Deadline Extension: Purchase of Individual protection equipment, intervention and communication equipment for firefighters and rescuers
Context
Organizational Context: Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova is the Chisinau Branch of Fundacja Solidarności Międzynarodowej, Warsaw, a state foundation, managed and co-financed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland, created to contribute to the development of the neighbouring countries.
Project Context: EU4 Moldova Resilience – Secure States, Resilient Communities (EU4MR), a 2-year project funded by the European Commission through the Service for Foreign Policy Instruments (FPI) and implemented by Solidarity Fund PL in Moldova (SFPL in Moldova). It is being launched as part of the European Union’s support for the Republic of Moldova in the context of the country’s intensified integration process into the EU and the decreasing geopolitical security in the region, exacerbated by Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. The general objective and expected outcome of the EU4MR project is to increase the Republic of Moldova’s resilience to emergencies and potential security threats. To this end, the capacities of state institutions will be strengthened to detect and counter potential emergencies and security threats. Additionally, the resilience of local communities will be enhanced by fostering local development opportunities that maintain social cohesion and increase confidence in the European path of the Republic of Moldova as a perspective for modernization and development of the country.
The expected results of the project implementation are:
Result 1: State institutions have enhanced their capacity to protect critical infrastructure, identify, detect, and counter threats, and inform the population about threats.
Result 2: The resilience of society to security threats is improved through various local opportunities and initiatives that maintain and promote social cohesion, thereby increasing confidence in the European integration process.
Together, these results will contribute to increasing the resilience of the Republic of Moldova to security threats.
One of the components of the Project provides for the improvement of the civil protection system at the local level by increasing the number of Volunteer Firefighter Stations (VFS) in communities, which will allow both risk prevention and primary interventions in emergency and exceptional situations.
The successful implementation of the project will allow the expansion of the VFS network in Moldova from 25 to 35 units, increasing their capacities by equipping them with personal protection, intervention and communication equipment, as well as raising the professionalism of volunteer firefighters.
