In 2016 and 2017 SDA Moldova will continue the Compact projects that invested in the transition to high value agriculture and road infrastructure in Moldova in order to contribute to poverty reduction through economic growth, by promoting a model for effective management of infrastructure investments, providing assistance to Water Users’ Associations established by farmers, facilitating the access to funding and expanding the irrigated areas.
