In the light of the demographic structure of its population, Moldova is experiencing rapid ageing of its population and an increasing demand for social and health services. Therefore, project activities should support better quality planning and development of a decentralized and deinstitutionalized system for the provision of social services and strengthen local providers of those services. The project also aims to create functional tools for the engagement of interns and volunteers and to develop an integrated system of social service management at the district and municipal levels by increasing the capacity and establishing strategic dialogue among the key actors. The project also includes the allocation of small grants to local providers of social services in accordance with the newly prepared strategy of social protection of four selected regions and modern fundraising activities to provide alternative sources of funding. The project specifically focuses for example on the home care center Estera in Chisinau which provides services to more than 360 clients a year.
