We had the privilege of welcoming SKAT Consulting’s new CEO, Ms. Rupa Mukerji, to Moldova from December 2nd to 6th. During her visit, Ms. Mukerji held fruitful discussions with key stakeholders, including the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC), the National Centre for Sustainable Energy (CNED), as well as local partners involved in SKAT-implemented projects such as MĂ IMPLIC, APASAN+, and had a meeting with ADA (Austrian Development Agency).

Throughout the week, Ms. Mukerji visited communities in Floresti, Prodănești, Vorniceni, and Lozova, where she had the opportunity to meet with partner LPAs and community representatives. These communities are benefiting or have benefited from important initiatives under the MĂ IMPLIC and APASAN+ projects, focused on enhancing municipal services and improving environmental sustainability. Ms. Rupa Mukerji also learned more about the EnEff component of the MĂ IMPLIC Project, which aims to boost energy efficiency in public buildings.

It was a great moment for Ms. Mukerji to meet the SKAT Consulting Moldova team, strengthening internal connections and further aligning with our shared development goals.

The visit provided an invaluable opportunity to see firsthand the positive impact of these projects, with discussions centered around their progress and future collaboration to further strengthen Moldova’s sustainability and community development.  

We are grateful for Ms. Mukerji’s visit and look forward to the continued success of our joint efforts in Moldova. 

We remind that, the MĂ IMPLIC Project is managed by Skat Consulting Ltd (SKAT), a Swiss consulting company with extensive experience in development and humanitarian aid in transition and  developing countries. With a history of nearly four decades, SKAT has established itself as a leader in providing technical and managerial expertise, facilitating the design and implementation of successful projects in over 100 countries.

The core mission of SKAT is to reduce the socioeconomic gap by promoting sustainable living practices and improving the living conditions of marginalized communities. SKAT’s areas of expertise include essential municipal services such as water supply, sanitation and solid waste management, road infrastructure, construction, energy efficiency, and climate resilience. 

In Moldova, SKAT has a proven track record, having led the implementation of the Swiss Water and Sanitation Project (ApaSan), funded by the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC). Currently, SKAT is actively involved in implementing the EnEff activity (Energy Efficiency in Moldova’s Villages), as part
of the MĂ IMPLIC Project. This initiative aims to support selected communities in improving energy efficiency in both public buildings and private homes, fostering the implementation of solutions to enhance comfort and reduce energy consumption. Beyond Moldova, SKAT also oversees the DESPRO Decentralization Support
Project in Ukraine, again with funding from SDC, further emphasizing its commitment to driving sustainable development and decentralization in the region.
