Facilitating green public investments in Moldova

Implementation of green public investment programmes effectively leads to considerable environmental and climate-related benefits. Under the EU4Environment Action, the OECD assisted the Government of

Moldova to drive the implementation of the Clean Public Transport (CPT) Programme, designed in 2017–18. This report provides a comprehensive overview of the activities conducted in 2021 that will facilitate

public authorities in Moldova to prepare the Programme’s launch and successful implementation. The technical assistance included: updating the assumptions of the CPT Programme, calculating exemplary

financing scenarios and surveying potential domestic and international financing sources. The initial pilot cities of Chisinau and Balti were joined by Ungheni, Cahul, and Edinet.

The Programme’s pilot phase was extended to ensure a smoother transition to its scaling-up phase, that will also cover suburban areas of the focal cities and some intercity connections. Overall, the implemented projects in Moldova and the Programme will help local public authorities to acquire the necessary expertise in programmatic approach and to support the national government to mainstream cleaner mobility into strategic documents.
