A Delegation Agreement Contract was signed between Germany and the EU for increased access of citizens of the Republic of Moldova to improved Water Supply and Sanitation services and Energy Efficiency in public buildings.

The German Development Cooperation through GIZ and the Delegation of the European Union to the Republic of Moldova have signed the Delegation Agreement on construction works for Water Supply and Sanitation(WSS) and Energy Efficiency(EE) projects in three Development Regions of the Republic of Moldova to be implemented by GIZ within the frame of ‘Modernization of Local public services in the Republic of Moldova’ (MLPS) project so to increse synergies. The total budget is EUR 39.8 million entirely provided by the European Union and the Action is planned to be implemented over a period of 39 months.

As a result of this Agreement, some essential infrastructure (at least 10 Water Supply and Sanitation and 8 Energy Efficiency in public buildings) emerging from the regional planning will be built and made operational. Final beneficiaries will be more than 200.000 citizens from approximately 25 localities of the Republic of Moldova.

EE measures to be applied for schools will provide with optimum conditions for professional activity and study of personnel and students from several localities. In relation to WSS measures, the main expected results are to improve the infrastructure for the provision of water services and increase the population rate connected to them. All these measures will eventually help in overcoming rural and urban disparities.

It is useful to mention that European Union has financially contributed also to MLPS project in 2013.
