authorities and encourages citizen participation in local governance.

 “What unites us is the clear desire to improve life in our communities – through better services, whether it’s waste management, public lighting, or water supply.” — Anatol Bucatca, Public Services Manager, MĂ IMPLIC Project

 

Energy Efficiency for a Sustainable Future

In 2024, the EnEff – Energy Efficiency component continued to generate impact in rural communities across Moldova. 400 private homes were renovated, each assessed individually to identify the most effective energy-saving measures – resulting in over 30% energy savings per household.

Public buildings were also modernized, and photovoltaic systems were installed, contributing to more sustainable energy consumption and reducing dependence on fossil fuels. The lessons learned were widely shared with the public through the national campaign “Warm in Winter, Cool in Summer”, carried out in partnership with the National Centre for Sustainable Energy (CNED), through guides, workshops, and video materials promoting simple and effective solutions for more comfortable and energy-efficient homes.

Access to Water for the Residents of Satul Nou: Infrastructure Investment with the Support of the MĂ IMPLIC Project

Access to Water for the Residents of Satul Nou: Infrastructure Investment with the Support of the MĂ IMPLIC Project

On April 11, 2025, a collaboration agreement was signed between the Moldo-Swiss Cooperation Center Foundation (SKAT), the Satul Nou Municipality, and the technical executor SA DSRM-3, for the implementation of essential works to modernize the local water supply system.

The project includes:
construction of a new platform equipped with two water towers, each with a volume of 50 m³ and a pumping height of 18 meters

installation of a new water supply pipeline, connecting Well 1127 to the platform and linking it to the external water distribution network of the locality

This investment will have both an immediate and long-term impact on the quality of life in the community:
💧 Secure and continuous access to drinking water for households, public institutions, and future local investments
💧 Reduced vulnerability during drought periods and increased climate resilience
💧 Improved living conditions and support for local economic development
💧 Modernized technical infrastructure and more efficient public service management

This activity is part of the “Energy Efficiency and Water Supply” Component of the MĂ IMPLIC Project, a civic engagement project in local governance, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by Skat Consulting Ltd.

MĂ IMPLIC supports local authorities and citizens in improving public services through strategic planning, smart investments, and community involvement, contributing to the sustainable development of localities across the Republic of Moldova.
