According to Grigore Stratulat, state secretary of the environment ministry, some 185,000 people in Nisporeni, Ungheni and Calarasi will benefit from a modern system of sustainable waste management.

According to the Ministry of Finance, this funding complements a €25 million loan from the EBRD to the Moldovan government, part of a wider financing package, with an additional loan from the European Investment Bank and investment grants from other bilateral donors.

To date, the Bank has invested over €2 billion in the Republic of Moldova through 160 projects, with 52% of its portfolio in sustainable infrastructure.
