About OPTIM
Our mission
Optim is a market systems development (MSD) project that aims to stimulate selected market systems in Moldova, in order to have an inclusive and innovative society that is forceful enough to create opportunities for development for Moldova.
Our achievements
Already for 4 years, the Optim project has been contributing effectively and concretely to the implementation of sustainable intervention and goals and addressing major challenges in the Agri and IT sectors in Moldova.
Our goals
Optim Project's goal is to build an inclusive society, thorough new partnerships, reach new markets, and offer access to better skills, knowledge, and other resources that any citizen in Moldova could benefit from.
What we do
Optim Project aims at reducing the gap between the supply and demand in the job market and increased incomes for self-employed or small and medium enterprises, through engagement with a range of actors and networks and stimulation of favorable frame conditions through innovative business practices.
The sectors in which we operate
1
Information and communication technologies (ICT)
ICT offers the highest-paid in the country jobs, but the employers struggle to find competent workers. In the ICT sector, the project will contribute to the expansion of the training offered to the regions, supporting rural youth participation in this highly paid sector. At the same time, the project will work with the existing structures and improve their capacities to deliver market-driven educational offerings in regions.
2
Agriculture (Agrifood)
AgriFood – Moldova’s biggest sector and employer but offers low, often seasonal, wages. In AgriFood the project will focus on the development of services and products that would allow agribusinesses to generate higher income and stimulate the innovation at company level through several services. The project will partner with associations and develop services that would allow farmers to cope with existing challenges.
The project has selected two sectors, namely agriculture (Agrifood) and information and communication technologies (ICT). The two selected sectors have a high significance for the Moldovan economy, for different reasons. While agriculture is one of the largest sectors in terms of share of GDP, ICT has shown rapid growth within recent years and is high on the political agenda, offering attractive employment conditions for the youth.
However, despite its attractiveness and positive growth, the ICT sector still has a deficit of employees with relevant skills. Agriculture, on the other hand, is the sector where the largest share of the population is employed with the lowest income across all sectors.
