Harnessing the CSOs’ Potential to Promote and Develop the Social Entrepreneurship in Moldova
Project Description
Starting with January 1, 2022, the East Europe Foundation and its partners, the Keystone Moldova and Contact Center implements the project "Harnessing the potential of CSOs to promote and develop the social entrepreneurship in Moldova". The 36-months project aims to empower Moldovan CSOs to engage in creation of social enterprises which will contribute to sustainable economic growth of communities. The project is proposing a strong capacity building program, especially on business and financial management both for social enterprises, and for regional social business hubs which will further guide the social enterprises. Additionally, with project support CSOs will empower disadvantaged people (youth, persons with special needs, returned migrants, Roma minority, elderly, etc.) to be socially and economically included in labour market and it will be created a favourable ecosystem for the development of social enterprises through access to professional consultations at regional level and raised awareness through nationwide media campaign regarding social entrepreneurship.
EEF will focus on overall coordination and sub-granting components. Contact Centre will be responsible for capacity building of CSOs, and Keystone Moldova will focus on conducting the KAP research and elaboration of the methodology for impact measurement of social enterprises.
The project entails four interlinked components: KAP research for understanding the local and national context, setting up 4 Regional Social Business Hubs, creation or development of 15 Social Enterprises and education for social business.
