EU Grant Call: Municipal Enterprises Can Receive Emergency Response Equipment
Cities across the Republic of Moldova will be equipped with specialized machinery to enable rapid response to natural disasters and other emergencies. Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova, with financial support from the European Union, has launched a grant program worth nearly MDL 6.5 million for municipal enterprises responsible for public utility services.
This initiative aims to strengthen the ability of small and medium-sized cities to respond effectively to natural disasters, climate change, and other risks. The provided equipment will support swift interventions in cases of heavy snowfall, torrential rain, household flooding, fallen trees, and blocked roads, helping to protect local communities.
The funding program offers two types of equipment packages. The first includes six sets of medium-power tractors (50–90 HP) with snow ploughs, essential for winter road maintenance. The second package provides equipment to mitigate the effects of storms, floods, and other natural disasters, including six sets of tipping trailers, woodchippers, and water pumps.
A total of 12 municipal enterprises will receive funding, with each eligible to access up to MDL 766,000 worth of equipment under Package 1 and up to MDL 312,000 under Package 2. Applications are open only to municipal enterprises managing public utility services in towns with a population of up to 18,000 residents.
Application deadline: 31 March 2025.
