  • Promotion of Human Security of Ukrainian Refugees, Third-Country Nationals, and Host Communities in Moldova Through Socio-Economic Empowerment and Inclusion?

    Duration: February 2023 - March 2024
    Budget: US$1,691,435
    Implementing Agencies: UNDP (lead), IOM

    Moldova's development has been significantly impacted by overlapping crises, further intensified by the conflict in Ukraine. Since February 2022, over 700,000 Ukrainian refugees have entered the country, equivalent to more than 4% of the local population. This rapid influx has strained essential services and increased food and energy insecurity in the context of rising inflation. The refugee influx has also deepened socio-economic challenges and increased social tensions, with over 70% of Ukrainian refugee household heads unemployed due to legal barriers, language difficulties, and limited job opportunities.??
