More than 80 women from various regions of the Republic of Moldova took part in a hands-on seminar on April 2 titled \u201cFunding Sources for Women-Led Businesses,\u201d organized within the SheLeads<\/a> program.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, only about 33% of businesses in Moldova are founded and fully led by women. Among the main barriers they face are limited access to finance, persistent gender norms, and the burden of unpaid care work \u2014 women spend twice as much time on household and caregiving responsibilities compared to men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Among the participants was Ana Bradu<\/strong>, one of the SheLeads beneficiaries and founder of Green Pack Moldova<\/strong>, a business offering sustainable packaging solutions, eco-friendly shopping, and home composting systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cFor me, this event was very useful because the topic of funding sources was thoroughly explored \u2014 from grants and loans to dual education and hiring programs. Every participant, regardless of business size, could find at least one relevant opportunity. I learned about funding options tailored to my sector, which inspired me to keep developing my business,\u201d Ana said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

The seminar was organized under the SheLeads<\/strong> program, implemented by the Association for Entrepreneurial Education and Development (AFAD)<\/strong> in consortium with Global Business Access<\/strong>, within the EVOLVE4GE<\/strong> project financed by the European Union and implemented by UN Women Moldova<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mate Cikszai<\/strong>, Head of the Political Section at the EU Delegation to Moldova<\/strong>, emphasized the importance of closing gender gaps in entrepreneurship: \u201cWhen we talk about women\u2019s economic independence, both Moldova and EU countries face similar challenges. But Moldova also has unique barriers that require targeted interventions. Although the share of women in business is comparable to the EU \u2014 around one-third \u2014 Moldovan women face more obstacles in accessing loans and business support. Increasing the number of women in business and leadership can unlock Moldova\u2019s economic and innovation potential, contributing to a more resilient, secure, and peaceful future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The SheLeads program<\/strong>, funded by the EU and implemented through the EVOLVE4GE project, provides women with practical tools, expert guidance, and tailored support to make strategic decisions when applying for funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\u201cUN Women Moldova is working to ensure more women feel confident and have the skills they need to secure funding to grow their businesses. By investing in women entrepreneurs, we\u2019re not only narrowing the gender gap but also unlocking economic potential that benefits society as a whole,\u201d said Ivona Paunovi\u0107-Bi\u0161evac<\/strong>, EVOLVE4GE Project Manager at UN Women Moldova.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Andrii Hlevatskyi<\/strong>, Vice President of maib<\/strong>, spoke about the importance of supporting women entrepreneurs and dispelling myths around risk: \u201cIn banking, women are often perceived as a high-risk group. But based on my experience assessing financial risk, the opposite is true \u2014 women, both as individuals and legal entities, are more responsible when it comes to repayments and credit behavior.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The seminar served as an interactive platform where representatives from 7 national and international organizations shared clear strategies and funding solutions tailored to women-led businesses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Participants learned about:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  • Funding programs from the Organization for Entrepreneurship Development (ODA)<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Investment opportunities in agriculture and IT under the OPTIM<\/strong> project, supported by the Swiss Government and Helvetas<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Social entrepreneurship support via the East Europe Foundation (FEE)<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Alternative financing through GIZ Moldova<\/strong>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Grants and loans offered by UCIP IFAD<\/strong>, supported by the International Fund for Agricultural Development;<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Digital solutions presented by ACETI<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Mariana Bostan-Madan<\/strong>, who has managed a children\u2019s goods store in the Tru\u0219eni village for eight years, also attended: \u201cFor me, the most valuable part was networking. I didn\u2019t just discover funding opportunities \u2014 I also met potential partners and mentors. It gave me new insights and the motivation to digitize parts of my business.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Isai Sp\u00eenu<\/strong>, Head of Operations at ODA<\/strong>, outlined grant programs for start-ups and growing women-led businesses: \u201cBesides grants, women can also access low-interest loans through the government\u2019s 373 program. The \u2018FACEM Investment BGK\u2019 product combines loans with a grant component focused on energy efficiency. There\u2019s also a training program covering business management, strategic planning, digitalization, and more.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ana \u021aibulac<\/strong>, Deputy Director of the OPTIM project<\/strong>, described the grant eligibility criteria for the agri-food and IT sectors and the project\u2019s support for digitalization: \u201cTo improve private sector competitiveness, we promote access to knowledge, technologies, and sustainable business models.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    East Europe Foundation (FEE)<\/strong> representatives talked about the role of social entrepreneurship in economic development: \u201cWe\u2019ve supported 56 civil society organizations in launching or expanding social enterprises. We also created a special label to promote their goods and services,\u201d shared Ana Curac<\/strong>, Program Director at FEE.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ludmila Stihi<\/strong>, GIZ expert, explained how companies can partner with educational institutions and get reimbursed for up to 50% of training costs through ODA. \u201cThe Ministry of Education and the Chamber of Commerce can help businesses find the right training partners.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Iurie U\u0219urelu<\/strong>, Director of UCIP IFAD<\/strong>, spoke about rural support initiatives: \u201cIn over 24 years of IFAD projects in Moldova, we\u2019ve developed solutions ranging from irrigation infrastructure to support for youth and women-led rural start-ups.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Ion Bodrug<\/strong>, President of ACETI<\/strong>, presented digital tools and shared how they help businesses access funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Svetlana Dolgoploia<\/strong>, Business Banking Sales Manager at maib<\/strong>, highlighted the bank\u2019s financial services for women entrepreneurs: \u201cWe support women through financing, dedicated programs, and training aimed at increasing financial literacy and business sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The seminar concluded with a networking session where participants exchanged ideas, built partnerships, and explored strategic collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The #SheLeads<\/strong> program, implemented by AFAD in partnership with Global Business Access and supported by the EU and UN Women Moldova, empowers women to launch and grow their businesses by providing the tools, guidance, and confidence they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Over the past three months, 45 women have completed the program\u2019s first stage \u2014 gaining both business and personal development training. In the next phase, participants will receive one-on-one mentorship to develop their business plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    By strengthening entrepreneurial skills and improving access to finance, #SheLeads<\/strong> contributes to the resilience of women-led businesses, supports local economic growth, and advances gender equality in line with the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
