With an overall budget of 3.92 million Swiss francs (the equivalent of over 80 million lei), the initiative will support SMEs in the agriculture and construction sectors in applying simplified mechanisms for compliance and integrity.
The project will be implemented until 2028 and its main goal is the strengthening of integrity and compliance of small and medium-sized enterprises of Moldova, contributing to the creation of a more transparent, competitive and resilient business environment.
