Project duration: 01.09.2015-20.12.2015
The need to develop green economy is promoted lately more frequently nationally and internationally, gaining support from both the governments of many European countries and at the EU level.
The Moldovan government has also aligned to the development of green economy commitments, recorded in the National Development Strategy "Moldova 2020" and the National Environmental Strategy of the Republic of Moldova, but they are not directly related to green SMEs development.
On April 29, 2015, the National Institute for Economic Research in cooperation with Inspiro Consulting organized the event of launching of the project ”AGRIBUSINESS ASSOCIATION MODEL IN V4 COUNTRIES: A NEW PERSPECTIVE FOR MOLDOVA COMPETITIVENESS” financed by Visegrad Fund.
The project “PROMOTING BETTER ENVIRONMENTAL PERFORMANCE OF SMALL AND MEDIUM-SIZED ENTERPRISES (SME)”
Project duration: 01.04.2014 - 30.09.2014 (6 months)
Although small businesses’ individual environmental footprint in EU Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) may be low, their aggregate impact is considerable. However, EaP countries have given little consideration to the greening of small businesses, and lack the legal, policy and institutional means to enhance the environmental performance of SMEs. The SME Policy Index report produced by the OECD, the European Commission and the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development in 2012 recommended that EaP countries include green economy concepts in their SME programmes and strategies and provide resources for the promotion of eco-efficient business among SMEs.
On 31 of January 2014, the Council of Ambassadors of Visegrad Fund approved grant projects submitted within last year’s deadlines of Extended Standard Grants. From 23 accepted projects, the project entitled Introducing EU standards in Moldova: towards a new model of cooperation and planning has been approved.
