About 54.5 million lei will be allocated this year from the National Fund for Regional Development (FNDR) in order to implement nine projects in the Southern Development Region, which are found in the Program Document 2022-2024. The decision was taken at a meeting of the National Council for the Coordination of Regional Development (CNCDR), which approved the annual project-financing plan.
According to the annual plan for financing priority regional development projects in the south of the country, most of the money will be used to implement eight infrastructure projects, whose general objective is to supply water and sanitation to localities and ensure citizens’ access to public services quality. The projects will have a total budget of about 39.7 million lei this year.
Another 9.41 million lei are to be used for the implementation of a business infrastructure development project in Cahul district, which provides for the connection to utilities of subzone No18 (Cahul) from Balti Free Economic Zone.
Also, 5.41 million lei will be used to carry out measures to consolidate urban revitalization by developing the infrastructure of public spaces in a sector in Causeni.
“Infrastructure projects are a priority both at the country level and at the level of the Southern Development Region. However, we currently have the greatest responsibility in this area. Improving the infrastructure of utilities aims to ensure living and living conditions, better work for the citizens of the Southern Region. This desideratum is a common one for all the actors involved in the process of regional and local development,” Ion Pinzari, interim director of the South Regional Development Agency (ADR), said.
For this year CNCDR approved a record budget of 280 million lei for all 46 projects in the Program Document. The estimated cost of the projects included in the document is 1.5 billion lei and they will be implemented in the development regions of the country in the period 2022-2024.
