Investing in resilient communities in Moldova

The COVID-19 pandemic has put the spotlight on country’s capabilities and preparedness to act in crisis situations. It has also revealed disproportionate social and economic impacts of COVID-19 outbreak in rural and urban areas, and specifically on those who are already vulnerable and marginalized.

Despite the challenges revealed, this pandemic offers a very important opportunity to elaborate more on root causes of crisis phenomena, modernize national approaches to tackle crisis, as well as to start developing resilience, response and recovery mechanisms to all crises and risks, including eminent climate induced extreme weather risks.
