Japan will provide Moldova with a new grant of $45,500 to modernize the social assistance center, and has previously allocated $7.9 million in grants under the Kusanone program to implement 96 projects in various fields
As reported by the Japanese Embassy in Moldova, the Japanese Ambassador to Moldova, Kazuyuki Takeuchi, alongside the Director of the Social Partner Public Association, Svetlana Petica, signed a grant agreement for $45,538, financed by the Japanese government under the Kusanone program. The assistance provided will be used to carry out renovation work at the Social Partner Public Association in Leova. The renovation is necessary so that people in vulnerable situations who use the services of this center can receive assistance in a safer environment. Under the Kusanoe program, the Japanese government supports local organizations by providing small grants. Kazuyuki Takeuchi welcomed the project proposal from the Social Partner Public Association and expressed his gratitude to the organization for its work in caring for people in need. He stated that this project will improve access to the center's social protection services for vulnerable residents of Leova and will contribute to the promotion of fundamental human rights. They will have access to water, sanitation, and hot meals in a safe and comfortable environment. The Kusanone Human Security Grant Program was launched in Moldova in 2008. To date, Japan has provided $7.9 million in grant funding for 96 projects (excluding the new project) in the areas of health, education, and public utilities. // 09.03.2026 – InfoMarket
