This partnership is designed to support practical, high-impact improvements in the way business support services are delivered in Moldova. The focus will be placed on the digitalization of training programmes, capacity-building for business consultants, and institutional development within ODA — all essential components for building a more responsive and future-ready support system for local entrepreneurs.

“Investing in the institutional strength of key organisations like ODA is critical if we want SMEs in Moldova to not just survive, but thrive in a modern economy,” said Bojan Kolundžija, Country Director of Helvetas Moldova.

ODA plays a pivotal role in shaping Moldova’s business landscape. Strengthening its capacity means enabling more entrepreneurs to access better services, adapt to emerging challenges, and contribute more effectively to the national economy.

This collaboration between Helvetas and ODA underscores a shared commitment to building a more dynamic, inclusive, and resilient SME sector in Moldova - one that drives sustainable economic growth and creates long-term opportunities for local businesses.
