The signing of the Agreement is a result of the joint work of the Community Initiative Team and the Municipality of Copceac, which together with the citizens, make joint efforts to improve the communal sanitation service, with the support of MĂ IMPLIC Project.  Under the agreement, the partner-municipality receives a grant of a maximum of 1.2 mln lei, for carrying out the works and procuring the necessary equipment, for the extension of the sewerage network in 4 streets in the locality.

For the realization of the project, the Municipality of Copceac contributes with 700 thousand lei, and the local citizens collected another 200 thousand lei.

During the signing ceremony,Oleg Garizan, mayor of Copceac village, mentioned that the realization of this project is an important step in modernizing communal services and creating better living conditions for the citizens of Copceac.

In addition to financial support, the municipality receives 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.
