“Diaspora Succeeds at Home DAR 1+3” program is extended for 5 years - until 2030, and the amount of financing for projects within its framework will increase
The corresponding decision was adopted by the Government of Moldova. In particular, the amendments provide for increasing the minimum total amount of the project from 300 to 400 thousand lei and increasing the Government's contribution from 250 thousand to 350 thousand lei. Another innovation concerns the expansion of the areas covered by the program. Diaspora citizens will be able to cooperate with local authorities to implement projects in the fields of infrastructure, environmental protection, economy, energy efficiency, culture, education and social protection. The procedure for accessing projects will also be simplified and applications can also be submitted electronically. DAR 1+3 is an initiative that encourages the Diaspora to invest in the economic and social development of Moldova. Projects are funded through a 1+3 formula: Diaspora, Moldovan Government, local authorities and development partners. Since 2020, more than 194 local development projects have been implemented under this program. Also today, the government approved changes aimed at organizing Diaspora Days. Thus, the period of the Diaspora Days will be flexible rather than fixed, as it has been until now, and the role of organizer will be assigned to the Diaspora Relations Bureau of the State Chancellery. Also, the DOR program for children from the Moldovan Diaspora will become a component of the Diaspora Days events. // 05.03.2025 - InfoMarket
