On September 26, 2025, the Municipality of Cupcini hosted an important event for the community – the signing of the Grant Agreement within the “MĂ IMPLIC” project, funded by the Government of Switzerland and implemented by SKAT. The event officially marked the collaboration between the municipalities of Cupcini, Chetroșica Nouă and Stolniceni, forming Intercommunal Partnership #3 aimed at developing a joint solid waste management service for the benefit of local citizens.

The partnership was established as a response to the need to modernize the existing sanitation service, expand coverage, and implement solutions adapted to the local context.

What do the three LPAs aim to achieve??

✔️ Equip the intercommunal operator with modern equipment: collection trucks, bins, containers and a baling press;

✔️ Set up waste collection platforms and temporary storage areas;

✔️ Install a video monitoring system to prevent illegal dumping;

✔️ Strengthen the organizational capacity of the municipal enterprise;

✔️ Run awareness campaigns on selective waste collection and environmental protection.

Total estimated investment: 6,040,150 MDL:

4.82 million MDL – non-reimbursable funding from the Government of Switzerland, through the “MĂ IMPLIC” project
1.21 million MDL – local contribution from the three municipalities

Through this project, the municipalities of Cupcini, Chetroșica Nouă and Stolniceni have committed to a shared vision – to build a reliable and sustainable waste management service that serves the citizens of the three localities efficiently and equitably.

These investments will help raise sanitation standards, reduce environmental risks, and foster civic responsibility among residents.
