The project envisages a range of modern solutions and actions to enhance the service capacity of the target sectors, such as:

         I.                  Measures to improve peaceful coexistence between refugees and local communities through the establishment and expansion of joint formats between Ukrainian refugees and parts of the host communities, e.g., in the form of cultural and recreational activities in cooperation with local administrations, schools and youth centres

       II.                   Implement selected needs-based endowment measures and establishment of medico-social day care centres with mobile teams providing professional, stational and mobile primary care, with a larger geographical coverage, and

     III.                    Improving the usability of social services for the elderly, people with disabilities, children and youth, through a participatory analysis of barriers and development needs. Conduct a comprehensive capacity development programme with a focus on refugee context- and conflict-sensitive Psychosocial Support (PSS) aimed to strengthen the public service providers’ resilience to faced adversities in communication and their capacity to prevent and counteract conflicts, bullying and violence between the Ukrainian refugees and hosting communities.

A harmonised implementation of above actions is aimed to contribute to the alleviation of the current situation in the short and mid-term perspectives in poorer districts of Moldova mostly affected by the refugee influx.

Vulnerable Ukrainian refugees and members of host communities, especially women, children and young people, elderly, and people with disabilities.
